  • Amazing analog circuitry
  • Built-in DSP makes tracking easy
  • Digital monitoring convenience

Amazing analog circuitry
Eight truly discrete Class A preamp circuitry makes the Steinberg UR824 stand out, giving you amazing sound quality and wide dynamic range. Wait till you hear the astonishing sound quality the UR824 has to offer! Each of these microphone preamplifiers features +48V phantom power, so you can hook up any microphone in your collection. More over, the UR824 features XLR combo jacks, so you can plug in outboard gear and guitars as well.

Built-in DSP makes tracking easy
Steinberg knows that dull and lifeless monitor mixes lead to dull and lifeless performances. That's why they gave the UR824 powerful built-in DSP functions. In addition to a software-controlled DSP monitor mixer, you also get eight dedicated DSP channel strips allow you to dial in dynamics and EQ processing. On top of that, the UR824 features a DSP master REV-X reverb, which you can use to add dimension to the vocal mix. And since you're sure to love the sound of these DSP effects so much that you'll want to use them on everything, Steinberg also includes native VST 3 versions of the REV-X and Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip with the UR824.

Digital monitoring convenience
Steinberg's dspMixFx mixer software makes controlling the UR824's DSP effects is super easy. It also lets you create multiple monitor and send mixes. This makes the UR824 perfect for headphone mixes and outboard effects sends, allowing you to easily integrate the rest of your studio gear. What's more, the UR824 features highly accessible front-panel controls, including two headphone outputs with independent volume controls, plus an assignable master volume control.

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
