All-round package for your studio

The Fireface 802 FS is a first-class high-end USB audio interface from RME designed for users who don't want to compromise on sound, reliability and latency. The 19" device scores with its large and unrivalled professional feature set, while besides the use with Mac or PC computers, there is the optional possibility to work standalone and to integrate iPads.

With a total of 60 channels, and various connections - analogue or digital - up to DC coupled outputs, the Fireface 802 FS offers everything that makes up the professional heart of your studio.

Connections, connections, connections!

If you want to drive larger music productions and be as versatile as possible, this is the best choice: with a total of 30 input / 30 output channels, 12 analogue inputs and outputs, an AES/EBU I/O, the two ADAT connections and the MIDI interface, you won't break a sweat. Create tape, orchestra or live recordings thanks to these possibilities and benefit from the latest A/D and D/A converter chips with low latency at high resolutions up to 192kHz.

Those who like to use standalone and/or their iPad at work will be pleased with the Class Compliant Mode. An iPad Pro with USB C can manage up to 60 channels of recording and output in TotalMix FX for iPad and at the system level.

Another option for operation is the optionally available ARC USB Remote Control. It is simply connected to the computer via USB and communicates directly with TotalMix FX. Here you have 15 freely assignable and illuminated buttons, an encoder wheel as well as a jack plug for connecting a footswitch.

CV/Gate Voltage Control

Traditionally, most audio interfaces are equipped with AC-coupled outputs. Unwanted low-frequency signals are supposed to be filtered out, as they not only eat up headroom but can possibly damage other devices.

However, RME works here with DC-coupled outputs that use static or slow signals to control various parameters like pitch values or LFOs of modular synthesizers - and other studio hardware.
