MacProVideo.com are the latest to review the RME Fireface UCX. The review was written by Mike Watkinson who also writes for Sound On Sound as well as being a certified “Logic Pro” and “Pro Tools” trainer and an “Apple Distinguished Educator”.
Mike writes “In operation the sound quality of the UCX is of the usual very high standard we have come to expect from RME. The mic preamps are clean, powerful and character-free, and the stereo imaging is stable and precise. I would have no hesitation in recommending the UCX as a high-quality recording in interface for your Mac, and the fact that it also allows multiple input recording when connected to an iPad could be the deal clincher.”

The Fireface UCX, a new member of the RME Fireface X-Series – is a highly integrated pro audio solution in an ultra-compact format for studio and live recordings. It continues RME’s long tradition of designing high-end interfaces as compact as possible, and frequently packing into a half-rack size unit what usually is spread out over two or three 19 inch panels.
In doing this the Fireface UCX marks a new space-cramping record, that’s 300 electronic components 
more than in the already well-stocked RME Fireface UC! And 50 alone are to shield the internal high-end electronic from the pulsing DSP heart. In an immensely expanded effort RME have once again shoe-horned all their latest technologies which were introduced with the award winning flagship Fireface UFX, plus a whole bunch of newly developed ones, into a half 19” housing making it the perfect partner for mobile use.
The result is an awesome combination of RME’s most successful products: Fireface UFX, Fireface UC/400 and the Babyface.
The Fireface UCX is not only a smaller version of the famous UFX, the UCX continues the legacy of RME’s tremendously successful compact interfaces such as the Fireface 400 and UC and combines it with the great usability experience of the Babyface by using one of the optional remote controls.
With the Fireface UCX, RME demonstrates once again how to reinvent an already perfect product, by improving existing features and characteristics with new sophisticated additions.
