With the D-PRE mic preamp, the Steinberg UR22 MKII is equipped to offer a sumptuously detailed sound far beyond what is normally expected of compact interfaces in this price class.

The Steinberg UR22 MKII offers the same performance hallmarks of as its bigger siblings, the UR824 and the UR28M, such as premium-quality D-PRE preamps, switchable phantom power, a Hi-Z input for guitar and bass recording as well as 24/192 sound quality. Take it to your rehearsal space or your next gig or show — wherever you are, the Steinberg UR22 MKII provides breathtaking audio quality and reliability.

Enjoy High-Resolution Audio
The Steinberg UR22 MKII offers the same sonic precision, clarity of tone and flawless dynamics as the other members of the UR family. Hooking up the Steinberg UR22 MKII to a pair of high-quality headphones will let you listen to your music collection with a new sense of perspective. This is thanks to the incredible sonic fidelity offered by 24-bit resolution and a sample rate of up to 192kHz. Each component of the AD and DA conversion stages has been selected to offer astounding quality; simply hook up your high-quality speakers or headphones to the appropriate output on the Steinberg UR22 MKII to lend your music collection a new lease of life.

In the Club, On the Stage
Because it’s been designed to offer so much versatility, the Steinberg UR22 MKII is a perfect companion for live shows and gigs for DJs, guitarists, bands, drummers and just about any other kind of live performer. One of the most important features here is the monitoring architecture: independent headphone and output controls mean you have all your audio channels under full control. This means that, say, bands sending backing tracks to the FOH mixer have an independent headphone output for the band member operating the laptop. Guitarists needing a reliable interface for live shows can plug directly into the Hi-Z input and route the audio to a virtual amp such as the VST Amp Rack in Cubase. You can even start and stop playbacks or record loop-based tracks on the fly by connecting a MIDI footswitch to begin a hands-free recording session. And thanks to its steel casing, the Steinberg UR22 MKII can take the little knocks and scratches that are bound to happen when you take your equipment onstage.
