The quality sound and flexible IO you need

Throughout the industry, RME is known for their top-notch converters and amazing analog sound quality - and the Fireface UCX is no exception! Its updated Hammerfall converters are second to none, and you'll love tracking with its extremely clear microphone preamplifiers and extensive IO. But the Fireface UCX offers you a different kind of flexibility as well. This hybrid interface gives you both FireWire 400 and USB connections, including support for high-speed USB 3. What's more, you can even hook it up to your iPad 2 via the Camera Connection Kit - giving you the ultimate on-the-go pro-caliber recording rig!

TotalMix FX DSP provides latency-free processing, monitoring, and effects

The Fireface UCX comes loaded with a whole new version of RME's TotalMix FX engine. This dual-DSP system uses one DSP chip for monitor mixing, leaving the other free for latency-free effects and processing. The routing side of TotalMix FX gives you a fully flexible 18 x 18 monitor mixer with up to nine independent stereo submixes. Each of the Fireface UCX's channels feature dedicated EQ and dynamics, plus reverb and delay processing. That means you can track with the effects and processing you need, without ever having to worry about latency or your computer's processing power.

Supplies a host of value-packed extras

The RME Fireface UCX includes a premium plug-in bundle that's sure to jumpstart your creativity. Scuffham's S-Gear is a top-shelf, ultra-flexible guitar amp simulator that was created by a former product designer from a certain legendary British amplifier company. Brainworx bx_opto yields classic optical-style compression with a streamlined interface, while bx_masterdesk reproduces the sound of a high-end analog mastering system.
