Product Description
The exciting Babyface Pro once again demonstrates RME’s absolute commitment to superior craftsmanship, not only in audio circuits and driver development, but also in mechanics. Created with the highest precision from a block of aluminum, this high-end yet portable interface incorporates newly designed analog and digital circuits. Its innovative energy saving technologies provide supreme fidelity with no compromises in level, noise or distortion. For the main I/O RME have designed a completely new XLR socket, which integrates seamlessly into the housing and saves space. The two headphone outputs, offering TRS and mini-jack sockets in parallel, have completely separate driver stages to perfectly match low and high impedance headphones, ing pristine sonic results no matter what type of headphone is used. Two digitally controlled preamps provide individually switchable 48V phantom power. These brand new circuits feature a gain range of 76 dB, adjustable in steps of 1 dB, including a relay-driven PAD, resulting in exceptional EIN (Equivalent Input Noise) performance as well as line overload protection, and enough gain for even the lowest level microphones. Babyface Pro’s incredibly efficient design almost never requires an external power supply – it’s perfectly stable on USB 3 bus power, and also most USB 2 ports, with no degradation in any technical specification. This makes it perfect for mobile recording, even with a pair of your favorite condenser microphones. The comprehensive feature set continues with an optical TOSLINK I/O; use as either an ADAT port with SMUX support or SPDIF for sessions up to 192 kHz. In combination with an external ADAT converter, the Babyface Pro fully supports 12 analog inputs as well as 12 outputs, making it ideal for both live and studio multi-track applications. You can plug any instrument, line or high impedance, into Babyface Pro’s jack inputs 3 & 4. Record your guitar on the go, with no additional hardware required. MIDI I/O via an included breakout cable completes the package.

The exciting Babyface Pro once again demonstrates RME’s absolute commitment to superior craftsmanship, not only in audio circuits and driver development, but also in mechanics. |
Created with the highest precision from a block of aluminum, this high-end yet portable interface incorporates newly designed analog and digital circuits. Its innovative energy saving technologies provide supreme fidelity with no compromises in level, noise or distortion. |
Babyface Pro ships with RME’s TotalMix FX, available for Windows and Mac OS X. An iOS version is available as well. This amazingly versatile software allows you to use Babyface Pro in any situation. For example mixing your guitar and vocals to headphones has never been easier. |
Straight to the core without interference: the reference design of the Babyface Pro leaves nothing to be desired. RME devices are designed to conserve music as it is. Audio signals are passed in their entirety, nothing added, nothing taken. For the new Babyface, the audio circuits have been improved to meet even highest gain levels with best dynamic range. The clever user interface is informative and clearly laid out. It makes access to every feature and configuration mode of the Babyface Pro intuitive and easy to use. |

Unless you use the ADAT IO, the connections are limited to 2 MICs and 2 line inputs. But it is very portable and powers from the USB port. The TotalMIX software is very flexible although not well explained. The manual covers everything for the guy who wrote the software, but it's not obvious to someone who is new to the product. If you are a beginner in audio stuff, this will confuse the heck out of you. For example, you will not hear yourself thru the headphones in the default setup. You need to bring up the MIC channel for the headphone out channel in the software. This is very easy to do if you know where everything is and how it works. For beginners who don't need the small/portable size or for a small band, I would recommend something with more knobs and an easier UI, such as the excellent Yamaha MG12XU series, or even the Zoom R16/24 if you need to record separate stems (outputs 8 of them over USB). Depending on your needs for on location stuff etc, Zoom F4 or F8N Multitrack Field Recorder could be a better option. As far as audio quality, Babyface Pro is top notch, very clear sound in and out. Software seemed to run without issues on my Windows 7 system. If you need something good quality to hook up to your laptop, then Babyface Pro delivers. Just be prepared for the software learning curve at the start. This thing even supports remote control!
So it was used, damaged, with screws loose, and no cables to attach it. Returned immediately.
and didn't include the USB 2.0 cable like it's supposed to
