Description

Essential Information About the RME Fireface UCX II Audio Interface

  • 24-bit/192 kHz conversion and SteadyClock FS clock for controlled jitter and reliable monitoring.
  • 20 analog and digital I/O channels in a 9.5" half-rack chassis with USB 2.0 and "class compliant" mode.
  • Built-in standalone DURec recorder: direct multichannel capture to USB storage up to 2 TB.
  • TotalMix, DigiCheck, DC-coupled outputs for CV/Gate, color display, and front panel control.

The New UCX II, Heir to the Fireface DNA

With the Fireface UCX II, RME condenses the expertise of the Fireface series into a 1U half-rack format designed for mobility. This generation modernizes the iconic UCX with SteadyClock FS, a color display, integrated DURec recorder, and DC-coupled outputs, while maintaining the reliability, low latency, and flexible routing that the brand is known for.

For Studio, Stage, and Mobile Creation

Producers, engineers, touring musicians, podcasters, and content creators benefit from a robust interface ready for multitrack recording, reamping, live performance, and broadcast. The ADAT expansion simplifies adding external preamps, Word Clock secures the studio clock, and the "class compliant" mode enables lightweight setups with tablets.

Features Tailored for a Modern Workflow

Conversion and Clock

The 24-bit/192 kHz converters, driven by SteadyClock FS, minimize jitter to preserve transients, stereo image, and depth. Synchronization to external digital sources remains stable, ensuring consistent takes and trustworthy monitoring.

Connectivity and Routing

On the front panel, two combo mic/line inputs with +48 V phantom power and two instrument/line inputs with digital control cover vocals, DI, and synths. At the rear, a set of balanced line I/Os, ADAT, AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and Word Clock integrate into any ecosystem. TotalMix offers powerful matrix routing and independent monitor mixes, while the DC-coupled outputs drive modular systems via CV/Gate.

Standalone DURec Recording

DURec enables direct recording of all inputs and outputs to USB sticks or external drives without a computer. Ideal for stage, rehearsals, field recording, or immediate session backup, supporting storage up to 2 TB.

Monitoring and Control

The color display facilitates navigation and level visualization, the dedicated headphone output ensures precise control, and compatibility with the optional ARC USB remote speeds up operations in the control room.
