RME Fireface UFX III USB Audio Interface

The RME Fireface UFX III is the high-performance command center you've been waiting for. This flagship interface is engineered to be the unwavering heart of any professional multitrack studio, effortlessly managing up to 94 channels of I/O. It combines unparalleled flexibility, rock-solid compatibility, and RME’s legendary low-latency performance to ensure your sessions run flawlessly, no matter the application.

Unlocking Your Studio's Full Potential

The Fireface UFX III is more than just an interface; it's a creative enabler designed for professionals who demand the best. Whether you're tracking a full band, mixing a complex film score, or mastering an album, this powerhouse delivers pristine audio and total control, letting you focus on what truly matters: the music.

Pristine Audio Conversion & Analog Performance: The UFX III is built on newly designed analog and digital boards. This means you get next-generation AD/DA converters with improved THD+N values for ultra-clean recordings, plus DC-coupled outputs perfect for sending control voltages to your favorite modular synths.

SteadyClock FS Technology: RME's industry-leading clocking technology provides femtosecond-level jitter rejection, guaranteeing incredible sonic detail and a stable, stereo image. Your audio has never sounded so clear and transparent.

Powerful Onboard DSP: With a powerhouse DSP chip under the hood, you get access to the TotalMix FX mixer, which includes EQ, dynamics, reverb, and delay on every channel — all with zero latency. Create complex monitor mixes for musicians without ever taxing your computer's CPU.

Unmatched Connectivity and Flexibility

The Fireface UFX III isn't just about raw power; it’s about providing a seamless, integrated workflow that adapts to your needs. Its expansive I/O and routing capabilities mean you can finally connect all your outboard gear, digital sources, and monitoring systems without compromise.

Comprehensive MADI I/O: With 64 channels of MADI on board, the UFX III opens the door to a world of professional digital and analog I/O solutions. Easily expand your channel count by connecting external converters or route audio between multiple MADI-equipped devices in series.

Full USB 3.0 Performance (Class Compliant Ready): Finally, an interface that doesn’t cut corners. The UFX III delivers all 94 channels of I/O over USB 3.0, even in Class Compliant mode. This means you can get full, driverless operation on Mac, Linux, and even an iPad Pro with USB-C.

DURec (Direct USB Recording): Record up to 80 channels directly to a connected USB thumb drive or hard drive via the front-panel port. This DSP-powered feature lets you capture live shows, rehearsals, or jam sessions reliably, even without a computer.

Your Workflow, Your Way

The beauty of the UFX III lies in how it molds to your studio, not the other way around. Every feature is designed to solve real-world problems and speed up your creative process, giving you complete command over your audio environment.

TotalMix FX & TotalMix Remote: This isn't just a control panel; it’s a complete virtual mixing console. Route any input to any output, create multiple latency-free headphone mixes, and control it all from your computer or remotely from an iPad via Wi-Fi. It’s like having a large-format console at your fingertips.

ARC USB Remote Control (Optional): Get hands-on control over TotalMix FX with the optional ARC USB. This plug-and-play remote features 15 assignable buttons, an encoder wheel, and a footswitch jack, letting you manage your monitor mixes and session functions without touching the mouse.

DC-Coupled Outputs for Synthesizer Control: All of the UFX III’s line-level analog outputs are fully DC-coupled. This allows you to send control voltages (CV) and gate signals directly from your DAW to modular synthesizers, bringing your hardware and software worlds together seamlessly.
