Latest Generation Low Latency AD/DA Converters
Newly designed circuitry
The main I/O on the Babyface sports a completely newly designed XLR socket, which sits nicely on the rear panel of the chassis and saves space. The dual headphone outs offer both TRS and mini-jack sockets, each of these have their own independent driver stages to perfectly sync low and high impedance headphones, ensuring professional audio quality is delivered regardless of what type of headphone is utilised.
Two digitally controlled preamps deliver individually switchable 48v Phantom Power. These newly designed circuits boast a gain range of 76dB, adjustable in 1dB increments, a relay-driven PAD, which delivers incredible EIN (Equivalent Input Noise) performance as well as line overload protection, and plenty of gain for even the lowest level microphones.
Percect for mobile studio use
The admirably efficient design of the Babyface Pro means that you’ll almost never have the need for an external power supply, it’s perfectly capable running on USB 3 bus power, aswell as most USB 2 ports, without any loss of performance or technical specification degradation. This makes the Babyface Pro a great choice for mobile studio use.
The long list of impressive features does not stop there, the Babyface Pro has an optical TOSLINK I/O; able to be used as an ADAT port with SMUX support or SPDIF for sessions upto 192kHz. In combination with the use of an external ADAT converter, the Babyface Pro is fully capable of supporting 12 analogue inputs aswell as 12 outputs, making this the ideal choice for both live and studio multi-track use. Plug any instrument, line or high impedance into the Babyface Pro’s jack inputs 3 & 4. MIDI I/O are also available, rounding off this impressive list of features.
Intuitive, Intelligent & Seriously Impressive
The most comprehensive compact audio interface ever built Upon purchase of the Babyface Pro, you’ll also receive a copy of RME’s ‘TotalMix FX’ which is available for Windows or Mac OS X. This incredibly intuitive and user-friendly piece of software allows you to put the Babyface Pro to work in any situation, i.e mixing a guitar and vocals has never been as easy as with TotalMix FX. The FPGA-based DSP mixer adds a versatile, 3 band parametric EQ to each of the I/O’s, aswell as Reverb and Delay. The latest generation low latency AD/DA converters, alongside RME’s acclaimed ‘SteadyClock’ technology results in incredible specifications sure to meet the requirements and expectations of even the most stringent of professionals. The combined feature set of the Babyface Pro along with the sheer sonic quality and intuitive interface make this the most comprehensive and powerful compact audio interface ever built.

Neumann - KH120 A
(Pair)
PRECISION REDEFINEDThe Neumann KH 120 is their leading model and development peak for compact studio monitors. As a reference class for close-range monitoring since 2011. Enormous power reserves and a high-precision sound. The result is a maximum signal fidelity and distinctly contoured transients across the entire, neutrally designed frequency response. This allows you to precisely control tonal depth and even the finest details in the mix.
The KH 120 a two-way bi-amplified monitor with thermally protected class-AB amplifiers (80 W each). Just like the drivers, its Mathematically Modelled Dispersion™ (MMD™) waveguide is calculated at a huge level of precision. Sound distributed in a horizontally precise manner guarantees flexibility in the listening position; the narrower vertical dispersion reduces the negative effects of nearby reflections, for example, from a desk or mixing console. The finely controlled dispersion characteristics optimize reproduction in even the most challenging room set ups.

at a glance
• As a stereo system with KH 750 DSP and optional tools, controllable and alignable to the room
• Exceptional bass depth and transient response from 52 to 21k Hz
• Compact bi-amplified studio monitor with a high efficiency
• Precise dispersion, optimized for near-field applications
Ports & High Dynamics
Incredible Bass ResponseFeaturing digital switched-mode power supply and bi-amplification, the KH 120 finds sound pressure of up to 111.1 dB and as a result, retains a high-resolution and neutral representation across the whole frequency response. This gives you plenty of energy for maximum dynamics without distortion and losses. Thanks to this, the bass goes down to an impressive 52 Hz.
Despite using ports, there is no “overhang” in the bass response. The transient response stays well in control. The optimized design of the drivers provides clean sound right down to the lowest parts of the 50 Hz region. This rich foundation offers enough room to work cleanly on the mix without requiring a subwoofer. In the challenging treble range, the specially developed, powerful alloy fabric dome ensures distortion-free reproduction.
Automatic Monitor Alignment
Room CorrectionAlong with its outstanding acoustic capabilities this subwoofer offers functions for non DSP-based Neumann monitors connected (analog) to its outputs regarding the interplay using the following tools.
Automatic Monitor Alignment - Automatic room correction of stereo systems using the Neumann MA 1 measurement microphone (software for Mac/PC). Neumann.Control – Free iPad®-App for setup, operation, and room correction of stereo systems via guided and/or manual alignment.
The Neumann Philosophy
Pure & Neutral SoundThe KH 120 has been designed true to the Neumann philosophy for monitor loudspeakers. Every component, every shape, every signal and every wave motion is a consequence of this philosophy. No form or component is there without reason. There are hundreds of tangible reasons built into the KH 120, which all stand for the incredibly pure and neutral sound.
For example, the curvatures of the housing that reduce edge diffraction and the pistonic output of the bass driver which does not show any sign of harmonic distortion, even with the highest sound peaks. Some of these reasons are obvious in the KH 120. Others Neumann prefers to keep to themselves. In conjunction, all can be heard and sound professionals in both large and small studios all around the world will agree.
