As the AES convention in San Francisco approaches, we thought we’d give Mix readers a sneak peak of some of the new products debuting at the show.

RME launches its new flagship digital interface: The single-rackspace Fireface UFX features 30 input and 30 output channels of audio, with four digitally controlled, reference-quality mic preamps, 24-bit/192kHz resolution, front panel metering and FireWire or USB operation for Mac or Windows PC. Connectivity includes 12 analog inputs (four mic/line, eight line only), 12 analog line outs, four 8-channel ADAT Lightpipe ports (4 in/4 out), stereo AES/EBU digital I/Os on XLRs, BNC word clock I/Os, two sets of MIDI in/outs and a front panel headphone out.
