RME / Fireface UFX II

RME's flagship audio interface, UFX, has been upgraded in terms of sound quality and performance. While having the same cutting-edge technical specifications as the “UFX+,” it does not require a USB3.0/Thunderbolt port because it omits the MADI terminal, which requires a huge amount of data transmission.

Audio Interface & Recorder

In addition to ultra-low latency and stable operation, thanks to RME's unique driver development technology, this model provides clear, uncompromised sound through its advanced, high-quality AD/DA converters and analog circuitry.
This model has a newly installed SteadyClock FS, which achieves jitter suppression with femtosecond (one quadrillionth of a second) precision. In addition, the analog and digital circuit boards have been newly developed. It has a DC-coupled output, improved THD+N with the latest AD/DA converters, and advanced features with updated high-technology components.

◎ Main changes from UFX
