A Does-it-all Interface from RME!

The super-versatile RME Fireface UCX hybrid interface offers up many of the hit features found in their Fireface UFX model, but in a more portable format. It comes loaded with redeveloped Hammerfall converters and a ton of I/O options, including a pair of phenomenal microphone pres, ADAT optical, S/PDIF, and more. RME's TotalMix FX DSP engine lets you track with latency-free studio-grade processing and effects.

Throughout the industry, RME is known for their premium converters and amazing analog sound quality - and the Fireface UCX is no exception! Its updated Hammerfall converters are second to none, and you'll love tracking with its extremely clear mic preamplifiers and lots of IO. But the Fireface UCX offers you a different kind of flexibility as well. This hybrid interface features both FireWire 400 and USB connections, including support for high-speed USB 3. What's more, you can even hook it up to your iPad 2 via the Camera Connection Kit - giving you the ultimate on-the-go pro-caliber recording rig!

The Fireface UCX comes loaded with a whole new version of RME's TotalMix FX engine. This dual-DSP rig uses one DSP chip for monitor mixing, leaving the other free for latency-free effects and processing. The routing side of TotalMix FX features a fully flexible 18 x 18 monitor mixer with up to nine independent stereo submixes. Each of the Fireface UCX's channels feature dedicated EQ and dynamics, plus reverb and delay processing. That means you can track with the effects and processing you need, without ever having to worry about latency or your computer's processing power.

To make the Fireface UCX even more flexible, RME equipped it with an integrated monitor control section. That lets you keep your studio monitors connected to the excellent hardware you trust and still get the Talkback, Listenback, Mono, and Dim functions you need.
