The Fireface 802 FS is a highly integrated pro audio solution for live and studio use, all within a 19" enclosure. An interface designed for users who don't want to make compromises in sound, stability and ultra-low latency operation, and who long for an unrivaled professional feature set. Once again a milestone interface from RME, including the best of the best and even a bit more. 60 channels of audio, high-end microphone preamps, reference class converters, a complete effects section and operation at up to 192 kHz are the base for many more features. The Fireface 802 FS is based on a newly developed analog and digital board. While the analog board offers DC-coupled analog outputs as well as new AD and DA converters, the digital board also enables interesting new features thanks to updated high-tech components. The front panel provides four high-performance XLR/TRS combo inputs for microphone, instrument and line signals and two stereo headphone jacks with +17 dBu output level. The rear panel reveals the full connectivity with MIDI and Word Clock I/O, two optical ADAT I/Os, an AES/EBU I/O, and eight balanced analog inputs and outputs with line level. With the new Multi-Mode, the two ADAT I/Os can be used as separate optical SPDIF inputs and outputs in addition to the AES I/O. A USB A port is available for connecting the optional ARC USB. The Fireface 802 FS operates in two different modes: driver-based USB 2 and Class Compliant. All line-level outputs are fully DC-coupled, allowing for the sending of control voltages (CV) or Gate information to modular synthesizers.
