Steinberg UR12B 2-in/2-out USB Audio Interface

Steinberg's ultra-portable UR12B USB interface combines the amazing sound quality of discrete analog circuitry with the ease of mobile portability. Featuring Steinberg's celebrated D-PRE microphone preamp, the UR12B gives you breathtaking Class A analog preamp circuitry anywhere you go. You'll love the cross-platform compatibility that lets you record crystal clear 24-bit/192kHz sample rates using iOS, Mac, or PC.

Loopback functionality for easy live internet streaming

There are certain situations, such as podcasting, where you don't need a ton of inputs but still want great sound and conversion. Steinberg had this in mind when they designed the UR12B with a convenient loopback function specifically for podcasting and other internet streaming activities. Loopback is a common function of most internet streaming programs, when it's active it merges your mic or any other input signals with the output from your DAW or other playback software and then sends the merged signal back to your computer for great live streaming audio.

Class A D-PRE microphone preamp

Steinberg's engineers teamed with Yamaha engineers to design the UR12B. They used the acclaimed Class A D-PRE design, featuring advanced, inverted Darlington circuits, for an exceptionally smooth and detailed performance. The Steinberg UR12B features a single microphone preamplifier with XLR input and a TRS line-level input, so you can easily track line-level as well as your microphones.

Amazing analog circuitry

True discrete Class A preamp circuitry makes the Steinberg UR12B stand out, particularly among USB audio interfaces at its price point. Wait till you hear the astonishing sound quality the UR12B has to offer! This preamp takes desktop recording to a whole new level. You also get phantom power to run your favorite condenser microphones. And to make sure you have consistent and ample power for phantom powering mics and for recording stability, Steinberg added a five volt DC USB port to the UR12B so that you can connect any standard USB power.

Includes Cubase AI recording software

Get started making music just as soon as you pull your Steinberg UR12B out of the box. You get powerful Cubase AI software included, for up to 32 audio tracks and up to 48 MIDI tracks.
