RME Babyface USB 2.0 Interface

Reference-quality sound, ultra-low latency, multiple channel I/O, with unprecedented performance from USB.




The RME Babyface USB audio interface is equipped with the latest 192kHz
AD/DA-converters and 2 reference-class microphone preamps, delivering
top sound in an attractively shaped enclosure. When it comes to sound
quality and price-to-performance ratio, RME is in a league of its own,
and Babyface is no exception. It combines excellent analog circuit
design with high-grade AD/DA converter chips. Additionally, RME's famous
SteadyClock ensures jitter-free conversion of the highest quality.

Both digitally controlled preamps provide individually switchable 48V
phantom power. Gain of up to 65dB (adjustable in steps of 1dB over a
range of 55dB), exceptional EIN performance (even at low amplification
settings), and extremely low THD+N values) are why these preamps surpass
those that cost several times the price of the Babyface. All level
settings are 100% recallable by the setup software and can be easily
adjusted.

Multi-format—Babyface's incredible feature set includes an optical
TOSLINK I/O, usable as an ADAT port with SMUX support, or SPDIF at up to
192kHz. In combination with an ADAT converter, such as the RME ADI-8
DS/QS or OctaMic II, the Babyface provides an incredible amount of 10
analog input and 12 output channels.

Analog I/O—balanced XLR I/O and TRS outputs employing RME's
analog circuit expertise guarantee outstanding low noise and distortion
values. The latest generation AD/DA converters provide sample rates up
to 192kHz with a signal-to-noise ratio of up to 115dBA. Due to its
efficient jitter reduction, SteadyClock guarantees pristine sound
quality, even when clocking to an external digital source.

MIDI I/O—the integrated MIDI I/O completes the list of features
and turns the Babyface into a creative audio system of universal
usability. Do what you want – wherever you want!

Instrument Input—directly plug in your guitar or other
instruments by switching one input to Hi-Z input mode. Recording any
instrument becomes a breeze and does not require any other hardware.

Perfect Control—with one main control knob and two buttons, the
elegantly designed Babyface acts as a direct desktop control for all
typical studio tasks including volume control, reference volume store
and recall, volume dim, input selection/switching, and input gain
control, with quick and easy access to all functions. LED bars serve as
both level meter and gain meters, visually supporting the precise
control of all inputs, outputs and headphone levels directly at the
interface.

USB by RME—the Babyface provides RME's unmatched USB technology
for revolutionary ultra-low latencies on Mac and PC. Under both
operating Systems the available latencies are simply sensational and
provide an exceptional performance.

Full mobility—the ultra-portable Babyface offers bus-powered
operation via two USB connectors (USB power cable included). This turns
the Babyface into the perfect partner for mobile recording of live
performances, composing sessions in a park or coffee shop, or just
wherever you go. Even if you just see it as a good-looking hi-fi music
player or home studio companion, it will work perfectly on your desktop
or notebook computer.

Rear Connectors—Babyface provides two optical I/Os and a 15-pin
D-sub connector. Both TOSLINK connectors for ADAT or SPDIF optical are
on the back of the Babyface. The breakout cable, connected directly or
via a special extension cable, has the following connections:

• 4 x XLR balanced (analog I/O)
• 1 x 1/4" TRS for Phones (= analog out 3+4)
• 2 x DIN (MIDI I/O)

TotalMix FX

The next generation of TotalMix delivers hardware mixing/routing with
lots of new features and a highly improved usability. For a seamless
integration of the new features TotalMix has been rewritten from the
ground up. The DSP mixer not only matches features of high-end digital
consoles but even adds effects, including a 3-band parametric EQ, plus
low cut on all input and output channels.

The Babyface also provides a separate FX send bus for all inputs and
software playback channels, feeding two effect engines: Reverb and Echo.
Every output channel includes a FX return control for the FX output
signal. The DSP-based hardware calculates RMS and Peak levels for all
channels without causing any CPU load.
