USB Audio Interface up to 192 kHz, 20 In/Out: 8 x Analog I/O, 2 x Digitally Controlled Mic/Inst Preamps, 2 x Line/Inst. In, ADAT I/O, SPDIF and AES/EBU I/O, Word Clock and MIDI I/O, RME presents the Fireface UCX II, a new version of one of its most successful projects ever, the Fireface UCX. With 40 I/O channels and a wide range of possible applications, the Fireface UCX II is the most valid and reliable compact professional audio interface in half-rack format on the market. The new RME product is also presented on the occasion of the company's twenty-fifth anniversary: 25 years of innovation for the German brand, all clearly evident in this new extremely flexible interface for use in the studio and in live performance. The main features of the FireFace UCX II are the 20 recording channels and 20 playback channels, the SteadyClock FS technology, the integrated parametric EQ, the possibility of recording directly on USB thanks to digital DuRec technology (Direct USB Recording), the stand-alone functionality: Currently, no other half-rack audio interface offers more connectivity and functionality. The Fireface UCX II integrates two mic/line preamplifiers in XLR combo format on the front panel, together with two digitally controlled line/instrument inputs, a headphone jack, various control buttons, a display and the main volume potentiometer. On the back there is a set of ten balanced line inputs and outputs, MIDI, ADAT, AES/EBU and SPDIF inputs and outputs, a USB 2.0 connection is a switchable Word Clock I/O. Thanks to the digital DuRec (Direct USB Recording) functionality, any input or output of the Fireface UCX II can be recorded directly on a USB storage device. DuRec uses integrated DSPs that allow it to operate in stand-alone without the need to use a computer. Potential applications in this mode include field-recording, live recordings and rehearsals, or playback of recordings for a virtual soundcheck. With the SteadyClock FS, the Fireface UCX II implements the most up-to-date RME technology in terms of clocking. Based on an extremely detailed clock, the SteadyClock FS reduces the jitter of AD and DA conversion to all digital formats to new lows. The Fireface UCX II comes with the TotalMix FX DSP software mixer that offers many routing and monitoring possibilities, as well as the DigiCheck analyzer that allows you to measure and analyze the digital data provided in both directions with maximum precision.
