RME Fireface UFX+ 24 Bit / 192 kHz, 188-channel Hi-Performance USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt Audio Interface

The UFX+ from RME Fireface is an audio interface that combines analog, AES, ADAT, MADI, S/PDIF, USB 2, USB 3 and Thunderbolt connectivity, with the capability for handling up to 94 channels of audio I/O with ease. Also, it includes the DURec (Direct USB Recording) and RME's renowned low-latency hardware and driver designs, making the interface especially suitable for situations where large amounts of data need to be moved about. For monitoring, low impedance Hi-Power headphone outputs offer ample power to drive any high- or low-impedance headphones.

  • Comprehensive MADI connectivity
  • In USB 2 mode, which is limited to 30 channels I/O (12 analog plus 16 ADAT plus AES), the MADI I/O is still available via RME's TotalMix FX digital mixer
  • Wordclock I/O (BNC) can be switched to MADI I/O (coaxial), and a special split mode supports the use of both MADI I/Os simultaneously, with 32 channel each on optical and coaxial
  • DURec, available on the front of the interface, offers second generation hardware with improved USB functionality and compatibility, providing greater reliability even with slower or multi-partitioned USB thumb drives
  • The maximum number of recordable channels has been raised to 76, meaning all 12 analog inputs plus 64 MADI channels can be recorded simultaneously
  • An internal Realtime Clock (RTC) delivers time-stamped files
  • TotalMix provides unlimited routing and mixing to the interface, with the capability to create as many independent submixes as output channels are available, and includes a complete effects system
  • TotalMix FX for iPad (available separately) adds full control over the mixer and DSP effects
