32-bit/192 kHz Audio Resolution

The UR22C 2x2 Audio Interface delivers exceptional audio quality, thanks to a maximum sampling rate of 192 kHz with 32-bit resolution. High-quality conversion is a crucial first step to a great audio production and Steinberg’s designers invested a huge amount of time, effort and meticulous research in choosing the very best combination of components for outstanding analog to digital conversion.

Latency-Free Monitoring with DSP Effects

With built-in DSPs, the Steinberg UR22C provides zero-latency monitoring with effects for every DAW, with straightforward control of all routings and settings.

Superspeed USB 3.1 with USB-C

The Steinberg UR22C Interface features the USB 3.1 Gen 1 SuperSpeed standard, which provides fast, reliable and seamless connectivity to Mac and PC computers, as well as iOS devices. Together with the enhanced low latency, this audio interface gives you peace of mind wherever you are recording. Also being compatible with USB 2.0 standard, you can enjoy the benefits of enhanced low latency with computers that do not provide a USB 3.0 connection.

Class-A D-PRE Mic Preamps

The UR-C series Audio Interface features Yamaha’s highly acclaimed D-PRE preamps that deliver truly transparent and beautifully detailed sound. A sumptuously detailed high end, immaculate dynamic response and rich, rounded low frequencies are the hallmarks of D-PRE. Plus, to faithfully capture and replay that warm, transparent sound, the UR-Cs feature AD and DA conversion stages with up to 32-bit/192 kHz resolution.

Compatible with All Major Audio Software

The Steinberg UR22C is compatible with all major audio software supporting the ASIO, Core Audio or WDM standard, providing a fully integrated, DSP-based monitoring setup wherever you are and with whichever DAW you use.

Cubase AI, Cubasis LE and dspMixFX Included

Combining audio and MIDI recording, editing, mixing and scoring in a single, integrated software package, Cubase AI is the perfect entry into the world of computer-based music production. Steinberg UR22C’s seamless integration with iPad is enhanced by the inclusion of Cubasis LE, for creating professional music productions on your iPad. Moreover, the dspMixFx Mixing Application provides zero-latency monitoring with effects for every DAW with straightforward control of all routings and settings.

Loopback Function for Streaming

The Loopback function of the UR22C USB Audio Interface offers an easy way of streaming performances live to the Internet. Often used by hosts of live online broadcasts, when the function is active, incoming audio signals to the interface (such as microphone, guitar or line source) are merged with the signal coming from audio playback software like Cubase or another DAW inside the computer. The merged signal will then be sent back to the computer for online streaming via your software of choice. With the onboard effects of the interface you can tweak your sound, for example adding some reverb when doing online karaoke.

iOS Ready via CC Mode

Combining this interface with an iOS audio application such as Steinberg’s Cubasis for iPad, provides you with a fully mobile audio recording solution. It automatically switches to Class Compliant (CC) mode when connected to an iPad or iPhone and can even be bus powered by the USB-C equipped iPad Pro models. With Steinberg’s Cubasis iPad app or other iOS audio apps, the UR-C series interfaces offer an effortlessly intuitive production experience on iPad or iPhone.

Rugged Build

Built to the most exacting standards, with a robust metal casing, the Steinberg UR22C USB Audio Interface is rugged enough to withstand all the rigors of the road. Location recording, or just transporting your gear from one place to another, always comes with the risk of bumps, bangs, drops or scrapes. The exceptional build quality of this interface means you don’t need to worry about the journey — it’s tough enough to ensure that, when you set up to record, the high-quality internal components will work perfectly every time.

MIDI Input and Output

This audio interface is equipped with a MIDI I/O port to connect any MIDI device, making it extremely flexible for studio recording. Many studios and musicians still use MIDI input devices, classic sound modules, samplers and more as an integral part of their signature sound.
