RME Fireface UCX II

Description

Key Information About the RME Fireface UCX II Audio Interface

  • High-end 24-bit/192 kHz conversion and SteadyClock FS clock for ultra-low jitter and exceptional stability.
  • 20 analog and digital I/O channels in a compact half-rack chassis, USB 2.0 and ?class compliant? mode.
  • Built-in standalone DURec recorder: direct multichannel capture to USB storage up to 2 TB.
  • TotalMix and DigiCheck software, DC-coupled outputs for CV/Gate, color display, and front panel control.

A New Generation Upholding RME?s DNA

With the Fireface UCX II, RME condenses the Fireface expertise into a 9.5-inch/1U format designed for mobile rigs and demanding studios. This version modernizes the legendary UCX with SteadyClock FS, a color display, integrated DURec, and DC-coupled outputs, while maintaining the reliability, low latency, and routing flexibility that have made the brand renowned.

Designed for Studio, Stage, and Mobile Creation

Producers, sound engineers, touring musicians, podcasters, and content creators will benefit from a robust interface ready for multitrack recording, reamping, live performance, and broadcast. The ADAT expansion facilitates adding external preamps, Word Clock ensures professional integration, and the ?class compliant? mode opens the door to lightweight setups with tablets.

Key Features for a Modern Workflow

Conversion and Clock

The 24-bit/192 kHz converters combined with SteadyClock FS minimize jitter at the source to preserve transients, stereo image, and depth. The result is reliable monitoring and consistent recordings, even when synchronized to external digital sources.

Connectivity and Routing

On the front panel, two mic/line preamps on XLR combo connectors and two digitally controlled line/instrument inputs cover vocals, DI, and synths. At the rear, a set of ten balanced line I/Os plus ADAT, AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and Word Clock integrate into any ecosystem. TotalMix enables matrix routing and independent monitor mixes in an instant.

Standalone DURec Recording

DURec directly captures all inputs and outputs to a USB stick or external drive without a computer. Ideal for stage, rehearsals, ambient recording, or session backup in the studio, supporting storage up to 2 TB.

Monitoring and Control

The color display simplifies navigation, level monitoring, and main volume control. The dedicated headphone output ensures precise monitoring, while compatibility with the optional ARC USB remote control offers quick operation in the control room. DC-coupled outputs allow control of modular systems via CV/Gate.
