With the Fireface UCX, RME has successfully delivered another high-end pro audio interface. The Fireface UCX takes up only a half-rack space and offers 18 input and 18 output channels. It works with your computer, as a stand-alone unit, or with your iPad or iPad 2. It even offers multi-track recording directly onto your iPad.
For connectivity, the Fireface UCX affords eight analog inputs and eight analog outputs. It also supports SPDIF, ADAT, Remote, MIDI and BNC Word Clock connectivity. It connects to your computer via FireWire 400 or USB 2.0. The device supports up to 24-bit / 192 kHz recording and the interface is compatible with both Mac and Windows. The Fireface UCX features TotalMix FX software as well, which provides access to the complete effects engine of the Fireface UFX model. Plus, all effects are available at all sample rates. For added convenience, RME offers a Monitoring Controller that combines the impressive flexibility of the TotalMix FX monitoring tool set and the RME Remote Control. Additionally, the Fireface UCX can operate fully stand-alone and continues the tradition of RME's tremendously successful compact interfaces.
