General

RME is a household name in the world of audio interfaces and conversion and their Babyface Pro has long earned its stripes. Regardless, RME now release the Babyface Pro FS, equipped with a number of improved features. For starters, it's been fitted with the SteadyClock FS circuit found in the ADI-2 Pro to allow for the lowest possible jitter. The headphone output is increased from 70 to 90 mW and the op-amps have also been taken from the ADI-2 Pro FS. Compared to its predecessor, the latency has been lowered with six samples and the signal-to-noise ratio has been improved; all without increasing total power consumption.

Improved Microphone and Line Inputs

To save space, RME have opted for an XLR socket for the key inputs and outputs. The two preamps are digitally driven and both feature switchable phantom power and thermal overload protection. Due to its efficient design, the Babyface Pro FS doesn't require any external power and takes all of its energy from a computer or laptop. There's a Toslink I/O that supports ADAT + SMUX or S/PDIF and 192 kHz sample rates and multi-tracking can be effortlessly done in combination with an external ADAT converter to give you twelve analogue inputs and outputs.

Mixing and Routing with TotalMix FX and TotalMix Remote

As with most recent RME interfaces, the Babyface Pro FS comes with TotalMix FX. This real-time digital mixer lets you send mixes and routings to all physical outputs, regardless of input and output channel and for unrivalled flexibility when it comes to stereo sub-mix monitoring. The FPGA-based DSP mixer has been fitted with a 3-band parametric equalizer plus reverb and delay on each input and output and TotalMix can be controlled via iPad, iPhone, PC or Mac. Fill in the IP address of your computer and you're ready to make adjustments to your headphone mix or routing from afar.

This is a fab interface. I bought it because I wanted to reduce latency as much as possible and it does the job. As a solo musician it works brilliantly (I only ever have one instrument/mic in at a time. NOTE: this is not just a plug-in-and-play interface (as opposed to something like the focusrite interfaces) it will take some time getting to grips with in terms of setting up and then navigating between the hardware and the software that comes with it (TotalMixFX) but there is a wealth of help via the manual, Babyface forums and folks on YouTube giving tutorials. I don't imagine, as a bedroom musician, needing another interface beyond this.

Ik werk al jaren met de Steinberg UR-RT2 en wilde met name vwb het opnemen van de akoestische gitaren verbetering. RME is een zeer goed merk en mijn eerdere ervaringen met een interne geluidskaart van RME waren uitstekend. De RME Fireface UCX II audio interface is voor mij too much dus werd het de Babyface. Klinkt inderdaad wat beter dan de UR-RT2. Met name helderder en transparanter. Wat ook een voordeel is zijn de vele mogelijkheden met Total Mix en de uitbreidingsmogelijkheden via ADAT. Nadeel is geen aan-uit knop en ik vind de MIDI breakout-kabel niet zo handig. Veel regel ik nu niet meer met de muis maar met de encoder (draaischijf). Werkt fantastisch.

Niet de goedkoopste, maar ben er wel zeer tevreden mee. Na een slechte ervaring met twee andere interfaces, is dit eindelijk wat het moet zijn. Ik gebruik dit met Cubase op een Windows workstation, werkt prima in DAW mode zonder al te veel gedoe met configuratie. Waar ik vroeger met moeite een latency van 20 ms kon halen, haal ik hiermee zonder probleem 6ms.

Geluidskwaliteit is erg goed, het ziet er ook allemaal zeer degelijk uit.

Zeker zijn geld waard!

Super apparaat! Heel zuiver geluid met een hele lage latency. Speel nu gitaar via mijn Babyface => PC => DAW => plugins => monitor speakers met nog maar een latency van 5,6 ms! Heb nu geen apparte oefenversterker meer nodig. (=hele vooruitgang vergeleken met mijn Roland Dual capture Ex, die gaf best een redelijk geluid maar alleen bij een latency van meer dan 20ms dus kon nooit gewoon 'live' spelen via mijn DAW en plugins op mijn pc ) Komt ook met een zeer handige mixer programma (Totalmix) daarmee kan je een apparte mix instellen voor bijvoorbeeld monitor speakers en hoofdtelefoon met apparte EQ, reverb etc. Maar ook kan je de werking van de buttons op de Babyface customizen. Bijvoorbeeld van de DIM button heb ik een mute button gemaakt. Al met al zeer tevreden!

Very good piece of kit. I upgraded from a Focusrite 3rd gen. 2i2 to this, and there is a clear difference in stability. With the Focusrite I used to get occasional pops and clicks after a while regardless of which packet size I set up but I've not had that whatsoever with the Babyface. Currently using a samplesize of 48, the lowest I can select, and I have no issues.

The RME TotalMix software is more advanced than what Focusrite offers, Focusrite is more beginner oriented. It took me about an hour to set up the software to my requirements, and I expect it will take a few hours more to master it. The audio routing capabilities specifically are a feature I am excited to use.

I plan to use this interface for a large variety of tasks on a Windows PC. Audio recording, playing midi instruments in a DAW, livestreaming, video games, general media consumption. High stability and low input/output latency are my main priorities, and it really seems the Babyface delivers. It seems RME really understands what they are doing.
