Fireface UFX III Overview

  RME Fireface UFX III front and rear view

Flagship 188-Channel USB 3.0 Audio Interface with MADI, SteadyClock FS, and DURec

The RME Fireface UFX III delivers 94 inputs and 94 outputs of reference-grade 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion, combining immense I/O capacity with the precision and reliability demanded by top-tier studios, live engineers, and broadcast facilities. Four high-gain mic/line/Hi-Z preamps, extensive analog line I/O, and comprehensive digital connectivity—including MADI, dual ADAT, AES3, and Word Clock—make it the ultimate hub for large-scale, hybrid production workflows. SteadyClock FS technology ensures ultra-low jitter and pristine imaging across all channels, whether working in stereo, surround, or immersive formats like Dolby Atmos.

Massive Hybrid Routing and Standalone Power

USB 3.0 connectivity with full Class Compliant support for macOS, Windows, and iOS enables seamless integration into modern DAW environments, while MADI I/O offers full 64-channel support for expansive networking and remote recording setups. Dual ADAT, AES3, and MIDI provide additional expansion and sync flexibility. RME’s TotalMix FX DSP delivers zero-latency monitoring, EQ, dynamics, and reverb/delay effects on every channel, while DURec enables direct-to-USB multitrack recording without a computer—perfect for redundancy in live shows or off-grid production. Standalone operation with preset recall ensures the UFX III remains fully functional in any environment.

Room EQ support enables precise monitoring calibration for immersive mixing, while DIGICheck analysis tools provide detailed metering and diagnostics. With unmatched channel counts, rock-solid drivers, and a future-proof feature set, the UFX III serves as a complete command center for any professional audio setup.
