A Message From the
Development Team
Thank you for choosing the UR22 USB Audio
Interface.
The UR22 neatly integrates essential music
production functionality into one compact, durable
device. Although it is small and portable, the UR22
has been designed to deliver sound quality on a par
with high-end models. A major contributor to that
outstanding sound is the “D-PRE.”
From parts selection to circuit design, every aspect
of the “D-PRE” has been painstakingly engineered
for optimum performance. Smoothly extended
highs, detailed midrange, and fat, punchy lows are
delivered with sublime balance and quality.
Introduced in the Yamaha n12 and n8 digital mixing
studios and then implemented in the Steinberg
MR816 series and UR28M/UR824 audio interfaces,
the “D-PRE” has become a standard with musicians
and engineers who are serious about their sound.
The UR22 makes that same technology and quality
available to a wider spectrum of artists and
engineers, in a broader range of music production
environments.
Of course a great microphone preamplifier is only
part of the story. The same quality must extend right
through to the signal that feeds the monitor
speakers for truly high-performance music
production capability. The UR22 production team
expended an enormous amount of energy on
achieving that goal, with emphasis on ensuring the
best possible spatial imaging: left to right, near to
far, loud to soft … every nuance of the sound had to
be detailed and clear. There could be no shortcuts
or compromises, which is why we also provided
support for 192 kHz sampling, but the results are
thoroughly satisfying.
There are quite a few features that add versatility to
the unit’s extraordinary sound as well: a MIDI
interface, the ability to simultaneously use two
phantom-powered microphones even though the
UR22 itself is USB bus powered, plus compact
portability with rugged durability.
Whether you’re just beginning on your musical
journey or are already a seasoned pro, we’re
confident that the UR22 will contribute to your
creative output. Your success is our pride and
pleasure.
