RME Babyface Pro FS 24-Channel Audio Interface Bundle
A 24-channel 192 kHz USB 2.0 bus-powered audio interface with improved SteadyClock FS jitter performance, lower latency at 5 samples AD and 7 samples DA, higher headphone output of 90 mW.
- Ultralow jitter and high jitter immunity with Full SteadyClock FS circuit
- 5 samples AD and 7 samples DA latency for near-instant monitoring
- Mic preamp SNR 113.7 dB and Line input SNR 116.3 dB for clean recordings
- Headphone output power increased from 70 mW to 90 mW with THD improved up to 10 dB
- Bundle includes AKG K 240 Studio headphones, XLR cable and 10-pack straps
Portable 24-Channel USB Interface Bundle
The RME Babyface Pro FS is a 24-channel USB 2.0 bus-powered audio interface bundled with AKG K 240 Studio headphones, an XLR cable and a 10-pack of straps. It suits studio and live recording setups that need a compact, portable I/O solution with dedicated XLR sockets and parallel 1/4", 3.5 mm and TRS connections. Buyers who want more storage or a different I/O count should look elsewhere.
Ultralow Jitter Clock and Improved Headphone Power
Full SteadyClock FS circuitry delivers the lowest jitter and highest jitter immunity taken from the ADI-2 Pro FS. A +19/+4 dBu output-level switch on the bottom lets users optimise preamp signal-to-noise ratio per session. The 3.5 mm headphone output now reaches 90 mW, up from 70 mW, and both headphone outputs show THD improvements up to 10 dB.
5-Sample AD / 7-Sample DA Latency at 192 kHz
Typical round-trip latency sits at 5 samples AD and 7 samples DA at 192 kHz, one-fifth of earlier designs. Mic input SNR reaches 113.7 dB, TRS line input SNR reaches 116.3 dB (120 dBA) and line-input THD improves by 8 dB. This latency figure is the single spec that decides whether the interface meets a project's real-time monitoring demands.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the Babyface Pro FS to my computer and what is the common setup mistake?
Connect via the USB 2.0 port for bus power and data; the frequent error is forgetting the +19/+4 dBu switch on the bottom, which must match your monitoring chain to avoid clipping or noise.
Which parts of the included AKG K 240 Studio headphones will need replacement over time?
The self-adjusting headband padding and velour ear pads are the wear items; no other user-serviceable components are identified for the interface or headphones.
At what sample rate does the interface reach its maximum channel count?
The 24-channel specification is supported at up to 192 kHz; running at that rate uses the full I/O capacity of the USB 2.0 connection.
