RME Fireface UFX III

The Fireface UFX III is the center of any multitrack studio, handling up to 94 channels I/O with ease. Its unprecedented flexibility, compatibility, the inclusion of DURec (Direct USB Recording) and RME’s famous low latency hardware and driver designs guarantee flawless operation in any mode and application.

Packed with professional features, including SteadyClock FS, MADI I/O (64 channels), a powerful DSP, USB 3.0 (full 94 channel I/O Class Compliant ready), TotalMix FX, Direct USB Recording, and support for the Advanced Remote-Control USB (available separately), the Fireface UFX III is the professional’s preferred tool for multitrack recording, mixing and mastering.

The Fireface UFX III is based on a newly developed analogue and digital board. While the analogue board offers, for example, DC-coupled analogue outputs as well as new AD and DA converters with improved THD+N value, the digital board also enables interesting new features thanks to updated high-tech components.

Key Features:

• Front I/O:
  On the front there’s 4 audio inputs and a set of MIDI I/O, this is perfect if you’re switching out components of your studio, maybe you have a synth or drum machine you don’t use all the time and this gives you easy and direct access without having to look behind the unit.
• DC-Coupled Outputs:
  All of the Line-level outputs can be used as CV/Gate voltage information for modular synthesizers and other studio hardware.
• Virtual Mixer:
  The Fireface UFX III comes with the TotalMix FX DSP mixer offering comprehensive routing and monitoring options, as well as the DIGICheck Analyzer allowing to measure and analyse the digital data feed in both directions with maximum precision. TotalMix FX can completely replace an external mixer, enabling the creation of multiple latency-free monitor mixes with EQ, Dynamics, Reverb and Delay for any outputs, incl. main monitors and headphone mixes for musicians.
