TotalMix FX mixer gives you powerful control over large track counts

The Fireface UFX II provides you with incredible control over inputs, outputs, mix levels, and more, thanks to RME's TotalMix FX software mixer. Not only do you have unlimited routing of inputs and outputs, you can also split and distribute signals to multiple outputs at a time. TotalMix FX is loaded with effects. At Sweetwater, we've used TotalMix FX to create latency-free monitor mixes with EQ, dynamics, reverb, and delay. You also have peak and RMS level metering, which is crucial for managing the gain levels of large numbers of tracks. And the TotalMix FX app for iPad adds full remote control over the Fireface UFX II's hardware mixer and DSP effects. You can even create, store, and load complete mixes directly from your iPad!

Optional ARC USB remote provides convenient desktop control

RME's ARC USB remote (sold separately) connects to your computer via USB and provides you with direct control over the Fireface UFX II. The ARC USB fits conveniently on your desktop and has 15 freely assignable and illuminated buttons, one encoder wheel, and a footswitch jack. ARC USB is completely plug and play.
