RME Fireface 800 Firewire Audio Interface Open Box

An Open-box is a new or very lightly used unit. They have never been sold and they were used as a window display or demo unit for short time. In many retail stores, they still can be sold as "Brand New". Every Open-box unit is guranteed problem free and without cosmetic blemish. Every Open-box unit comes with the same warranty as a brand new unit.

RME Fireface 800 Interface is the world's most great FireWire audio interface. It can feature up to 192 kHz sample rate, up to 56 channels record/playback, and true FireWire 800 sum up to an unparalleled high-end, high performance and high speed FireWire audio interface. RME Fireface 800 combines the latest and also recognizes technologies of preceding RME products with the fastest FireWire technology. The RME Fireface 800 offers the best worked out instrument input that could ever be found in an audio interface, a high power headphone output and signal-to-noise ratios of 119 dBA - typically RME!

Analog technology of the ADI-8 converters, microphone technology of QuadMic and OctaMic, TotalMix technology of the Hammerfall DSP series, years of experience in programming of efficient and reliable drivers, up to complete support from DIGICheck - only the best of the best, and even a bit more.

When working with several digital sources it is not only necessary to know if these are properly locked, but also if they are totally synchronized. RME's exclusive SyncCheck checks all input signals and displays their actual state, and thanks to our new Intelligent Clock Control concept you have all clocks and states under control - with ease. A display of the time code at the ADAT Sync-In port offers a quick check of the communication between peripheral device and Hammerfall.
