Boasting an exclusive ADI-2-inspired design, the RME Fireface 802 FS anniversary edition is a pro-level audio interface with no-compromise sound, rock-solid stability, and ultra-low latency. This 30-input/30-output unit boasts a generous amount of connectivity, which includes four high-end microphone/line preamps and 12 channels of analog I/O, plus ADAT, S/PDIF, AES/EBU, word clock, and MIDI. You’ll appreciate the Fireface 802 FS AE’s reference-class AD/DA conversion, which operates at up to 24-bit/192kHz and is bolstered by RME’s renowned active SteadyClock FS jitter suppression. Moreover, this interface’s DC-coupled outputs permit you to send control voltages and gate information to modular synthesizers a must-have feature for Eurorack enthusiasts. The Fireface 802 FS AE includes a complete selection of built-in DSP effects, DigiCheck metering and analysis, and standalone functionality. The 802 FS AE also features a class-compliant mode and remote control via TotalMix Remote for iPad or the company’s ARC USB. For recording, mixing, mastering or all of the above you’ll find the RME Fireface 802 FS AE to be a remarkably capable studio tool.
Uncompromising audio quality
When reference-quality sound is mandatory, you can count on the Fireface 802 FS AE to meet your exacting standards. Its balanced TRS and XLR analog I/O, as well as its two headphone outputs, yield industry-leading noise and distortion specs. Its four built-in mic preamps boast plenty of gain, with an ultra-transparent sound that offers a picture-perfect representation of any sound source. The Fireface 802 FS AE is armed with state-of-the-art AD/DA conversion, providing unprecedented sonic clarity, and its SteadyClock FS guarantees jitter-free operation, even when you clock the unit to an external clock source. Every one of the Fireface 802 FS AE’s analog inputs and outputs is individually switchable between -10dBv, +4dBu, and HiGain (equivalent to +2dBV, +13dBu, and +19dBu for digital full scale). To top it off, all this audio interface’s outputs accommodate ASIO Direct Monitoring (ADM).
Loads of I/O
If you’re working on massive-sized projects, you’ll appreciate the RME Fireface 802 FS AE’s generous complement of I/O. Four super-transparent mic/line preamps and eight TRS line inputs provide ample analog connectivity, bolstered by eight TRS outputs. Optical ADAT (switchable to S/PDIF) and AES/EBU digital I/O supply plenty of room for expansion. Dual headphone outputs, word clock I/O, and MIDI I/O round out the Fireface 802 FS AE’s abundant connections. Our recording engineers are impressed with how much I/O RME has packed into a convenient 1U rackmount housing.
USB 2.0 class-compliant audio
The Fireface 802 FS AE operates in both a driver-based USB 2.0 mode and a class-compliant mode. The driver-based mode provides functionality that most DAW-based studio owners will find intuitive and familiar. The class-compliant mode operates natively on Windows, MacOS, Linux, and iPadOS no proprietary drivers required. In class-compliant mode, all channels are available for driverless operation. What’s more, an iPad Pro with USB-C can manage up to 60 channels of recording or playback via TotalMix Remote for iPad.
