Meticulously crafted for both live performances and studio environments, the RME Fireface 802 FS is a comprehensive, 60-channel USB-B audio/MIDI interface tailored for discerning users who refuse to compromise on sound quality and stability, and who need ultralow-latency operation. Enclosed within a sleek 1 RU 19" design, the Fireface 802 FS incorporates a newly developed analog and digital board with four high-performance microphone/instrument/line preamps, reference-grade converters, a complete effects section, and operation at up to 192 kHz to ensure pristine audio reproduction and capture every nuance with exceptional clarity. Other professional features include active SteadyClock FS jitter suppression, individually switchable reference levels for all I/Os, DC-coupled outputs on all 8 analog line outputs, standalone functionality, DigiCheck metering and analysis toolbox, and seamless operation with Mac and Windows.



On the front panel, the Fireface 802 FS showcases four high-performance XLR/TRS-combo inputs, accommodating microphone, instrument, and line signals with exceptional fidelity. Additionally, two stereo headphone jacks deliver a robust +17 dBu output level, ensuring ample volume even for high-impedance headphones. The back panel offers extensive connectivity options. Alongside MIDI and Wordclock I/O, you'll find two optical ADAT I/Os, an AES/EBU I/O, and eight balanced analog inputs and outputs operating at line level. The newly introduced Multi-Mode allows the two ADAT I/Os to function as separate optical S/PDIF inputs and outputs.



The Fireface 802 FS also includes a switchable Class Compliant mode (CC) for operation with the TotalMix FX mixing/routing software for iPad, enabling users to control the interface from their iPad without any computer. Moreover, users can conveniently connect the ARC USB remote (available separately) via the USB-A port to control the TotalMix FX mixing/routing software.
