The Fireface UFX II combines flexible recording and playback operation with RME&rsquo;s industry-renowned low-latency hardware and drivers. RME&rsquo;s unique DURec (Direct USB Recording) function and TotalMix FX mixing and routing software deliver a comprehensive set of features that will appeal to both professional recording engineers and high-end home studio users.&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">With 60 channels of audio (30 inputs and 30 outputs) and support for sample rates up to 192 kHz, the new Fireface UFX II is the ideal audio solution for a variety of professional audio applications such as recording, mixing, monitoring and live performance.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Offering excellent flexibility and compatibility, the Fireface UFX II will fit seamlessly into any production environment as the central hub to a studio or live rig, or as part of a larger setup. The analogue and digital connectivity includes 12 analogue inputs and 12 analogue outputs; 2x ADAT I\/O for expanding the Fireface UFX II&rsquo;s analogue I\/O up to a further 16 channels; 2 channels of AES or SPDIF, plus WordClock on BNC connections. All channels can be used for recording and playback simultaneously.&nbsp;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Having developed their own in-house USB technology, RME&rsquo;s use of the USB 2.0 connection allows the Fireface UFX II to be connected to a wide range of devices, including PC, Mac and Linux-based systems. This assures the incredibly low-latencies that RME has achieved with their existing range of audio interfaces. Further, the new Fireface UFX II can integrate with RME&rsquo;s optional ARC (Advanced Remote Control) USB remote controller.<\/span><br \/>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RME_UFX_II_Front_Back-1200.jpg\" rel=\"\" style=\"\" target=\"\" title=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"RME Fireface UFX II Fron &amp; Back Panel - Synthax Audio UK\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6279\" height=\"149\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RME_UFX_II_Front_Back-1200-1024x213.jpg\" style=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RME_UFX_II_Front_Back-1200-1024x213.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RME_UFX_II_Front_Back-1200-300x63.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RME_UFX_II_Front_Back-1200-768x160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RME_UFX_II_Front_Back-1200.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The RME Fireface UFX II features the German manufacturer&rsquo;s latest high-end AD\/DA converters, optimised analogue I\/O circuits and improved SNR and THD values, guaranteeing pristine, crystal clear and transparent audio. The newly designed PAD-free mic circuit design, with +18 dBu maximum input level and 75 dB gain range, delivers trouble-free operation for the most demanding of recording situations. The high-power onboard headphone outputs (2 Ohms) feature +19 dBu maximum output level, providing ample output power and volume to both high and low impedance headphones.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The RME Fireface UFX II also features RME&rsquo;s unique DURec (Direct USB Recording) function via the USB port on the front of the interface,&nbsp;allowing for&nbsp;recording and playback of all inputs and outputs directly to USB memory devices such as USB thumb drives or hard drives.&nbsp;This second generation hardware offers improved functionality and compatibility&nbsp;whilst providing greater reliability than ever before, even with slower or multi-partitioned USB hard drives.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Christian Latzelsberger, Vice President of Sales at Audio AG and distributor for RME in Germany, shared his perspective on the new Fireface UFX II:<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><em>&ldquo;The new RME Fireface UFX II delivers the overwhelming majority of the features found on RME&rsquo;s flagship Fireface UFX+, but does so at a price point that enables more audio professionals than ever to take advantage of its state-of-the-art features and capabilities. With 60 channels of I\/O capability, RME&rsquo;s acclaimed DURec USB record capability, Word Clock, and the ability to use RME&rsquo;s integrated hardware mixer TotalMix FX, the Fireface UFX II delivers a great feature set in a compact 1RU form factor. I&rsquo;m confident it will be very well received by studio professionals everywhere.&rdquo;<\/em><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The RME Fireface UFX II audio interface is expected to be available from Q1 2017.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/rme\/firewire-usb\/rme-fireface-ufx-ii\/\" title=\"RME Fireface UFX II more details\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Find out more about the RME Fireface UFX II<\/span><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/contact-us\/\" title=\"Contact Synthax Audio UK\">Contact us for more information on the&nbsp;RME Fireface UFX II<\/a><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RME have announced the launch of the new Fireface UFX II audio interface, which will be shown first at NAMM &lsquo;17 in California next week.
