Fireface UFX flaggskipet til RME
RME sin nye toppmodell Fireface UFX tilbyr kompromissløs funksjonalitet og kvalitet. Den har nye høykvalitets AD/DA, fjernstyrbare mikrofonforsterkere, display med flere vinduer med informasjon og potmetre som er en fryd å skru på. RME er godt kjent for sin unike AudioCore teknologi som i praksis fjerner hele problemstillingen med latency med sine lydkort. Den medfølgende DigiCheck programvaren med profesjonelle verktøy som bland annet RMS metere, Gonio Meter og spektrum analysator drar også fordel av denne AudioCore teknologien. Det samme gjør nye TotalMix 2 som nå har innebygget DSP effekter og prosessorer. Fireface UFX er en boks kvalitet i alle ledd og er alternativet for den profesjonelle som ønsker et verktøy i som ikke begrenser.

The high-end audio interface provides 60 channels of audio, digitally controlled high-end preamps, reference class converters and supports full 192 kHz operation. The UFX combines ultra-low latency operation with USB OR FireWire and the legendary RME driver stability and maintenance. It includes active jitter suppression, professional reference level support and a complete stand-alone functionality with all core features.
Equipped with the latest A/D and D/A converter chips, all I/Os operate up to 192 kHz and reach 118 dBA dynamic range on playback - even both headphone outputs. Their high power technology delivers high volume no matter if high or low impedance phones are used. The balanced analog inputs are based on RME's low-latency converter design from the high-end converter ADI-8 QS. The DA section is based on RME´s M-Series. Both designs guarantee excellent S/N and THD specs across a wide analog level range.
On top of it: TotalMix FX, the new digital high-end mixer and signal router, driven by two powerful DSP, with integrated effects plus built-in monitoring control. Every input and output channel comes with a luxury feature set, comparable to a full-scale digital console. The effects include 3-band parametric EQ, adjustable Low Cut, Auto Level, Compressor, Expander, MS Processing and phase reversal. The Reverb and Echo effects unit is available for all channels. The UFX offers all these effects even at 192 kHz operation.
The UFX provides four high-transparency preamps with the core technology from RME´s Micstasy – a high-end preamp for supreme sonic demands and critical applications, like the professional recording of classical concerts. The fully symmetrical preamp design impresses with extremely low distortion, excellent signal to noise ratio and a perfect linear frequency response. The digitally controlled gain of up to 65 dB is individually adjustable for every preamp. All level settings are 100% reproducible and can also be adjusted comfortably with the TotalMix software from the host computer or via a MIDI remote controller. The four inputs on the front use balanced XLR/TRS combo sockets and operate alternatively as Hi-Z inputs for direct recording of guitars or other instruments. Advanced Parallel Conversion: All four UFX preamps are feeding not only four, but eight AD converters. Each microphone channel uses a double, parallel AD conversion on two AD converters at the same time to reach exceptional signal-to-noise values and a performance not available with a classic converter design.
The impressive feature set is backed up by an extraordinary usability. A bright multi-functional color display provides full front panel metering for all 60 channels plus effect bus, and complete control of all key features - directly from the front of the UFX.
The UFX is also a perfect monitor controller with integrated talkback function for modern Mix-In-the-Box studios. The control room features on the interface itself work hand in hand with the control room section of TotalMix. A flexible management allows assigning any physical output to the three, directly knob-controlled monitor outputs.
All in all RME´s new Fireface interface sums up to a highly integrated pro audio solution, a full-blown studio, packed in a 19 enclosure. The interface is designed for users who don’t want to make compromises in sound, stability and ultra-low latency operation, and who long for an unrivaled professional feature set with identical operation on Windows PC and Mac.
The UFX comes with RME´s unique DIGICheck metering and analysis toolbox.
