Christian Jones Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'll ask RME this too but thought I'd see if someone here knew. I know there's a different voltage requirement in say Poland or Germany than the USA. I'm just wondering if I bought an RME audio interface from ebay from someone in Central Europe, would it work in the USA w/ the USA's different voltage requirement? Like, what if someone in Switzerland bought an RME UFX from Sweetwater and someone else in NY or Oregon bought a UFX from Sweetwater.. would Sweetwater send them each a different UFX each w/ a different voltage plug or whatever or would they both get the same exact interface? I know some appliances would need a voltage converter in this case, but is that the case with an audio interface too? Hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Since those don't use either 120v (60Hz) or 220v (50Hz), etc., either should work just fine PROVIDED you use the correct wall power supply. The unit says it needs 12-watts, 9-18v DC, with the center pin positive (+). You can find a generic one that will work just fine! Something like THIS. (You'll just need to search for one you like.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Don't know about the UFX but my UCX came with a power supply which is rated 100-240v 50/60 hz input and 12v 2amp output. However I never use it since the UCX is powered by firewire connection to the computer. I think you need the power supply if using USB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they're the same power wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they're the same power wise Regarding the Fireface UFX ... the UFX has an internal power supply and has a standard IEC power connector which can accept 100VAC to 240VAC. My UFX is an older model. I don't know whether the AC power spec's changed with the later UFX II or UFX+ models. Looks like the UCX has an external power supply. FYI, the manuals are available on the RME site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
