Fireface UFX. I recently bought the Fireface UFX and I'm really liking it. But I am unable to use the front panel inputs with a TRS/Instrument cable as once I've plugged it in I can't seem to get it out. It's very firmly stuck, I've had no problems with XLR cables, and I've tried with and without the button down, wiggling the cable and pulling it straight.

RME Fireface UFX

RME have established a solid pedigree for their extensive range of digital interfaces. Their latest model offers powerful functionality, and promises an unexpected extra for the future..

The UFX has been designed to serve not only as a very flexible audio interface, with comprehensive input selection, onboard signal processing, but also as a versatile monitor controller and headphone amp. It even has talkback switching and routing facilities built in, using any nominated inputs as talkback and listenback mic sources. There are a total of 30 inputs and another 30 outputs (12 analogue and 18 digital at standard sample rates), plus two independent MIDI ports. It has four digitally controlled mic preamps derived from the high‑end Micstasy, and a high‑quality, dual‑paralleled, A‑D converter topology to provide up to 192kHz operation with excellent dynamic range and distortion figures. Unusually, the UFX can be hooked up to a computer using USB2 or Firewire 400 — the USB implementation is claimed to be compatible with USB 3 interfaces, and the Firewire port can be used with Firewire 800 interfaces via a standard converter cable. The Firewire interface is actually driven from an RME‑designed FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) rather than a standard Firewire chip, too, to ensure maximum compatibility with all Firewire interfaces — even the often problematic Agere chips! RME's own reliable and ultra low-latency drivers and the SteadyClock active jitter-suppression technology complete the headlines.

RME's impressive Digi Check metering and analysis toolbox software is also included, along with the new TotalMix FX application, a 42‑bit digital mixer and signal router. Powered by two onboard DSPs (to reduce the load on the host computer), this provides a three‑band EQ plus high‑pass filter, full dynamics, and M/S processing on every physical input and output, plus reverb effects. ASIO Direct Monitoring is also supported, of course, and all of these features can be controlled directly from the UFX's own display screen, if required, allowing stand‑alone operation. A planned future firmware upgrade will also enable direct recording to a USB memory stick or hard drive. All in all, then, this looks to be a very cleverly designed, and well thought-out new product!

Guided Tour

Packed into the box along with the smart, 1U, rackmounting UFX (the rack ears are removable) are USB 2 and FW400 cables (1.8 and 4 metres long, respectively). There's also one Toslink optical cable (2m), a mains cable, a driver CD and a substantial manual. Thankfully, the manual isn't quite as scary as it looks, because it's bi-lingual (German from one end and English from the other), and includes separate sections for Mac and PC software installations. It's still a meaty read, but well written and (mostly) understandable. The UFX ships with drivers for Windows XP, Vista and 7, as well as Mac OS X, with updates available on the company's web site.

If there were a prize for squeezing the most inputs and outputs into a 1U rack device, RME would certainly be in the running..

The rear panel of the UFX is pretty busy, hosting eight balanced line inputs on quarter‑inch TRS sockets, plus eight balanced line outs. The first pair of these is via XLRs, with the rest on more TRS sockets. Another pair of XLRs handle AES3 digital audio I/O, and two sets of ADAT lightpipe are included. S/MUX2 and S/MUX4 ADAT modes are supported, allowing four channels at 96kHz and two channels at 192kHz.

Word clock I/O is provided on BNCs, the input having a switchable 75Ω termination, and USB 2 and FW400 sockets provide connections to a host computer. A mini‑DIN socket caters for an optional remote (the same one used with RME's own high-end ADI-8 QS preamp and A-D converter), providing Volume, Dim, Store and Recall functions. A pair of MIDI sockets and an IEC mains inlet (for a universal power supply accepting voltages between 100V and 240V AC) complete the rear-panel facilities.

The powder-blue painted front panel with white control legends carries four 'combi' XLR‑jack inputs for mic and Hi‑Z instrument/line inputs (channels 9‑12), with LEDs to indicate signal present, phantom power activated, and TRS input mode. A pair of TRS sockets provides unbalanced stereo headphone outputs (channels 9&10 and 11&12), while a second set of MIDI I/O sockets occupies the centre of the panel, along with a USB socket. Although not active in the current firmware, this socket is intended to accommodate a memory stick or hard drive to allow direct recording and playback functions potentially making the UFX very attractive as a mobile recording device!

An array of 10 LEDs indicate the unit's operating state, with sync status for each digital input (word clock, AES3, ADAT 1 and 2, USB and Firewire) denoted by green LEDs and MIDI activity by a yellow one. The operational controls at the right‑hand side comprise one large and two small rotary encoder knobs, four function buttons, and a small but high-resolution colour display. All three encoders have 'press switch' functions, and a rocker switch powers the unit.

The Fireface UFX is very easy to set up. After connecting it to the computer (I tested both interfaces, but mainly used USB2), the appropriate driver is located automatically from the supplied CD‑ROM and quickly loaded. If required, the TotalMix FX and Digi Check software (see box, left) can be loaded too, and there is a flash update program that can be installed to load new firmware editions. I upgraded the review unit from Firmware version 333 to the current 338.
