A Modern Heir to the Fireface Lineage
Designed as the logical continuation of the brand's reference interfaces, the "FS" version features a next-generation clock, enhanced stability, and a refined conversion stage for intense studio and live sessions. It retains the ergonomics and robustness that made the range famous, while adding expanded compatibility and fine control options suited to current workflows.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The Fireface 802 FS targets producers, sound engineers, and demanding creators looking for a 1 U interface capable of centralizing multichannel recordings, professional monitoring, and digital expansion. Its ADAT/AES connectivity and "Class Compliant" mode make it an evolving studio hub, while the DC-coupled outputs open the door to modular synth control and seamless hardware integration.
Key Features for an Agile Studio
High-End Conversion and Precision Clock
The 24-bit / 192 kHz engine benefits from SteadyClock FS and ICC, ensuring minimal jitter and a stable stereo image even when slaved to an external clock via Word Clock or AES. The result: tight bass, sharp transients, and a consistent panorama at all sample rates.
Versatile Preamps and Flexible Monitoring
Four combo inputs accommodate microphones, instruments, and line sources with +48 V phantom power. Two independent headphone outputs provide powerful artist mixes, while eight balanced line outputs offer options for reamping, external summing, or multichannel playback.
TotalMix FX: Mixing, Routing, and Effects Without Latency
The internal DSP allows complex submixes, applying EQ, dynamics, and reverb at will, and creating comfortable artist monitors without taxing the CPU. All controls are accessible via the TotalMix software, a dedicated remote control, and even in standalone mode thanks to the "Setup Recall" memories.
Extended Connectivity and Modular Integration
With 2 ADAT ports, AES/EBU, Word Clock BNC, and MIDI, the interface easily integrates at the heart of a digital equipment setup. The DC-coupled outputs provide direct CV/Gate control of modular systems and analog synthesizers, enabling creative synchronization between digital and analog worlds.

Questions frequently asked
Is the RME Fireface 802 FS compatible with Mac and PC?
Compatibility is ensured on both PC and Mac, with a Class Compliant mode for extended integration.
How many microphone inputs and headphone outputs are available?
Four combo inputs accept microphones, instruments, or line sources, with +48 V phantom power. Two independent headphone outputs allow creating separate artist monitor mixes.
Can the interface be expanded via ADAT or AES/EBU?
Two ADAT ports and one AES/EBU connection allow integration of additional digital equipment. The connectivity also includes Word Clock on BNC and MIDI.
Can the outputs of the Fireface 802 FS control a modular system?
The eight balanced line outputs are DC-coupled, making it possible to send CV/Gate signals to analog synthesizers or a modular system.
How does zero-latency monitoring work with TotalMix FX?
The internal DSP of TotalMix FX manages submixes, EQ, dynamics, and reverb without burdening the computer's processor. Settings can be controlled via software or dedicated remote control. The standalone mode retains configurations through Setup Recall memories.
