Loopback functionality for easy live internet streaming: There are certain situations, such as podcasting, where you don’t need a ton of inputs but still want great sound and conversion. Steinberg had this in mind when they designed the Steinberg UR12 Portable USB Interface with a convenient loopback function specifically for podcasting and other internet streaming activities. Loopback is a common function of most internet streaming programs, when it’s active it merges your mic or any other input signals with the output from your DAW or other playback software and then sends the merged signal back to your computer for great live streaming audio.

Class A D-PRE microphone preamp: Steinberg’s engineers teamed with Yamaha engineers to design the UR12. They used the acclaimed Class A D-PRE design, featuring advanced, inverted Darlington circuits, for an exceptionally smooth and detailed performance. The Steinberg UR12 features a single microphone preamplifier with XLR input and a TRS line level input, so you can easily track line-level as well as your microphones.

Amazing analog circuitry: True discrete Class A preamp circuitry makes the Steinberg UR12 Portable USB Interface stand out, particularly among USB audio interfaces at its price point. Wait till you hear the astonishing sound quality the UR12 has to offer! This preamp takes desktop recording to a whole new level. You also get phantom power to run your favorite condenser microphones. And to make sure you have consistent and ample power for phantom powering mics and for recording stability, Steinberg added a five volt DC USB port to the UR12 so that you can connect any standard USB power.

Includes Cubase AI recording software: Get started making music just as soon as you pull your Steinberg UR12 out of the box. You get powerful Cubase AI software included, for up to 32 audio tracks and up to 48 MIDI tracks. Based on the same core technologies as the Steinberg Cubase advanced music production system, Cubase AI offers great tools for composition, recording, editing and mixing. Cubase AI also comes with VST effects, VST3 plug-ins, and tons of drum loops. It’s an excellent way to step into the production power of Cubase.
