Amazing Interface
RME Fireface 802 USB / FireWire Audio Interface
Reviewed by Seth on B&H Photo Video
I've been recording for about 15 years. This interface was recommended to me by some friends who do commercial audio work for a living. I chose this unit for the amount of ins and outs possibilities, the built in pre-amps, the converters, and the knobs on the front of the interface in lieu of all digital mixing on some of the other RME's. (I'm a little bit old school.) Take it for what it's worth, but when using the proper outboard gear in combination with this interface, my vocals and digital tracks no longer have to be re-tracked at the studio. The lows and highs are wonderful. You can make a professional recording with this interface and the proper outboard gear, there is no question. It was surprisingly easy to set up, and the only thing that had a little bit of a learning curve was the built in mixing/routing software. Support is amazing. Quality is amazing. I am now an RME man. Thanks to these guys for putting such an amazing product in this price range out on the market. This is only the third time in my life I have written a review for a product. Hope that tells you something. ... More
Excellent product, like no other

With the Fireface 802, RME seems to have find the perfect balance between reliability VS performance (ultra low latencies) and functionnality VS esthetics. At the time of writing, I couldn't find a better audio interface for sale in this product range. I've been using it for a few weeks and it works flawlessly, using either firewire or USB. I run it on Win7 Ultimate 64-bit on a custom built PC. The software side (drivers, Totalmix FX and Digicheck) are simply excellent. We get frequent updates and low CPU loads (DSP chipset included in the hardware) to complete this great package. As always, if using firewire, a good chipset must be used on the computer side (Texas Instruments is recommended). I had to try a few PCI cards to get good stability, but problems were always related to chipsets on the computer side. ... More
A++ Fast and Rock Solid

Reviewed by Rystro on B&H Photo Video
I use the Fireface 802 for mainly film/media music. With using a lot of virtual instruments this unit gave me better latency compared to old Apogee Ensemble. The sound of the converters compared to the Apogee I feel are a little more acurate. The Apogee had a more rounder sound but I believe was colored. The unit has been FAR more solid then the Apogee Ensemble. No crashes so far or pops/noise when switching sample rates.
It's about the drivers

There are a lot of audio interfaces on the market. While there are sonic differences for me what is more important is stability. The RME Fireface 802 is absolutely 100% rock solid via USB with my computer. Latency is very low as well. This is a really well engineered piece of hardware and software.
Great Interface

Absolutely beautiful A/D and D/As on this one. Works as a slightly cheaper UFX replacement if you don't need an extreme amount of IO. I chose this over the Ensemble or Orion because it has all the IO I need (lots more 1/4in line outs on the back). TotalMix is also a great piece of software. My only gripe is the lack of a volume knob for the main outs. You can get a digital controller, but I'd rather use a knob on the interface itself.

Very clear sounding interface with an excellent software mixer with dsp

Reviewed by Greg W. on Reverb
I bought this because my old PC finally died (XT, 12 years old) and I specifically wanted a Firewire/USB interface. (I specifically didn't want Thunderbolt.) The sound of this immediately blew me away, and after a week or so of setting things up and using it, it's been rock solid. I highly recommend this interface.
I have never received my purchase!

I ordered this on April 14, 2020. Today is May 12 and I still have not received the unit. I will make update on the review when I get it, if I ever will.
