Topic: Functional differences between Fireface UFX II hardware revisions

The manual (fface_ufx2_e.pdf, version 2.1 from Jan 2024) says this on page 125:

This manual describes the Fireface UFX II hardware revision 7. Some of the described features and functions are not available in earlier revisions.

I seem to have Rev E so I wonder what those unavailable features are.

Most likely new features which came with the UFX III (vs UFX+).

Re: Functional differences between Fireface UFX II hardware revisions

Thank you for the clarification!

To be clear, I'm very happy with the revision I bought in early 2022 with the feature set available then. This is more a matter of curiosity and slight confusion as the new manual is for an ever-so-slightly different product than the one I have, while the model name is still the same. Given that the product is available since 2017, I expect more people will have the same question.

FWIW, I see Room EQ in TotalMix when I connect my UFX II Rev E and it seems to work.

From the links you posted, it's clear that SteadyClock FS is indeed an improvement available from Rev 7 onwards.
