Description

RME Fireface UFX+ 188-Channel USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt Audio Interface

The Fireface UFX+ becomes the center of any multitrack studio because it is able to handle up to 94 channels I/O with ease. With unprecedented flexibility, compatibility, the inclusion of DURec (Direct USB Recording) and RME’s famous low latency hardware and driver designs, the Fireface UFX+ raises the bar to new heights. Packed with features not found on its older sibling, including MADI I/O (188 channels of I/O, 128 channels more than the Fireface UFX), a more powerful DSP, USB 3.0, Thunderbolt TM technology, and a new optional remote control firmly places the RME Fireface UFX+ as the new reference in multitrack recording, mixing and monitoring

Features:

Comprehensive MADI connectivity
In USB 2 mode, which is limited to 30 channels I/O (12 analog plus 16 ADAT plus AES), the MADI I/O is still available via RME's TotalMix FX digital mixer
Wordclock I/O (BNC) can be switched to MADI I/O (coaxial), and a special split mode supports the use of both MADI I/Os simultaneously, with 32 channel each on optical and coaxial
DURec, available on the front of the interface, offers second generation hardware with improved USB functionality and compatibility, providing greater reliability even with slower or multi-partitioned USB thumb drives
The maximum number of recordable channels has been raised to 76, meaning all 12 analog inputs plus 64 MADI channels can be recorded simultaneously
An internal Realtime Clock (RTC) delivers time-stamped files
TotalMix provides unlimited routing and mixing to the interface, with the capability to create as many independent submixes as output channels are available, and includes a complete effects system
TotalMix FX for iPad (available separately) adds full control over the mixer and DSP effects
