    Engineered to perfection, the Fireface 802 FS from RME is a 60-Channel 192 kHz high-end USB Audio Interface that redefines what it means to deliver professional-grade sound. This premium pro audio solution crams 19” of power-packed capabilities into a single, compact box, making it perfect for use in both studio and live settings. Whether you’re looking for ultra-low latency operations, incredible sound clarity, or an unrivaled feature set, the Fireface 802 has you covered.

    The Fireface 802 FS is loaded with awesome features that will make any audio engineer or producer giddy with excitement. Enjoy crystal clear sound clarity thanks to reference class converters, high-end microphone preamps, and a vast array of effects to customize your sonic output like never before. With operation speeds up to 192kHz, you can rest assured that you are getting maximum sound quality every time. And, with an impressive 60 channels of audio to mix and master, you really can have it all with the Fireface 802 FS.

    Enhance Your Recording Setup - Discover Unmatched Flexibility

    Ultra-low latency operation with RME USB 2 technology, combined with the legendary RME driver stability and maintenance. SteadyClock FS jitter suppression, individually switchable reference levels for all inputs and outputs, full stand-alone functionality and identical operation on Windows PC and Mac completes the package.

    Powerful Applications for Mixing, Monitoring and Measurement included

    The Fireface 802 FS comes with the TotalMix FX DSP mixer offering comprehensive routing and monitoring options, as well as the DigiCheck Analyzer allowing to measure and analyze the digital data feed in both directions with maximum precision. TotalMix FX can completely replace an external mixer, enabling the creation of multiple latency-free monitor mixes with EQ, Dynamics, Reverb and Delay for any outputs, incl. main monitors and headphone mixes for musicians.

    USB 2 Class Compliant Audio

    The Fireface 802 FS operates in two different modes: driver-based USB 2 and Class Compliant. The Class Compliant mode is a standard that is natively supported by operating systems like Windows, Mac OSX and Linux distributions. No proprietary drivers are required, the device will be directly recognized when the CC firmware is loaded. The alternative CC mode can be activated via a recessed pushbutton switch directly at the back of the interface.

    The Fireface 802 FS offers full USB 2.0 support in Class Compliant Mode. This makes all channels available in driverless operation for Linux, Mac and iPadOS. An iPad Pro with USB C can manage up to 60 channels for recording and playback in TotalMix FX for iPad and on system level.

    DC-Coupled Outputs - CV/Gate Voltage Control

    All of the Fireface 802 FS line-level outputs are fully DC-coupled, allowing for the sending of control voltages (CV) or Gate information to modular synthesizers (such as the popular Eurorack and Moog/MOTM/Synthesizers formats) and other studio hardware.

    ARC USB Remote Control - Plug’n Play Plus

    The optional available ARC USB connects to your computer via USB, and talks to TotalMix FX directly. It has 15 freely assignable and illuminated buttons, one encoder wheel, and a TS jack to connect a foot switch.

    The ARC USB is a USB 1.1 MIDI remote control for the Fireface 802 FS. Thanks to operating as a UAC 1 class device, it is natively compatible to Windows and Mac OS X. As soon as it is present in the operating system, TotaIMix FX will automatically detect the ARC USB, and communicate with it via simple MIDI remote commands to control the 802 FS.

    Experience Uncompromising Audio Quality

    Like other RME products before the Fireface 802 FS combines excellent analog circuit design with latest digital conversion technology. All balanced TRS & XLR I/Os as well as the two phones outputs offer outstanding low noise and distortion values. In best RME tradition and product philosophy converters and preamps don’t produce “sound”, they do not add or remove anything from the source signal, just capture it as it is.

    Professional high-transparency Preamps

    For Microphones and Instruments with Low Latency Conversion. The 802 FS has four high-transparency preamps, also with low latency converters. Microphone and instrument preamps of the 802 FS use the classic technology of the OctaMic II, a high-end preamp for supreme sonic demands and critical applications, like the professional recording of classical concerts. The symmetrical preamp design impresses with extremely low distortion, excellent signal to noise ratio and a perfect linear frequency response. A premium solution for transmitting and amplifying any audio input truly unchanged, be it high-level stage or typical studio signals, lower level and high-impedance instruments, or dynamic, condenser and ribbon microphones.
