STEINBERG / UR824

24-in, 24-out, 1U rack-mountable USB 2.0 audio interface, supporting up to 24-bit/96kHz

■Audio Interface

The UR824 is a 1U rack-mountable USB 2.0 audio interface with 24 inputs and 24 outputs, supporting up to 24-bit/96kHz. In addition to eight analog inputs and outputs (eight Neutrik TRS/XLR combo jacks and eight TRS outputs), it also features two ADAT inputs and outputs for 16 digital channels. All eight analog inputs are equipped with high-quality D-Pre microphone preamps. Delivering the high-quality sound acclaimed in the MR816, the UR824 offers exceptional audio quality. It supports 48V phantom power and features a high-impedance switch on channels 1 and 2. Each channel is equipped with a pad function, and like the UR28M, it also features two independent headphone outputs. Furthermore, it utilizes JetPLL™ technology, which eliminates jitter in the audio frequency range and improves sound quality. It also boasts excellent clock synchronization performance when connected via ADAT digital connections. Of course, it also includes a BNC connector for sending and receiving word clock signals.

Powerful DSP Engine
The UR824 is equipped with a built-in DSP engine, allowing you to create True Integrated Monitoring™ (a comfortable, latency-free monitoring environment thanks to hardware mixing) while applying built-in DSP effects to audio input signals. The DSP mixer allows you to mix up to 24 input channels into four stereo outputs, two of which can be listened to on separate headphones. You can also directly assign any stereo input to any stereo output. The DSP effects are approximately twice as powerful as the UR28M, featuring eight SSMCS processors and one REV-X processor.

Bundled with a downloadable version of Cubase AI music production software
The UR28M and UR824 come bundled with Cubase AI. Equipped with the same audio engine as Cubase, the flagship music production software boasting a top market share both in Japan and overseas, and featuring carefully selected features, this software lets you start creating music right out of the box.
