RME BABYFACE PRO FS

USB Audio Interface 24 I/O Channels - 192 kHz including USB-C cable The brand new Babyface Pro demonstrates once again the very high level of construction quality of the RME brand, a world leader in the creation of professional audio devices strictly Made in Germany. Made of a single solid aluminum block, this portable professional audio interface integrates completely redesigned analog and digital circuits and new energy saving technologies that guarantee an optimal quality level in all conditions.

The first difference that is immediately evident compared to the previous version of Babyface (now discontinued) is the 'on board' equipment of all the main connections, without the need for an external breakout cable that is not always practical and functional. For the main inputs and outputs, RME has designed a new XLR socket that integrates perfectly into the chassis, allowing good space savings. The two headphone outputs, one with a mini jack connector and one TRS in parallel, guarantee an optimal signal level for every situation, regardless of the headphone used.

The two onboard preamplifiers with digital control provide individually selectable 48V phantom power: these brand new circuits offer a gain of up to 70 dB, adjustable in 3 dB steps, with also a relay-based PAD that guarantees an exceptional level of EIN (Equivalent Input Noise), as well as overload protection and optimal gain even for microphones with low levels.

The extremely careful design of the Babyface Pro allows you to work without the need for external power in practically any situation. The interface is perfectly stable with a USB 3 bus power supply, but also with most USB 2 connections, without any loss in performance. This makes the Babyface Pro the ideal solution for mobile recording, perfect on any occasion with a pair of condenser microphones.

The wide range of connections also includes TOSLINK optical input and output that can be used as an ADAT port with SMUX support or as SPDIF for sessions up to 192 kHz. With an external ADAT converter, the Babyface Pro is able to manage 12 analog inputs and 12 outputs, making it a perfect device for multi-track studio and live recordings. To the 3 & 4 jack inputs it is possible to connect instrument, line or high impedance signals, thus being able to record, for example, a guitar 'on the fly' without the need for other hardware. The equipment includes a MIDI input and output via a special adapter cable.

Of course, Babyface Pro also comes with RME's TotalMix FX software, available for Windows, Mac OS X and iOS. The TotalMix FX allows you to insert EQ, reverb and delay on all input and output channels up to 192 kHz. The Control Room section adds to the flexibility of routing a series of advanced monitoring functions that greatly simplify studio work.
