RME Fireface UC USB Audio Interface with Two Digitally Controlled Microphone Preamps, 18-in/18-out, 24-bit/192kHz, TRS I/O, ADAT, S/PDIF, MIDI, and Word Clock

RME's Fireface UC continues the Fireface legacy, but this time trades in FireWire for USB. Using a newly developed RME Hammerfall core, the Fireface UC is capable of super-low latencies when running multi-channel audio. Two different firmware versions with different transfer methods are used, effectively removing the current restrictions of USB. I/O is plentiful, as the Fireface UC boasts two mic pres, ADAT, and S/PDIF, for a total of 18 input/output channels plus MIDI I/O. Latency is nearly non-existent on both Mac OS X and Windows Vista with the Fireface UC.

The Fireface UC works on both the Windows and Mac operating systems. It uses two different firmware versions with different transfer methods to remove current restrictions of typical USB audio interfaces.

All inputs and outputs can be freely mixed, routed, and distributed with RMEs TotalMix software. Up to 9 totally independent stereo submixes can be set up. Every output channel, and every submix channel can be recorded directly and without external cable loops. TotalMix can be completely MIDI remote controlled. The DSP-based hardware calculates RMS and Peak levels for all channels, without causing any significant CPU load.
