2 x 2 USB 2.0 audio interface with 2 x D-PRE and 192 kHz support

Description

Record and compose music in studio quality on your laptop, iPad or even iPhone with the UR22mkII. With outstanding audio and build quality for its price class, the UR22mkII combines choice components with advanced connectivity and flexible I/O options to offer a full-on mobile production platform.

When engineering the advanced driver architecture for the UR22mkII, our veteran team of audio and driver software developers created an I/O implementation that combines flexibility with stability. And because the drivers support the ASIO, Core Audio and WDM standards, owners of the UR22mkII are free to connect to all DAW applications available on the market today that support any of these widely accepted standards. Via the CC Mode, the UR22mkII also connects easily to your iOS device, enabling a wide range of iOS audio apps to be used with it.

The included Cubase AI is a streamlined version of Steinberg’s world-famous Cubase production environment compatible with Windows and OS X. iPad owners can download Cubasis LE from the App Store for an exciting range of recording and mixing features optimized for touchscreen operation. Because Cubase can open Cubasis LE projects, you can capture musical ideas in Cubasis and transfer them to Cubase for further development, right up to full-on album productions. Quickly capture a melody when inspiration strikes on your iPad, sketch out a song on your PC laptop or MacBook and then transfer your project to a computer running Cubase in a full-blown studio to develop your musical creativity into a complete production, ready for mastering.

The UR22mkII turns your iOS device into a full-on professional music production platform. Connect to your iPad or iPhone with CC Mode using a compatible Apple camera adapter*. The power input socket supplies your UR22mkII with the electrical voltage needed to run professional equipment such as condenser microphones requiring +48 V phantom power by letting you plug in a USB power adapter or a USB battery pack. And with the included Cubasis LE version for iPad, you can start recording and mixing straight away, with the option to upgrade to the full Cubasis version via in-app purchase.

With UR22mkII, you’re ready for a huge range of recording and production scenarios, even when you’re on the move. Record vocals, guitars and other audio equipment with up to two audio channels in pristine 24/192 quality while simultaneously recording MIDI signals. And you won’t have to carry it everywhere on a silk cushion; its sturdy construction and steel casing means the UR22mkII can withstand the rough and tumble of mobile music production. On tour, at home, on stage, or at your rehearsal space: take your UR22mkII with you wherever you need ultra-reliable recording and first-rate sound.

    This is a quality unit. If you're trying to choose between this and another similar unit, look no further. I bought another brand but I wasn't happy with the processing power and stability and ended buying the UR22mk2. Very glad I did. Yamaha makes these and the quality shows. The Yamaha D-Pre preamps are clear and true, the same preamps as in higher-end models. Headphone amp is good and loud. D-A conversion sounds clear and detailed. Solid build quality, dials and switches feel strong. Neutrik connections. Separate power supply input via 5V micro-USB connection for phantom powered mics and more stable connection with the computer. The processing power of this unit is good. It seems to handle more workload than other interfaces I've been using by other brands. According to some reviews this has more processing power than some other units which have better DAC hardware. So far the stability of the connection with my Windows 10 computer is good. Handles 96KHz playback from the DAW with ease, including playing virtual synths. 192KHz is good but with a little more latency.
