RME Babyface Pro FS 24-Channel 192kHz USB Audio Interface Bundle with Ferrofish Pulse8 AE 8x8 AD/DA Converter

Portable 24-Channel 192kHz Interface

The RME Babyface Pro FS is a bus-powered USB audio interface that delivers 24 channels at up to 192 kHz. It is built from a precision-machined aluminium block and includes two digitally controlled preamps with 76 dB gain range in 1 dB steps and switchable 48 V phantom power. The bundle adds a Ferrofish Pulse8 AE 8x8 AD/DA converter connected via ADAT for expanded I/O.

For Mobile Recording and Fixed Studios

This suits engineers who need a compact, high-fidelity front end for location work or a permanent desk setup. The SteadyClock FS circuit provides low jitter and high jitter immunity, while the +19/+4 dBu output switch helps keep TotalMix FX faders near unity with sensitive monitors. Buyers requiring more than eight analogue inputs without adding external converters should look elsewhere.

Build Integration and Expandability

The interface draws power from the USB bus, freeing a mains socket and simplifying mobile rigs. Two independent headphone outputs — 3.5 mm TRS and 6.3 mm TRS — each have dedicated driver stages; the 3.5 mm jack now delivers 90 mW with 0.1 Ohm output impedance. ADAT I/O on the Babyface and the Pulse8 AE allows the eight converter channels to be added without using extra USB ports.
