RME FireFace UFX USB/FireWire Audio Interface

RME Fireface UFX

 is a USB and FireWire audio interface that gives you 30 input and 30 output channels, digitally controlled preamps, a range of digital I/O options, and an onboard word clock. The Fireface UFX's included TotalMix FX DSP mixer and signal router you'll like; it maximizes what the Fireface UFX can do while it improves your workflow. The full-color front-panel display lets you meter plus view parameters and menus. Even the Fireface UFX can be configured for standalone use as a preamp, a monitor mixer, an AD/DA converter, etc.

If you're looking for I/O flexibility, look no further than the Fireface UFX! You don't just get 12 channels of premium analog I/O; Not only do you get AES/EBU, ADAT, S/PDIF, and MIDI I/O but you get a rock-solid onboard word clock. RME makes this interface as the ideal centerpiece for your studio setup. It even includes built-in monitoring control. When you couple that functionality with the TotalMix FX DSP mixer/router, you've a total studio solution. TotalMix FX is the redesigned and integrated digital high-end mixer and signal router, driven by two powerful DSP processors, with integrated EQ, dynamics and reverb/echo effects, plus built-in monitoring control.

TotalMix FX

• DSP-based TotalMix mixer allows fully independent routing and mixing of all 30 input and playback channels to all 30 physical outputs
• Two DSPs ensure an impressive performance even in extreme applications
• Up to 15 totally independent stereo sub-mixes, plus a comprehensive Control Room section, offer unrivalled monitoring capabilities and routing flexibility
• Every input and output channel comes with an extensive feature set, comparable to a full-scale digital console.
• Effects per channel include 3-band parametric EQ, adjustable low-cut, auto level, compressor, expander, MS processing and phase reversal.
• Reverb and echo effects unit is available for all channels via a stereo send and return bus.
• The FX-DSP uses automatic overload surveillance - as soon as no more effects can be added, the TotalMix surface will clearly signal this condition
• When changing to higher sample rates the UFX automatically deactivates all effects that exceed the DSP's performance - the DSP will never be overloaded
• The complete effects section not only adds a lot of flexibility to the recording chain, but makes latency burdened software obsolete
• TotalMix can easily replace any external mixer, e.g. to create different latency-free monitoring mixes with EQ and reverb for the main studio monitors, and the headphone of the vocalist(s) in the recording chamber
• The DSP hardware calculates RMS and Peak levels for all level meters, so there is zero CPU load on the host
• The main functions of TotalMix can be remote controlled via MIDI with any Mackie Control compatible controller
