RME Fireface UFX FireWire and USB audio interface
Product no: AUA-FFUFX Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Fireface UFX audio interface is the RME flagship. It's an audio interface with 60 analogue and digital audio channels (30 inputs and 30 outputs), USB and FireWire connectors, on-board DSP effects, and sublime audio quality. Four of the twelve analogue inputs are equipped with a digital microphone and instrument preamp with phantom power. What's great about the Fireface UFX is that it's compatible with both PC and Mac, as well the iPad and as a stand-alone USB recorder.

Fireface UFX: a plethora of possibilities

The Fireface UFX has a maximum recording resolution of 24 bits/192 kHz and tons of connection options. Besides 12 analogue in and outputs, this interface features a stereo AES/EBU in and output and two ADAT inputs and outputs. It also has a word clock and a MIDI connector. Use the intuitive TotalMix software to adjust volume control, routing, and channel settings, as well as your on-board digital DSP effects.

DURec: direct USB recording and the iPad

RME's drivers for PC and Mac are known for their low latency and high stability, but boasts another two advantages as well. Depending on your application, you can record up to 22 channels at the same time using your iPad. Also, thanks to the DURec functionality, you can use the UFX as a standalone recorder. Your tracks are then recorded individually directly onto a USB stick.

Wrote the following about RME Fireface UFX FireWire and USB audio interface

Très bon produit,anciennement détenteur d'une FF 800, d'une babyface, d'une UCX et dernièrement possesseur d'une Babyface Pro, je resterais fidèle à cette marque qui ne m'a apporter que satisfaction.
Regrettant le nombre d'entrée de ma FF800 je me suis tourner vers cette UFX sur laquelle je lorgnais depuis des années et je ne suis pas déçu,il y a eu un bon en avant niveau convertisseur,preampli et connectique, la venu des remplaçantes UFX II et UFX+ permet sans doute de la toucher à un prix attractif et comme RME a un suivi de ses anciens produit pendant un long moment après leurs arrêts de production je la recommande au vu de la qualité, des possibilités et bien sur du prix.
A acheter les yeux fermés.
