Protect your gear
Gold Coverage Protection
Gold Coverage goes above and beyond the manufacturer's warranty to protect your gear from unexpected breakdowns, accidental damage from handling and failures. This plan covers your product for one, two, three or up to five years from your date of purchase, costs just pennies per day and gives you a complete "no-worry" solution for protecting your investment.
Gold Coverage Includes:
- Unexpected and unintentional spills, drops and cracks
- Normal wear and tear
- Power surges
- Dust, internal heat and humidity
Other plan features include:
- For products over $200, No Lemon Policy applies. If it fails for the same defect 3 times, it is replaced on the 4th breakdown. (Does not apply to failures due to drops, spills, and cracks)
- For products under $200 experiencing the above failures, a Musician's Friend gift card will be issued for the full price of the product + tax.
- Shipping fees covered if required for repair or replacement
- Plans are transferable in the event merchandise is sold
- Plans are renewable on new gear
*Limitations and exclusions apply. See terms and conditions (Opens in new window) for program details

24-channel 192kHz bus-powered professional USB 2.0 audio interface.
Precision Design and Performance for Portable Recording
When the original Babyface Pro was released, it reinforced RME’s commitment to superior craftsmanship—not only in audio circuit and driver development, but also in mechanical design. Built from a block of precision-machined aluminum, it featured advanced analog and digital circuitry with innovative power-saving technology for clean performance with no compromise in level, noise or distortion.Upgraded Features in the Babyface Pro FS
The Babyface Pro FS brings major improvements, including a +19/+4dBu switch for better SNR with active monitors, the full SteadyClock FS circuit from the ADI-2 Pro FS, and enhanced headphone output performance. Mic input SNR has been improved, THD reduced and latency cut even further—while maintaining the same low power consumption. A built-in K-slot adds theft protection for added peace of mind.ADI-2 Series Headphone Output Power
The dual headphone outputs—TRS and mini jack—each use independent driver stages, offering optimal matching for low- and high-impedance headphones. The 3.5 mm TRS output now delivers 90 mW of power, with THD reduced by up to 10 dB and output impedance lowered from 2 ohms to just 0.1 ohms.Full-Range Capture With Pro-Level I/O
RME’s integrated XLR sockets save space while preserving full connectivity. Digitally controlled mic preamps offer 48V phantom power and a 76 dB gain range in 1 dB steps, plus a relay-driven PAD and excellent EIN specs. A TOSLINK I/O port supports ADAT and SPDIF up to 192kHz, and the unit supports up to 12 analog inputs and outputs when expanded via ADAT.More Pro-Level Performance With SteadyClock FS
The Babyface Pro FS features RME’s SteadyClock FS technology for ultra-low jitter and high clock stability. This ensures digital signal integrity and enhanced soundstage depth and clarity. Whether converting digital formats or monitoring high-res playback, SteadyClock FS guarantees clean, accurate signal transmission.Mixing and Routing With TotalMix FX and TotalMix Remote
With TotalMix FX, Babyface Pro FS offers complete routing and submix control across all inputs and outputs, plus a Control Room section for advanced monitoring setups. Built-in DSP includes EQ, reverb and delay. Use the iOS app or TotalMix Remote to wirelessly control sessions via Mac, PC or tablet—ideal for studio or live workflows.Easy to Use and Perfectly Stable
The Babyface Pro FS offers intuitive access to all functions through its clean interface. Every circuit has been tuned for optimal audio integrity, delivering accurate signal transfer with nothing added or taken away. It’s ready to meet professional demands in a highly portable, bus-powered design.RME USB With Industry-Leading Latency and Stability
RME pioneered pro-grade multichannel USB 2.0 performance and continues to lead with stable, up-to-date driver support. Because RME develops its own interface core, updates and compatibility with modern OS platforms are fast and reliable—no third-party delays or interruptions.Included Software Bundle for Production and Performance
The Babyface Pro FS includes a powerful software bundle to get you creating right away:• Ozone 10 Elements – Full license, all-in-one mastering tool
• True Sound Drum Pack Sampler – Premium drum sound collection (ZIP file)
