he Fireface UCX, a new member of the RME Fireface X-Series, is a highly integrated pro audio
solution in an ultra-compact format for studio and live recordings. It continues RME’s long
tradition of designing compact high-end interfaces, packing into a half-rack size unit what usually
would be spread out over two or three 19 inch panels.
In doing this the Fireface UCX marks a new packing record: 300 electronic components more than inside the
already well-stocked Fireface UC! In a tremendous effort RME packed once again all the latest technologies,
introduced with the award winning flagship UFX, plus a bunch of newly developed ones, into a half 19 inch
housing with full mobile usability.
The result is an awesome combination of RME’s most successful products:
Fireface UFX . Firefaces UC/400 . Babyface.
The Fireface UCX is not just a smaller version of the smash hit UFX. It continues the tradition of RME’s
tremendously successful compact interfaces and combines it with the great usability experience of the
Babyface through the optional remote.
With the Fireface UCX RME reinvent an already perfect product, by improving existing features and
characteristics plus adding sophisticated new ones.
