Overview
Steinberg designed the UR22C as a rugged USB audio interface for mobile production, with D-PRE preamps for condenser and dynamic microphones and a separate input for guitar. Onboard MIDI I/O and DSP effects round out the connections.
Studio-style recording away from the desk is the purpose here, powered straight from the USB port. Two channels cover a vocalist with a guitar, but not a band tracking together.
Who it's for
Singer-songwriters and producers who want a portable USB-powered interface for the desk or the road. Groups tracking several instruments together need a unit with more input channels.
Pros and cons
- Two onboard D-PRE preamps
- Bus powered over USB
- MIDI in and out on board
- Hi-fi guitar input
- Two input channels only
- Output connector types not specified
- Phantom power not mentioned
Performance notes
The preamps and converters set the quality of the recorded signal, and the onboard DSP effects process audio inside the interface rather than on the computer. Power arrives over the USB connection, so cable and port quality matter more than a wall supply. Sample rate tops out at the listed maximum.
