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.

Austrian Audio - OC818 (Studio Set) - Black
The new viennese originalThe Austrian Audio OC818 is engineered and manufactured in Austria and is Austrian Audio’s premier, professional, large diaphragm microphone. Featuring high sensitivity, low self-noise and the ability to handle everything from a whisper to extreme SPLs make it the most advanced microphone for studio, broadcast and live applications. As the unique ceramic capsule design is so consistent, any OC818 is match-paired with any other OC818, and when in cardioid mode, it can also be match-paired with any OC18, its affordable, smaller sibling. This studio set comes complete with a pop shield, shock mount and mic clip.

Bluetooth Remote for OC818
Austrian Audio - OCR8
Bluetooth adaptor for OC818 MicrophoneAustrian Audio’s OC818 is the very first multi-patterned mic to boast the world’s first wireless pattern and switching control thanks to the optional transmitter/receiver (OCR8) which is able to be swiftly attached to the rear of the mic.
This unique feature allows for a previously unheard of 255 discrete polar patterns between figure-of-eight, through all of the cardioid versions and into omnidirectional. The free control software, PolarPilot, will be available for iOS and Android. This all occurs in the analogue domain and there is no processing or conversion of the mic’s signal to digital.
