Steinberg Audio Interfaces

Welcome the latest audio interfaces from Steinberg, the 2-channel UR-RT2 and the 4-channel UR-RT4. The Steinberg UR-RT2 and UR-RT4 combine the acclaimed D-PRE Class A preamps with switchable Rupert Neve Designs input transformers to deliver a rich musical sound with enhanced harmonics. The UR-RT2 and UR-RT4 offer zero-latency monitoring with effects using dspMixFx software and the interface's integrated SSP2 DSP. Included is the VST 3 Basic FX Suite with the Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip, REV-X reverb, and Guitar Amp Classics plug-ins. You also get Cubase AI DAW software for Mac/PC and Cubasis LE for iPad. But it's the Rupert Neve transformers that make the Steinberg UR-RT4 and UR-RT2 interfaces truly special. Rupert Neve is a legendary pro audio designer. The UR-RT2 and UR-RT4 add Neve's renowned sound quality to a compact 24-bit/192kHz USB 2.0 interface that offers flexible I/O, rugged build quality, and outstanding value.

Steinberg is a company that's best known for its audio software suites, Cubase and Nuendo. Naturally, taking full advantage of those kinds of applications means being well-equipped on the hardware end as well. That's where Steinberg audio interfaces come into play. They deliver the same professional quality as Steinberg's digital tools, and they give you the link you need to use those tools with your favorite instruments, MIDI controllers and other physical gear. In fact, with the digital focus of modern recording setups, audio interfaces like these have come to belong on a studio's list of must-have equipment.

Choosing the right interface depends on your needs. For example, if you're building a hobby studio at home and staying on-budget is a priority, take a look at the UR12, UR22 and UR44 USB interfaces. They're as affordable as they are powerful, which is good news if you're new to the pro audio scene. You'll also like these models if you're building a mobile studio, since they're fairly compact and portable. The UR22 and UR44 are even available with bundled Cubase software, so you can get up and running faster and easier.

For a professional studio, your best options sit at the higher end of the Steinberg roster: the UR28M and the top-of-the-line UR824. The UR28M is a desktop model with a stylish look and the performance to back it up. When space is at a premium, you'll really appreciate its small footprint. On the other hand, if you've got a rack to fill and you want the best of the best, the UR824 is it. Each of these interfaces comes bundled with Cubase AI 6, a basic version of Steinberg's flagship software that gives you a good starting set of features to explore what your new interface can do from the moment you first set it up.

Whichever interface you decide to add to your studio, you can expect great results from Steinberg. They're definitely at the top of their game when it comes to all things digital, and that goes for the supporting hardware as well as the software applications themselves. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a pro: either way, there are Steinberg audio interfaces ready to keep up with you.
