A 2-in/2-out interface that connects over SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) on a USB-C port while staying backward-compatible with USB 2.0. Two combo XLR/TRS inputs use Yamaha's D-PRE Class-A preamps, with a Hi-Z switch on input 2 for guitar or bass. Two rear 1/4-inch line outputs and a front 1/4-inch headphone jack handle monitoring, and 5-pin DIN MIDI In and Out connect external instruments. A separate Micro-USB +5V input adds power for mobile use.

Notes & Compatibility
2×2 USB-C interface with D-PRE Class-A preamps and 32-bit/192kHz conversion. Includes 5-pin DIN MIDI In/Out. A separate Micro-USB ‘+5V DC IN’ supplies power when bus power is insufficient (e.g., when used with iOS). Main USB-C port is SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.2 Gen 1), USB 2.0 compatible. Steinberg ships a USB-C to USB-A cable. On a USB 2.0 port it runs in High-Speed mode with narrower bandwidth but no lost functions. The +5V DC IN wants 0.9 A or more from a USB power adapter or power bank, and Steinberg says an iOS device always needs it (plus Apple’s adapter). One +48V switch feeds phantom power to both XLR inputs. The main outs take balanced or unbalanced 1/4-inch plugs.
