Rme Babyface Pro Fs USB Audio Interface

RME Babyface Pro FS :

The RME Babyface Pro FS, a high-end audio interface with several improvements over its predecessor. This device is designed for professional audio recording and playback, offering a range of features that enhance its performance and usability.

Craftsmanship of Babyface Pro:

The Babyface Pro FS is made from a single block of aluminum, emphasizing outstanding craftsmanship. This design decision promotes endurance and precision in both the audio circuits and the mechanics.

Output Control:

The addition of a +19 / +4 dBu switch at the bottom allows customers to directly change the output volume. This improves the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for sensitive active monitors, reduces distortion and overload, and keeps TotalMix FX fader placements at their optimal settings.

SteadyClock FS Circuit:

The interface uses the Full SteadyClock FS circuit, which reduces jitter and improves jitter immunity. This results in a more steady clock frequency and better audio quality.

Features of RME Babyface:

Headphone outputs:

The 3.5mm TRS headphone output power has been increased from 70 to 90 milliwatts (mW). The Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of both headphone outputs is reduced by up to 10 decibels. The output op-amps are comparable to those found on the ADI-2 Pro. Furthermore, the output impedance of the 3.5mm TRS output is reduced from 2 Ohms to 0.1 Ohm.

Improved microphone and line inputs:

The microphone inputs’ Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) has been increased from 112.2 dB to 113.7 dB. The TRS Line inputs’ SNR has increased from 114 dB to 116.3 dB (120 dBA). The Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for Line inputs has also been lowered by 8 decibels.

Characteristics of RME Babyface Pro Fs:

Reduced latency:

The new ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) design reduces delay by 6 samples on the Analog-to-Digital (AD) side. The AD latency is 5 samples, whereas the digital-to-analog (DA) latency is 7.

Efficiency and power:

The Babyface Pro FS maintains its power efficiency, achieving these advancements without raising power requirements. The interface works consistently with USB 3 bus power and most USB 2 ports.

Clocking using SteadyClock FS:

The SteadyClock FS circuit guarantees a consistent clock frequency, which is critical for sustaining audio quality. It has minimal jitter and excellent jitter immunity, producing a more detailed and clear audio image.

TotalMix FX, TotalMix Remote:

The Babyface Pro FS has TotalMix FX, a sophisticated digital real-time mixer that enables for customizable routing and mixing of input and playback channels. TotalMix Remote supports remote control from iOS, PC, or Mac devices, increasing flexibility and convenience while modifying settings.

Overall, the RME Babyface Pro FS includes a number of advancements and features that make it ideal for professional audio recording, mixing, and playback. Its meticulous attention to detail in both design and technical performance makes it an appealing option for consumers looking for high-quality audio interfaces.
