General
You read right! The former RME flagship, the Fireface UFX, has been replaced by the Fireface UFX+! This game-changer is fitted with a Thunderbolt port for ultra-fast data transfer, removing any chance of latency. Besides this, you'll also find a super-fast USB 3.0 port and DURec functionality which allows you to record directly onto USB media. The UFX+ can function perfectly as a stand-alone interface and has full MADI support, enabling you to record no fewer than 188 channels of inputs and outputs at the same time. RME has just raised the bar!
Limitless Connection Options
The list of standard connection options in the UFX+ is in a word, impressive. It features connectors for analogue instruments as well as ADAT, MADI, AES, SPDIF, USB 2, USB 3 and Thunderbolt. The result is that you can utilise the 12 analogue and over 16 ADAT + 2 AES + 64 MADI channels for a grand total of 94 channels! And, these are only inputs! Add the number of output channels to that, and you'll end up with 188 channels to be used simultaneously, with zero latency! The additional Thunderbolt functionality contribute to the reduction of CPU capacity and latency. What's more, the UFX+ with Thunderbolt is also compatible with Windows.
Improved AD/DA Converters and DURec
As if all this wasn't enough, the AD/DA converters have also been enhanced for an even more accurate conversion rate. This goes for the analogue I/O circuits as well, which have also been upgraded. To top it all off, the signal-to-noise ratio has been optimised and the THD values guarantee transparent, clear audio without a hint of noise or distortion. DURec, located on the front of the UFX+, contains a whole new generation of hardware, allowing it improved USB functionality and better compatibility with slower (older generation) USB sticks. The maximum number of channels you can use for recording has been increased to 76; in other words, 12 analogue inputs plus 64 MADI channels at once. Finally, the playback options of this RME UFX+ have been given a few more advanced functions also.

Le son est vraiment là avec des préamp dune grande finesse. Latence réduite on peut jouer monitoré sans gène.
Lensemble est robuste et linterface Totalmix est vraiment optimisée et très complète.
Attention cest du port thunderbolt 2 et non 3, il faudra penser à acheter un adaptateur (assez couteux) si vous êtes en thunderbolt 3 (Usb C). Je suis sur pcportable windows 10 (dell) et cest parfait....
Livré en 2 jours en point relais.
Premier achat chez Baxmusic, je recommande.
Stabiele drivers. Fantastisch lage latency in roundtrip met je DAW-computer.
Glasheldere en transparante audio.
Deze Fireface UFX + audio interface laat vooral veel emotie en alle details horen in je muziek.
Overschakelen naar deze RME is een zo ingrijpende verbetering dat je er alleen stil van kan worden...!

Thursday 7 January 2016 By Richard | Bax MusicThese days, films can be recorded entirely on smartphones, and some YouTubers are more famous than television presenters. The gap between professionals and amateurs is becoming smaller. Cameras on today's smartphones offer excellent image quality that is getting harder and harder to distinguish from 'the real thing'. Sound quality on smartphones, on the other hand, is an area that is still in need of some improvement. That's where the iKlip A/V from IK Multimedia comes in. It's a broadcast mount with an integrated microphone preamp that will add professional-quality sound to your smartphone footage.
