RME ARC USB – The Ultimate Studio Remote Control for TotalMix FX

Looking for the ultimate control over your RME audio interface? The RME ARC USB (Advanced Remote Control) brings the full power of RME’s TotalMix FX software straight to your desk. This rugged, hardware-based USB remote control is specifically designed to speed up your studio workflow and make controlling your monitor setup more intuitive than ever.

Whether you’re a professional producer, a mastering engineer, or a discerning home studio owner, the RME ARC USB provides the tactile control you need to stay focused on the music.

Why choose the RME ARC USB?

1. Seamless integration with TotalMix FX.

The RME ARC USB is not just another MIDI controller; it is a direct physical extension of TotalMix FX, RME’s powerful routing and mixing software. Thanks to native integration, the controller communicates directly with the DSP of your RME audio interface. This means zero latency and extremely reliable operation, without having to control the software with your mouse.

2. Fully programmable to your workflow

The RME ARC features 15 freely programmable LED-lit knobs and a large, flexible rotary knob (encoder). Through TotalMix FX, you can assign more than 36 different commands to these knobs. Think essential studio functions such as:

• Dim, Mono, and Mute for your main monitors.

• Speaker Switching (switching between Main and Alternate monitors).

• Activate talkback for communication with the recording room.

• Snapshot recall to instantly switch between different mix or monitor routings.

• Customize Cue Mixes for Artists.

3. Plug-and-Play via USB

Unlike its predecessor, the ARC USB works via a standard USB 1.1 connection. This brings a huge advantage: you can connect the remote directly to any free USB port on your Mac or PC. Do you have an RME interface with a dedicated ARC USB port (such as the Fireface UFX+ or UFX III)? Then you can even connect it directly to the interface, which is ideal for stand-alone use without a computer.

Key specifications of the RME ARC USB:

• Compatibility: Works with all RME audio interfaces supported by TotalMix FX (including Fireface, Babyface, HDSPe, UCX, and UFX series).

• Buttons: 15 illuminated buttons (status instantly visible thanks to bright LEDs).

• Encoder: Large, precise rotary knob for volume adjustments and data entry.

• Power: Fully bus-powered via USB (no external power supply required).

• Durability: Solid, studio-grade housing that stays firmly on your desk.

• Extra: Includes sticker sheet to label the buttons to your own layout.
