Compact Powerhouse: RME Babyface Pro FS Portable Audio Interface

The RME Babyface Pro FS brings professional-grade sound quality and versatility to both mobile and studio recording environments. With 24 channels of input and output packed into a sleek, portable design, it’s built to deliver pristine audio wherever your projects take you.

Featuring advanced AD/DA converters and RME’s latest SteadyClock FS technology, the Babyface Pro FS offers remarkably stable clocking and ultra-low timing errors, resulting in a clean, accurate signal path. The improved preamps include a +19/+4 dBu switch, allowing you to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio for a variety of recording scenarios.

Its USB connection ensures broad compatibility and low-latency performance, while the included TotalMix FX software provides a powerful and flexible mixing and routing environment. A boosted headphone amplifier with 75mW output ensures clear monitoring, making this interface an ideal companion for both on-the-go recording and professional studio work.

Features

• +19/+4 dBu switch on the bottom adds a direct way to reduce the output level, improving SNR for sensitive active monitors, as well as avoiding distortion/overloads, and keeping TotalMix FX faders near 0 dB instead of high attenuations
• Full SteadyClock FS circuit for ultralow jitter and high jitter immunity
• 3.5 mm TRS phones output power rises from 70 mW to 90 mW
• THD of both phones outputs improved by up to 10 dB
• Uses same output opamps as ADI-2 Pro
• Output impedance of 3.5 mm TRS lowered from 2 to 0.1 ohm
• Mic inputs SNR improved from 112.2 to 113.7 dB
• TRS line inputs SNR improved from 114 to 116 dB RMS (120 dBA)
• THD line inputs improved by 8 dB
• Latency improved by six samples on the AD side by new ADC (5 samples AD, 7 samples DA)
• No increase in power consumption, despite new features
• K-slot for theft protection
