Steinberg UR22C (2019)

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.

Steinberg’s 2×2 USB-C interface with two combo XLR/TRS inputs, 1/4-inch line outs, headphone jack, 5-pin DIN MIDI, and a 5V Micro-USB power input.
