The Fireface UCX II is a highly integrated pro-audio solution in an ultracompact format for studio and live recordings. It continues RME's long tradition of designing advanced compact interfaces, packing into a half-rack size unit what usually would be spread outover two or three 19" panels.

 

With up to 20 channels for recording and playback, SteadyClock FS, high-performance microphone inputs, parametric EQ, dynamics processing, echo, reverb, DURec (Direct USB Recording), MIDI I/O, a powerful headphone output, and full standalone operation, the Fireface UCX II excels with RME's highest feature-to-space ratio ever.

• The Fireface UCX II comes with the TotalMix FX DSP mixer offering comprehensive routing and monitoring options, as well as the DIGICheck Analyzer allowing to measure and analyze the digital data feed in both directions with maximum precision.
• The integration of Room EQ adds room calibration to the RME eco-system, making your Fireface perfect for Immersive audio setups including Dolby ATMOS. Room EQ consists of nine bands of fully parametric EQ, individual output delay, and volume calibration. Users can freely assign up to twenty 20 Room EQs at once to any output(s) they wish including stereo, headphone, and digital outputs for maximum flexibility. Settings can be input manually or imported using tools like Sonarworks or Room EQ Wizard.
• Also added is a feature called Binaural Crossed. This functionality provides speaker emulation in headphones-perfect for mixing stereo or ATMOS in headphones. The Crossfeed function emulates speaker behavior in terms of channel separation, so the extremely wide ambience experienced in headphones can be set in 5 stages.

• Full standalone operation, no computer required
• DURec-integrated digital recorder allows you to record directly to USB memory devices
• All channels (20 inputs and 20 outputs) can be individually chosen for recording and playback
• CV/gate low-latency voltage control for automating synthesizers, mixing consoles, and effects
