Steinberg UR22C

Yamaha-owned Steinberg pairs the UR22C with Cubase AI — a stripped-down but functional version of their professional DAW. The D-PRE mic preamps are borrowed from Yamaha's mixing console line, delivering a clean, transparent sound. 32-bit/192kHz conversion, USB-C with USB 3.0 speeds for lower latency, and a rugged metal chassis that survives being thrown in a backpack. For Cubase users, the tight integration and included DSP effects make it the natural choice.
