This is the second review from a major pro audio publication, with the UFX+ previously awarded a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/2017\/01\/26\/rme-fireface-ufx-plus-musictech-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"RME Fireface UFX+ review by MusicTech\">10 out of 10 from MusicTech<\/a> in January earlier this year.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The review covers a broad range of topics, from the vast amount of I\/O options to the routing and mixing flexibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/rme-technologies\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"RME Technologies at Synthax.co.uk\">TotalMix FX<\/a>. Reviewer Sam Inglis explains &quot;the new flagship of RME&rsquo;s range exemplifies all the qualities we&rsquo;ve come to expect from the German manufacturers: excellent low-latency performance, pristine sound quality and immensely flexible built-in mixing and processing&quot;.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t&quot;RME have always treated their customers as intelligent adults<br \/>\n\twho need to get things done, not as consumers buying into a brand economy&quot;<br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">With the UFX+, RME decided for the first time to feature both Thunderbolt and USB 3 technology. Having developed their own in-house USB technologies, RME have long been ahead of the curve when it comes to performance, with SOS also picking up on the fact that RME&#39;s USB technology can easily match Thunderbolt in terms of latency. &quot;Once again, RME have taken it upon themselves to show that the fault does not lie with the protocol, but with the implementation. As a result, what&rsquo;s really impressive about the UFX+ is not so much that it performs well when connected via Thunderbolt, because so do most Thunderbolt interfaces. It&rsquo;s that it can match this performance when connected via USB 3.&rdquo;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Of course, RME&#39;s industry-leading drivers were also a talking point. &quot;Whereas other manufacturers have allowed themselves to become dependent on third-party driver code, sometimes with unfortunate consequences for latency and stability, RME have always focussed on coding their own rock-solid and lightning-fast drivers.&quot;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">To finish off the review, SOS noted that an RME device really is an investment, with the company&#39;s track record of providing unsurpassed longevity and reliability. &ldquo;There used to be a saying in the world of business computing that no-one ever got fired for buying IBM. In the world of music computing, that role falls to RME, and the UFX+ is about as safe a bet you can make.&rdquo;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/products_fireface_ufx-plus_2b.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"RME Fireface UFX+ - front-back-angle - Synthax Audio UK\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4989\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/products_fireface_ufx-plus_2b.jpg\" width=\"650\" \/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<h3>\n\tFuture-Proof your music production with the RME Fireface UFX+<br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/rme\/madi-aes\/rme-fireface-ufx-plus\/\" title=\"RME Fireface UFX+ product details\">RME Fireface UFX+<\/a> is RME&#39;s new flagship audio interface, designed to be a powerful central hub for&nbsp;any modern recording studio or audio installation.
