RME Babyface Pro FS Kit with Interface, Neumann TLM-102 Mic, Neumann NDH 20 Headphones, Cable, and Stand

Bundled together by Fotohaus Klinger for your convenience, thisRME Babyface Pro FS Kit offers essential ingredients for high-quality recording. Not only do you get the Babyface Pro FS Interface—a unit with 4 channels of analog I/O and studio-quality specifications—you also get two pieces of Neumann gear found in many studios across the world: the TLM-102 microphone and the NDH 20 Closed-Back Studio Headphones.

The TLM-102 is a large-diaphragm transformerless condenser mic that excels on everything from vocals to guitars to drums. The headphones provide isolated sound with a flat frequency response, giving you separation, clarity, and accuracy, for use as a great monitoring tool.

A high-quality mic cable is included. You'll also benefit from the supplied mic stand. This kit is for any producer, singer, engineer, solo musician, podcaster, or audiobook narrator who wishes to record a superlative sound.

The RME Babyface Pro FS 24-Channel 192 kHz USB 2.0 Bus-Powered AudioInterfaceis designed for a wide variety of studio and live recording applications. Users of the original Babyface Pro will recognize the look of this portable interface, with its dedicated XLR sockets and parallel phone jacks (1/4", 3.5mm, and TRS connections).

Familiar users will be delighted at the new improvements offered in the Babyface Pro FS. RME has implemented a +19/+4 dBu switch on the bottom to reduce the output level, allowing you to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio of the preamps on a case by case basis. The clocking, already high-quality, has been improved to provide ultralow jitter and jitter immunity. The 3.5mm headphone output power has risen from 70 to 90mW, and both headphone outputs sport improved THD up to 10 dB. Latency now has a typical delay of 5 samples AD and 7 samples DA, one-fifth of previous generations. These are just some of the improvements.

The interface ships with the company's TotalMix FX, a software mixer available for Windows, Mac OS X, and iOS. When using the device with an iPad, an external power adapter must be used, as the iPad alone is unable to power the interface. The mixer software allows you to use the interface in a wide variety of situations, from the simple mixing of signals to more complicated routing configurations.

The unit's FPGA-based DSP mixer adds a flexible 3-band parametric equalizer on all inputs and outputs. Delay and reverb are also on hand. Achieving sample rates and resolutions of up to 192 kHz / 24-bit, the interface offers a professional recording solution in a compact form factor.

Bundled with a vibration-reducing shockmount and a compact stand mount, the nickel Neumann TLM 102 Studio Set large-diaphragm condenser microphone brings renowned Neumann sound quality to a price point that's inclusive to home producers, working musicians, and independent singer-songwriters. The capsule's high SPL rating of 144 dB permits the recording of percussion, drums, amplifiers, and other loud sound sources clearly and without distortion. With its 8 to 12 kHz treble boost, the TLM 102 imparts a silky vocal presence while avoiding pronounced sibilance.
