The Babyface Pro FS is RME's flagship compact audio interface, built for professionals who demand studio-grade performance in a portable form factor. Machined from a solid block of aluminium, it combines exceptional analog circuitry, ultra-low latency, and a comprehensive I/O set, all powered over USB with no external power supply needed.

Build Quality

Unlike the plastic shells found on most interfaces at this price point, the Babyface Pro FS is precision-manufactured from a single block of aluminium. It is built to withstand the rigours of regular travel and daily studio use without any compromise to internal components or connectors.

Audio Performance

The Babyface Pro FS delivers specifications that rival dedicated studio hardware. Mic input SNR reaches 113.7 dB, while the TRS line inputs achieve 116.3 dB (120 dBA). THD on the line inputs has been improved by 8 dB over the previous generation, and the AD converter runs at just 5 samples latency, with 7 samples on the DA side.

Headphone Outputs

Two dedicated headphone outputs, a 6.3mm TRS jack and a 3.5mm TRS jack, run completely separate driver stages so they can each be optimised independently for low and high impedance headphones. The 3.5mm output delivers 90 mW with an output impedance of just 0.1 Ohm, using the same op-amps as RME's flagship ADI-2 Pro.

Preamps and Inputs

The two XLR mic inputs feature digitally controlled preamps with a 76 dB gain range (adjustable in 1 dB steps), individually switchable 48V phantom power, and a relay-driven PAD for overload protection. Inputs 3 and 4 are instrument/line jacks (1 MOhm impedance), so you can plug a guitar straight in without a DI box.

SteadyClock FS

The Babyface Pro FS incorporates RME's full SteadyClock FS circuit, the same technology used in the ADI-2 Pro FS, providing jitter suppression exceeding 50 dB at 2.4 kHz across all clock sources. This translates to a wider, more accurate stereo image and greater clarity throughout a mix.

TotalMix FX

Every Babyface Pro FS ships with TotalMix FX, RME's FPGA-based real-time mixing software for Windows, Mac, and iOS. It allows fully independent routing of every input and playback channel to any output, with per-channel 3-band parametric EQ, reverb, and echo effects. TotalMix Remote extends this via Wi-Fi, letting you control the interface from a tablet anywhere in the studio.

Drivers and Long-Term Support

RME develops its own driver stack rather than relying on third-party chipsets, which means driver updates follow new OS versions quickly, including Apple Silicon support. RME's track record of long-term software support means buying one is a long-term investment rather than a product that becomes obsolete within a few years.

2. Contact our Customer Services Team on 02476 369898 (or e-mail cs@inta-audio.com). We will then send you an RMA number and returns form which needs to be completed and sent back with the returned item(s).

3. (If the order has been unpacked) re-package it to ensure that it is being returned in its original condition. Please make sure all items relating to the product are returned, including manuals and cables.

4. When returning an item please obtain a ‘proof of postage’ receipt from the Courier.


Returned items must be mailed within 10 days of when the RMA Number has been issued. Items received with a post date 30 days after your requested return will NOT be eligible for refund.

Please note: Our returns policy is quite straightforward but there are a number of conditions that we ask our customers to comply with before applying:

1. It is your responsibility to request a return. If you don’t tell us you want to make a return, we don’t know. Once you do tell us, we will do everything we can to action it.

2. If you have not requested a return within 28 days of receiving an order, we will have assumed that you are intending to keep it and we will not authorise a return.

3. We always refund the payment according to how the original purchase was made and aim to do so within 72hrs of the return being received by us.

4. Returned goods are liable for a restocking fee of 15% towards handling and repackaging if the order is not returned in its original, unopened packaging. This charge will be subject to our inspection of the returned goods.

5. Delivery charges will not be refunded unless the delivered goods are faulty.

6. Replacement products are dispatched immediately after the returned goods have been received and accepted by Inta Audio.
