Description The UR242 offers musicians and producers far more than just a portable I/O device, or even an audio interface; the UR242 is a mobile production solution. That’s because it combines fantastic-sounding I/O and durability with advanced DSP-based FX that can be used with your DAW software, and that at a price point that is still easily affordable. Whether you’re recording on-site through a laptop or in a small home studio, the Steinberg UR242 USB audio and MIDI interface is the perfect way to achieve top-quality recordings without a room full of expensive studio equipment. Two channels powered by Class-A D-PRE mic preamps let you plug in either XLR mic cables for vocals or 1/4-inch direct in cables for instruments. Record tracks using the included Cubase digital audio workstation to mix and finalize at 24-bit/192 kHz. Utilize the included FX suite as well as your other plug-ins to shape each track to the perfect tone while enjoying zero-latency monitoring. Portability and compatibility make the Steinberg UR242 USB audio and MIDI interface a versatile and functional powerhouse. Trust in this DAI’s tough metal casing when you take it with you to record wherever the music takes you. Want to add MIDI to the mix? The UR242 has a MIDI in and out. Connect to a PC through the USB, or expand your horizons by connecting to an iPad. Though Cubase comes with this package, you can also match the UR242 with you favourite DAW.
