UR12 Podcast Starter Pack (WaveLab Cast and Cubase AI Included)

The robust metal casing and exceptional build quality of UR interfaces makes them rugged enough to withstand all the rigors of the road. Whether you are location recording or just moving your gear from one place to another, you don’t need to worry about the risk of damage to your interface. They are rugged enough to ensure that, when you are ready to record, they will work perfectly every time.

The premium converters used in the UR-series deliver great audio quality, thanks to a maximum sampling rate of 192 kHz with 24-bit resolution*. High-quality conversion is a crucial first step for any audio production and, with the UR interfaces, Steinberg’s designers researched the best combination of components for optimized analog to digital conversion. Alongside great build quality, the sound quality of the UR models is refined by the inclusion of 24-bit converters. These accurately capture the detail of every recorded signal, ensuring that the fidelity of sound throughout the recording process is maintained.
*UR28M only supports up to 96 kHz

The UR12 features latency-free hardware monitoring with an easy-to-use monitor source switch that lets you choose between the direct signal and the output of your host application.

The UR12 interface is compatible with all major audio software which supports the ASIO, Core Audio or WDM standard.

You can combine UR units with an audio application like Steinberg’s Cubasis for iPhone and iPad, giving you a fully mobile audio recording solution. All UR interfaces can switch to Class Compliant (CC) mode* when connected to an iOS device, providing an effortlessly intuitive, ultra-portable production experience.
* UR28M, UR824, UR44 need to be switched to CC mode manually.
