Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

RME’s Babyface Pro FS is a portable USB audio interface designed for serious tracking, monitoring, and routing work. Two separately level-controlled headphone amplifiers let two musicians monitor independently, while TotalMix FX supplies virtual mixing, flexible routing, submixing, and channel processing. SteadyClock FS is specified for ultra-low jitter and clock stability, and round-trip latency can be as low as 5 ms for virtual-instrument monitoring or vocal tracking. Its 108 x 35 x 181 mm chassis weighs 680 g.
