RME Fireface UCX
The Fireface UCX from RME is a versatile audio interface that can be used with USB or Firewire. On the front you'll find two combination XLR/TRS mic/line inputs, as well as two 1/4" high-z inputs for high impedance signals such as guitars. On the rear, four additional analog inputs are available on TRS connections as well as six balanced and DC coupled line outputs. Additional digital I/O comes from coaxial S/PDIF and optical S/PDIF/ADAT with both inputs and outputs.
At 44.1/48kHz, this provides 18 x 18 connectivity, while at 176.4/192kHz allows for high quality 12 x 12 connectivity. The onboard updated Hammerfall converters provide exceptional performance with precision and low noise operation. Integrated with the Fireface UCX is RME's newly revised TotalMix FX engine that provides latency free monitoring with up to nine independent stereo submixes with dedicated EQ, dynamics, and FX sends. Included with the Fireface UCX is a plug-in bundle that includes Brainworx bx_Masterdesk mastering plug-in and Scuffham's S-gear guitar amp simulator. Sitting comfortably in a half-rack space or on your desktop, this interface from RME delivers on quality and performance.
