RME Babyface Pro 24-Channel, multi-format mobile USB 2.0 High-Speed Audio Interface BABYFACE PRO

The RME Babyface Pro 24-Channel 192 kHz USB Bus-Powered Audio Interface is designed for a huge variety of studio and live recording applications. Expertly crafted from a block of aluminum, this portable interface is featured with a new XLR socket that integrates seamlessly into the housing. Separate driver stages for matching low and high impedance headphones are featured in parallel 6.3mm TRS and 3.5mm mini headphone jacks.

The interface ships with the company's TotalMix FX, a software mixer available for Windows, Mac OS X and iOS on an iPad. When using the device with an iPad, an external power adapter must be used, as the iPad alone is unable to power the interface. The mixer software allows you to use the interface in a wide variety of situations, from simple mixing of signals to more complicated routing configurations.

The unit's FPGA-based DSP mixer adds a flexible 3-band parametric equalizer on all inputs and outputs. Combined with the unit's low latency AD/DA converters and the company's unique SteadyClock technology to reduce jitter, the interface offers a professional recording solution in a compact form factor.

FPGA Chip

Uses a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) which enables flexible DSP processing

Class Compliant

Enables native support by operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and hardware like Apple's iPad, without the need for proprietary drivers


SteadyClock

Uses a highly efficient jitter reduction circuit to allow the converters to operate as if they were working with an internal clock at all times

 

TotalMix FX

Provides fully flexible mixing/routing for both studio and live applications via the company's hardware mixer
