RME Fireface 800 Firewire Audio Interface Review

The Good: Built like a tank in Germany. Flexible Ins and Outs. Word clock in and out. Sounds excellent on my Genelecs. Sound stage is wide with depth, but accurate. Because of the superb sound, you can have your monitors at a sane volume level to hear the presence and feel the impact of your music. Bass is exactly as it should be. Easily hear the tone and fundamentals. Everything sounds the way you made it. I have always plugged my Stingray bass directly in, and the instrument input is superb. It has a couple tricks on the instrument input like compression-okay, tube-ish overdrive probably wont use. Mic pres are even with no color, which is where one should start anyway. Total Mix software that comes with it is a versatile bus/mix mixer. This box is totally professional and very versatile. The Bad: It sounds so good, now you have no excuse for bad mixes. And it doesn't have a physical monitor level knob. I got a Radial SAT-2 monitor volume box. ... More

I'm so stoked about having this unit. It has been discontinued by RME, but the drivers are available online and work great on my Windows 7 workstation. I run Steinberg Cubase Pro 9.5, have a 3.6Gig Intel I7 processor and only 16Gig of RAM. Quality of sound is beyond my experience with Focusrite's Pro-DSP24 and even Steinberg's UR-816C. Incredible dynamic range and powerful analog outputs. Top of the line.

Outstanding

Minus the obvious firewire requirement, this interface is worth every penny. The RME Dedicated software is seamless and fluid for a complete experience. The interface includes plenty of inputs and outputs for outboard gear or extra monitors. For a step up from amateur bedrooms studio to a more professional approach this is the key.

Solid interface.

This interface is everything it is advertised to be. The learning curve is pretty tough on the software, but it is definitely worth it! Great product!

Solid drivers, clinically accurate sound. RME makes the best audio interfaces and I have used them all. The UCX is my favorite as it features all the inputs I need within a portable unit

Classic Interface

I have tried several interfaces over the last 10 years. I'm very happy to be reunited with the interface I used in 2005. Nothing else I've tried is as stable and good sounding. Bliss.

All as described. Thanks
