Steinberg UR28M USB 2.0 Audio Interface at a Glance:
  • Two Class A "D-Pre" microphone preamplifiers with XLR/TRS jacks
  • Amazing analog circuitry
  • Includes Cubase AI6 recording software

Two Class A "D-Pre" microphone preamplifiers with XLR/TRS jacks
Steinberg's engineers teamed with Yamaha engineers to design the UR22. They used the acclaimed Class A "D-Pre" design, featuring advanced, inverted Darlington circuits, for an exceptionally smooth and detailed performance. The Steinberg UR22 features two of these microphone preamplifiers, giving you plenty of inputs to mike an entire band at once. What's more, each channel features an XLR/TRS combo jack, so you can easily track line-level gear alongside your microphones. There's even a hi-Z switch on the front-panel for running a guitar or bass in direct.

Amazing analog circuitry
True discrete Class A preamp circuitry makes the Steinberg UR22 stand out, particularly among USB audio interfaces at its price point. Wait till you hear the astonishing sound quality the UR22 has to offer! This fantastic pair of preamps takes desktop recording to a whole new level. You also get phantom power on each channel to run your favorite condenser microphones.

Includes Cubase AI6 recording software
Get started making music just as soon as you pull your Steinberg UR22 out of the box. You get powerful Cubase AI6 software included, for up to 32 audio tracks and up to 48 MIDI tracks. Based on the same core technologies as the Steinberg Cubase advanced music production system, Cubase AI offers great tools for composition, recording, editing and mixing. Cubase AI6 also comes with VST effects, VST3 plug-ins, and tons of drum loops. It's an excellent way to step into the production power of Cubase.

I have to say it's the most personal order I've ever made from the pre-ship phone call, to the email, and finally the candy in the box. Thanks! I don't think I could beat the customer service even in a local shop

Sweetwater Advice

Jake Wilson
The UR22 is the best-sounding portable interface I've used. The analog D-Pre mic preamps sound awesome, and really set it apart from the crowd.
