RME Fireface UCX II Audio Interface

RME Fireface UCX II – Professional USB Audio Interface

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

The most powerful & portable RME Audio USB Interface

This unique audio system is capable of transferring analog and digital audio data directly to Windows and Mac computers. The latest Plug and Play technology guarantees simple installation, even for the inexperienced user. Numerous unique features like a well thought-out Settings dialog and an integrated routing solution realize a quick, comfortable, and efficient operation of the Fireface UCX II.

Inputs & Outputs

The Fireface UCX II houses two mic/line preamps in XLR combo configuration on the front panel, along with two digitally controlled line/instrument inputs, followed by a headphone jack, various control buttons, a display, and the main volume knob. At the rear is a set of ten analogue balanced line inputs and outputs, MIDI I/O, ADAT I/O, AES/EBU and SPDIF I/O, USB 2.0, as well as a switchable word clock I/O.

SteadyClock FS

With the SteadyClock FS, the Fireface UCX II features the latest clock and jitter rejection technology from RME. Based on a femtosecond clock, SteadyClock FS reduces the intrinsic jitter when converting from and to analogue over all digital formats to a new all-time low.

Full Stand-alone Functionality

Control all device states directly from the front panel for convenient, direct access to all features. Four keys and the encoder, the high-resolution and clear color display, and a well thought-out menu structure enable the user to quickly change and configure the device’s settings. Additionally, internal memory allows for the permanent storage of six different states of the unit.

The Fireface UCX II is able to operate fully stand-alone, without any connected computer. In stand-alone operation, it can transform into totally different devices by the simple click of a button. Furthermore, TotalMix FX can also be controlled via MIDI.

40-Channels Ready for Your Mobile Recording Rig

DURec is an integrated digital recorder for all inputs and outputs directly to USB memory devices via the rear USB port. It allows recording on USB thumb drives or hard drives with up to 2 TB capacity. The recording functionality is provided by the internal DSP, and is therefore independent from a connected Windows or Mac computer.

The Direct USB Recording converts the Fireface UCX II into a stand-alone field recorder and a powerful multichannel live player for previous recordings, e.g., for virtual sound checks. Live concerts, band rehearsals, or spontaneous jam sessions can be directly recorded and played back from the medium—even completely stand-alone without a computer or software. All input and output channels can be individually chosen for recording and playback.

Powerful Applications for Mixing, Monitoring and Measurement

The Fireface UCX II comes with the TotalMix FX DSP mixer offering comprehensive routing and monitoring options, as well as the DIGICheck Analyzer allowing measurement and analysis of digital data in both directions with maximum precision.

TotalMix FX can completely replace an external mixer, enabling multiple latency-free monitor mixes with EQ, Dynamics, Reverb, and Delay for any outputs, including main monitors and headphone mixes for musicians.

The additional TotalMix Remote is a remote control for TotalMix FX, to control the hardware mixer and effects in RME audio interfaces. TotalMix Remote mirrors the current state of the host system on the iPad and Windows/Mac computers—the entire mixing state, the complete routing, all FX settings, up to the level meters, and everything in real-time. Adjust all mixer and FX settings from a distance via Ethernet and WiFi.

DC-Coupled Outputs – CV/Gate Voltage Control

All line-level outputs are fully DC-coupled, allowing for sending control voltages (CV) or Gate information to modular synthesizers (Eurorack, Moog, MOTM, etc.) and other studio hardware.

This is especially useful for modular synth setups where static or slow-moving signals are used for control over pitch, LFOs, or other parameters.

Class Compliant Audio

The Fireface UCX II operates in two modes: driver-based USB2 and Class Compliant. Class Compliant mode is supported natively by Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux, requiring no proprietary drivers. Features in CC mode are limited compared to the full RME driver but allow immediate plug-and-play operation.

The Fireface UCX II combines portability, advanced DSP, full routing flexibility, stand-alone operation, and CV/Gate outputs for professional studio and live applications.
