Mobile Pro Audio Bundle

The RME Fireface UCX II pairs with the Ferrofish Pulse8 AE to create a compact 20x20 USB audio and MIDI interface bundle suited for musicians, content creators, and engineers who need professional I/O in a desktop form factor. It delivers full standalone operation so sessions can run without a computer connected.

20 Channels at 24-bit/192 kHz

The single specification that decides fit is the 20 simultaneous inputs and 20 outputs running at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz resolution over USB 2.0 and ADAT. SteadyClock FS reference clocking ensures low-jitter conversion across every channel for recording and playback.

Integrated Recording and Remote Control

DURec lets you capture all channels directly to USB memory devices without a DAW, while TotalMix FX for iPad and the optional ARC USB remote provide hardware-style mixing control. CV/gate outputs automate synths and effects, and DIGICheck adds measurement front-end capability for development work.
