1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing RME’s Babyface Pro FS. This unique portable desktop audio interface

The latest Plug and Play technology guarantees a simple installation, even for the inexperi-

enced user. Numerous unique features put the Babyface Pro FS at the very top of the range of

computer-based audio interfaces.

The package contains drivers for Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 and Mac OS X x86 (Intel).

Our high-performance philosophy guarantees maximum system performance by executing as
