Ultra Compact with full-on audio quality
The UR12 proves how many first-class components can fit into a compact device at a very competitive price point. Its cleverly engineered capabilities give you all the I/O you need to quickly record your tracks at high quality. Just a few years ago have seemed impossible on a recording device at this price point! The acclaimed D-PRE offers a sumptuously detailed, wonderfully dynamic sound. As well as this, the second input offers access to a Hi-Z input for guitars or basses. Featuring recording in stunning 24-bit quality at 192 kHz, the UR12 offers almost unheard-of fidelity for recording in its class.
Portable and Affordable
The UR12 has been engineered to offer the maximum functionality and quality in an extremely compact design. And it also happens to be available at a very low price point. Often, smaller interfaces that are affordable for those on a tight budget mean (at best) average audio quality. This ethos has been transcended by the UR12, with its first-rate components, fantastic price/value ratio and exceedingly portable design.
iOS Connectivity
The UR12 offers a Class Compliant mode for connectivity with Apple’s iPad and iPhone. Combining the UR12 with an iOS audio application like Steinberg’s Cubasis gives you a remarkably intuitive music production experience. If you’re running your UR12 with an iOS device, just add a portable USB battery or power supply to provide the interface with the required current.
Integrate your system
The UR12 is compatible with all major audio editing, mastering and music production software supporting the ASIO, Core Audio or WDM standard.
UR12 also includes a special version of Cubase, Cubase AI, to offer a complete production environment in one package. And Cubase users also benefit from the auto-setup functionality. This handles configuration of input and output channels and buses from within Cubase, providing a uniquely integrated music production environment.
