Why RME Babyface Pro FS Is Better

The RME Babyface Pro FS stands alone as the most stable and transparent interface on the market. While traditional interfaces rely on generic drivers, RME develops its own proprietary USB core, resulting in the industry’s lowest latency and legendary “set it and forget it” stability. Unlike generic interfaces that color the sound, the Babyface Pro FS offers a perfectly flat frequency response, ensuring you hear exactly what’s being recorded. Its DC-coupled outputs even allow you to control modular synthesizers via CV/Gate, a rare feature in this class.
