RME Fireface UCX II 40-Channel USB-B Audio/MIDI Interface with Guitar Recording Kit

Capture acoustic rhythms or your best electric riffs with thisB&H Kit, which combines a RME Fireface UCX II USB-B audio interface with a cardioid dynamic microphone, an XLR mic cable, a pair of closed-back, over-ear studio monitoring headphones, and a tripod mic stand with fixed boom.

Compact, portable, and packed with features from their premier interfaces, the RME Fireface UCX II is a desktop 20x20 USB audio/MIDI interface that effectively serves as a mobile version of RME's respected UFX rackmount models, earning it the flexibility to benefit musicians, content creators, and serious engineers alike. Not only is it a capable interface with plenty of analog and digital I/O for your DAW-based productions, but it also supports powerful remote-control options and standalone operation to accommodate a myriad of workflows and recording scenarios. Additionally, it can record all I/O channels directly to USB flash storage thanks to the internal DURec digital recorder.

Since it has eight analog inputs—two high-gain mic/line preamps, two line / Hi-Z inputs, and four rear-panel line inputs, the Fireface UCX II can easily handle dynamic and condenser mics, electric instruments, and professional line-level devices. With six balanced TRS line outputs and a stereo headphone jack, it has no problem feeding monitors, headphones, and even CV/gate inputs on synth gear. Reference-class clocking and compliance with resolutions up to 24-bit / 192 kHz enable the interface to perform at its best, and a crisp color display shows metering for all inputs and outputs at the same time.

The Fireface UCX II is a highly integrated pro-audio solution in an ultracompact format for studio and live recordings. It continues RME's long tradition of designing advanced compact interfaces, packing into a half-rack size unit what usually would be spread outover two or three 19" panels.

With up to 20 channels for recording and playback, SteadyClock FS, high-performance microphone inputs, parametric EQ, dynamics processing, echo, reverb, DURec (Direct USB Recording), MIDI I/O, a powerful headphone output, and full standalone operation, the Fireface UCX II excels with RME's highest feature-to-space ratio ever.

The Kopul Studio Elite 4000 Series XLR M to XLR F Microphone Cable (15') is a studio-quality cable for connecting mics to mixers, preamps, audio interfaces, and recorders or to be used in any other application where XLR connectivity is required. The cable is engineered to be both quiet and durable, and is well suited for critical recording and broadcast situations.

Studio Elite 4000 Series cables are made from 24 AWG OFC copper wire that's wrapped with PE insulation and a conductive PVC inner shield. A cotton-yarn inner layer helps reduce electrostatic and microphonic noise. A 98% braided outer shield makes the cable resistant to EMI and RFI noise. The Neutrik XX silver connectors provide a high level of connectivity, and all the solder connections are shrink-wrapped for protection.

Twin-conductive PVC inner shielding provides 100% coverage of the core conductor. It helps keep the cable's signal from radiating and affecting nearby cables, and also helps prevent external EMI from penetrating to the cable's core.
