The Steinberg UR242 USB Audio Interface is an advanced portable production solution designed for musicians and producers. It combines fantastic-sounding I/O and durability with advanced DSP-based FX that can be used with your DAW software, and that at a price point still easily affordable.

The Steinberg UR242 USB Audio Interface is a 4 x 2 USB 2.0 Audio Interface with 2 x D-PRE and 192 kHz support & MIDI I/O. It offers the same sonic quality and functions as the previously released UR44, but a compact design with two microphone preamps rather than four makes it closer in size to the UR22.

Built to Impress
The Steinberg UR242 offers a perfect balance between three vital factors: quality, portability and cost. First-class components and integrated DSP-powered FX engineered to fit into a small yet rugged interface at an eminently affordable price point — that’s the Steinberg UR242. Record vocals, guitars, MIDI gear and other audio equipment with up to 4 audio channels at once in pristine 24/192 quality, yet without making any compromises in terms of durability: full metal casing means the Steinberg UR242 is ready for the rough and tumble of life of a mobile lifestyle. That could be between your recording studio and your hotel room, or between your home recording rig and your band’s rehearsal room: the Steinberg UR242 offers the features and quality to manage a huge range of production situations.

Full Integration with Any DAW with dspMixFx
The UR series integrates seamlessly — as you’d expect — with Cubase, yet also with just about any DAW out there. Just like the 19" rack model in the UR range, the Steinberg UR242 offers latency-free monitoring with DSP-powered FX thanks to the onboard SSP2 DSP chip and the latest dspMixFx technology. This gives you a fully integrated DSP-based monitoring setup wherever you are and with whichever DAW you use. When running with Cubase, the Steinberg UR242 no additional virtual mixer apps are required! All aspects of I/O handling and DSP management are handled directly from within Cubase. Once your Steinberg UR242 interface has been installed, Cubase detects the device and automatically embeds it into the Cubase production environment.

iPad Connectivity
Connect the Steinberg UR242 to your iPad or even iPhone thanks to the Class Compliant mode. iOS music production apps like Steinberg’s iPad-based Cubasis are a perfect way to sketch out ideas at home or on the go; then hook up the same interface to your PC or Mac to take your musical ideas to the next level.
