The Ultimate Studio Centerpiece: 188 Channels of Pure Precision

The RME Fireface UFX III is the multichannel flagship interface designed to anchor any professional multitrack studio or high-end live rig. Boasting a massive 94 inputs and 94 outputs, it seamlessly blends analog warmth with digital flexibility. Whether you are a mixing engineer tackling complex sessions, a touring professional requiring rock-solid stability, or a mastering expert demanding the lowest possible jitter, the UFX III provides the transparency and performance required to lead the industry.

Pristine Clarity with Reference-Class Clocking
Experience your mix exactly as it is. With RME’s state-of-the-art SteadyClock FS technology, the UFX III provides the lowest jitter and highest immunity to clocking artifacts on the market. This ensures your high-quality analog conversion remains transparent, providing incredible headroom and a depth of field that allows every detail of your recording to shine through with total sonic fidelity.

DURec: The Ultimate Safety Net for Live Audio
The innovative Direct USB Recording (DURec) feature transforms your interface into a standalone field recorder. Record up to 80 channels of I/O directly to a USB thumb drive or hard drive—no computer required. This is a game-changer for live concerts, spontaneous jam sessions, and virtual soundchecks, offering a reliable, independent recording path for mission-critical productions.

Unrivalled Connectivity & DSP Power
With 128 channels of MADI, dual ADAT I/O, and AES/EBU, the UFX III offers expansion possibilities that satisfy even the most demanding large-scale projects. All of this is managed by the legendary TotalMix FX engine, providing a latency-free mixing environment with on-board EQ, dynamics, and reverb/delay. Additionally, the DC-coupled outputs enable you to send control voltages (CV/Gate) directly to your modular synthesizer rig, bridging the gap between digital precision and analogue synthesis.
