A Hardware Extension Designed for the TotalMix FX Ecosystem
Designed to integrate seamlessly with RME audio interfaces and the TotalMix FX environment, the ARC USB provides immediate physical control over mixing, routing, and DSP processing functions. With the Fireface UFX Plus and UFX II, compatibility is direct, and with other RME devices compatible with TotalMix FX, control is managed via the computer.
Who It's For and Studio Use Cases
The ARC USB is aimed at sound engineers, producers, and musicians who want to increase responsiveness during recording, headphone mixing, or monitor adjustments. Whether in a home studio or control room, it facilitates quick adjustments (parameter changes, navigation, function recall) while keeping hands on dedicated controls.
