RME Fireface UFX+ Nominated For Best Audio Interface
The Fireface UFX+ is RME's most powerful audio interface ever, and features everything we've come to expect from the German pro audio specialists. Crystal-clear AD and DA conversion, connectivity options galore (analogue, AES, MADI, ADAT, USB 3 and Thunderbolt), unlimited routing between inputs and outputs with TotalMix FX, simultaneous backup recording with DURec, equal performance on Mac and PC, and fully comprehensive standalone operation.
The optional RME ARC USB (Advanced Remote Control) also adds even slicker control over all of the most used functions of TotalMix FX. The 14 buttons can be assigned to control whatever functions you like, so you can customise the ARC to suit your preferred workflow, with the jog wheel providing parameter adjustments. There's also a TS (Tip / Sleeve) connection for connecting a foot switch, which can be used as a remote talkback switch.
