RME Fireface UFX+ Now Shipping - Synthax Audio UKRME's groundbreaking new audio interface is now available.

The RME Fireface UFX+ is RME's new flagship audio interface, designed to be a powerful central hub for any modern recording studio or audio installation. With a whopping 188 channels of I/O, Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 connectivity, plus new features like the advanced DURec function, the UFX+ gives you more options than ever before from a device of this class. Combined with RME’s industry-renowned low-latency drivers, the UFX+ is a rock-solid audio solution that will form the perfect centrepiece for live, studio and broadcast applications.

The original RME Fireface UFX was released in 2010, and can be found at the heart of the studios and touring rigs of a long list of world-famous producers, engineers and musicians. The Fireface UFX+ continues this legacy by raising the bar once again, with redesigned preamps and a vastly increased channel-count, delivering an unprecedented level of functionality and flexibility that will appeal to professionals working throughout the audio industry.

Along with forming the basis of a cutting-edge studio setup, the Fireface UFX+ also lends itself to several other potential applications. The DURec function enables the UFX+ to be used as a standalone multi-track HD Recorder and playback device, and with RME's included TotalMix FX software, the UFX+ can act as a a digital mixing console, an extensive monitor controller and a highly flexible routing matrix. And of course, the UFX+ delivers the sound quality and performance that's characterstic of an RME device – accurate, transparent audio combined with unrivalled reliability and performance.

Choose your platform – USB 3.0 & Thunderbolt, for both Windows and Mac OSX

The Fireface UFX+ is RME’s first audio interface to feature both USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt connectivity, with cross-platform support allowing you to make the choice of which operating system you want to work with. The UFX+ provides incredible performance on both Windows and Mac OSX based systems, allowing you to freely switch between operating systems, and can even be used with an Apple iPad when running in Class Compliant mode. And with Thunderbolt technology, the UFX+ gives you PCI Express performance capabilities over a cable, with incredibly low latencies, system overheads and CPU loads.

 

Direct USB Recording, Advanced Remote Control and TotalMix FX

Other new features include the advanced DURec feature, which allows for time-stamped multi-track recording straight to an external hard drive via USB, and the new Advanced Remote Control USB (coming soon). The ARC USB provides quick access to a wide range of freely assignable control options, and can be connected to your computer’s USB port, or straight to the UFX+ itself for standalone operation.

The RME Fireface UFX+ also includes RME’s versatile Totalmix FX, RME's DSP-based mixer that allows for fully independent routing and mixing of all input and playback channels to all physical outputs. Each channel also features latency-free EQ, reverb/delay and dynamics for applying effects when monitoring. Completely independent stereo submixes can be created and routed to any output, providing unrivalled monitoring capabilities and routing flexibility from an audio interface, making the RME Fireface UFX+ the perfect choice for live, studio and broadcast applications.

UK customers can also benefit from a 5 year warranty, which is included as standard on all RME products when purchased from Synthax Audio UK or from an authorised UK dealer.
