The latest generation, the Fireface 802 FS, was introduced in 2023 and brings numerous improvements that further support modern studio environments. With the FS model, RME introduced their unique SteadyClock FS technology, which guarantees even more precise clocking and less jitter. This leads to a significant sound improvement and higher stability, especially in complex digital audio environments. In addition, the analog circuitry has been further optimised, resulting in even better signal quality and reduced latency. The Fireface 802 FS also offers an optional Class Compliant mode (30 channel I/O with up to 192 kHz) and operation with TotalMix FX for iPad, RME’s app to fully control the Fireface 802 FS from the iPad without any computer. The alternative CC mode can be activated via a recessed push button switch directly at the back of the interface. For controlling TotalMix FX including the latest Room EQ feature, users will find a USB-A port for direct connection of the optional available ARC USB. RME has always focused on continuously improving audio quality, stability and compatibility over the years. While the Fireface 800 was a breakthrough at the time, the Fireface 802 built on this foundation and brought significant upgrades to meet the demands of modern audio setups. The Fireface 802 FS continues this tradition with a focus on precision and durability.
