RME FireFace 400/800 FireWire Audio Interface Driver 2.66 Mac OS X. Mac OS X SL (10.6) Intel driver for Fireface 400/800, version 2.66. Supports 10.5 in 32 bit, 10.6 in 32 bit and 64 bit.. >> Product Information and Specification >> The Fireface 800 is the worlds most powerful FireWire audio interface ever. Up to 56 channels record/playback, up to 192 kHz sample rate, and true FireWire 800 sum up to an unsurpassed high-end, high performance and high speed FireWire audio interface. Since the Fireface first shipped in July 2004, the unit became the reference for FireWire audio - and still is today!

The Fireface 800 combines the latest and also proven technologies of previous RME products with the fastest FireWire technology. Analog technology of the ADI-8 converters, microphone technology of the OctaMic, TotalMix technology of the Hammerfall DSP series, years of experience in programming of efficient and reliable drivers, up to complete support from DIGICheck - only the best of the best, and even a bit more. The Fireface 800 offers the best worked out instrument input that could ever be found in an audio interface, a high power headphone output and signal-to-noise ratios of 119 dBA.

RMEs Fireface 800 is seen as reference by users and editors, when talking about FireWire audio and mobile recording.

RMEs FireWire audio offers many pro-audio features not available from other manufacturers units:

Complete real-time sample rate lock

Complete real-time sample rate control, even during playback/record

Complete start/stop control. No changed offset after reboot.

Extreme varispeed / external sync support, in all modes (even DS / QS)

Despite having a superior sync behavior (see above), the Firefaces SteadyClock provides a heavy jitter suppression even in varipitch applications.

Reduced protocol overhead, by not sending CIP (Common Isochronous Packet format) headers (AVC, mLan)

Working FireWire 800 solution

Working FireWire 800 fix for Windows XP SP2

Latency change on the fly, while ASIO is running

Latency change on the fly, while GSIF is running

Hardware-based data packet check and drop out correction

Complete real-time monitoring solution, covering all inputs and all playback channels, equaling an 28+28 channels inline console having 28 Aux sends per channel. Lots of advanced and unique features. Plus hardware based Peak/RMS metering.

Windows and Mac OS X drivers are completely identical in terms of features and functionality

Super low jitter MIDI I/O similar to PCI-based performance (1 ms)

RMEs Fireface 800 revolutionized the world of FireWire audio interfaces. Now the revolution continues: The Fireface 400 is not just the little brother of the Fireface 800 - RME FireFace 400 800 FireWire Audio Driver 2.66 Mac OS X is a completely newly designed device. RME FireFace 400 800 FireWire Audio Driver 2.66 Mac OS X is the only device in RME FireFace 400 800 FireWire Audio Driver 2.66 Mac OS X is class with active jitter suppression, stand-alone functionality, complete controllability from the front panel, highly flexible I/Os in professional quality, and an unsurpassed 648-Channel matrix router - at sample rates up to 192 kHz.

As usual, RME offer a host of sophisticated features and characteristics with the fastest Firewire technology. These include:

Two digitally controlled Mic Preamps in high-end quality

Two balanced universal inputs for line and instrument signals

SteadyClock for maximum jitter suppression and clock refresh

Simple stand-alone operation with rotary encoder and front panel display

54 Level Meter Peak/RMS, hardware-calculated

Full mobility by Bus Power support
