RME Fireface 802 FS AE

Experience pristine audio with the RME Fireface 802 FS AE. A high-end 192 kHz USB audio interface offering top-tier preamps and SteadyClock jitter suppression.

Product information "RME Fireface 802 FS AE"

60-channel 192 kHz high-end USB audio interface
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the legendary Fireface 800, RME presents an exclusive special edition: the Fireface 802 FS AE, in an elegant dark design inspired by the successful ADI-2 series. The Fireface 802 FS AE is technically identical to the Fireface 802 FS and offers the same powerful features and functions, such as 60 audio channels, high-end microphone preamps, reference-class converters, a complete effects section, and operation up to 192 kHz. Active SteadyClock FS jitter suppression, DC-coupled outputs for all 8 analog line outputs, individually switchable reference levels for all inputs and outputs, full stand-alone functionality, DigiCheck metering and analysis toolbox, and identical operation on Windows PC and Mac complete the package. The feature set also includes the optional Class Compliant mode (full 30-channel I/O with up to 192 kHz) and operation with TotalMix FX for iPad, RME’s app for complete control of the Fireface 802 FS AE from an iPad, entirely without a computer. The alternative CC mode can be activated via a recessed button directly on the back of the interface. For controlling TotalMix FX, including the latest Room EQ function, users will now find a USB-A port for directly connecting the optionally available ARC USB.
