Thanks to the DSP-based TotalMix mixers, all 18 input and playback channels can be routed and mixed to any of the 18 physical outputs. This makes the Fireface 400 an indispensable tool for monitoring, with up to 9 completely independent stereo sub-mixes possible. Copy/paste of routings, fader grouping and the unique matrix window represent just some of the other outstanding features. All mix functions can be remotely controlled via MIDI using any Mackie-compatible controller.

The 8 channels from the ADAT optical I/O can be used simultaneously with the analog channels.
The coaxial SPDIF I/O is fully AES/EBU compatible (as always with RME) and can operate up to 192 kHz.
The optical SPDIF, alternatively provided via the ADAT I/O, also operates up to 192kHz.
There are also a word clock in- and output (BNC), plus two low jitter, high-speed MIDI in/outs (using 5-pin DINs).
