STEINBERG / AXR4U

STEINBERG's flagship model audio interface with USB 3.0 (Type-C). Comes with a 3-year Sound House warranty!

■Audio interface
■USB 3.0 (Type-C)

After clearing the functions, input/output, and expandability required for professional recording, it reaches a new dimension of sound quality with 32-bit integer / 384 kHz. The hybrid microphone preamp equipped with Rupert Neve Designs SILK emulation allows for free sound expression from crystal clear tones to musical saturation. SSPLL that achieves ultra-low jitter, monitoring and effects by DSP - AXR4 is an audio interface that leads music production into a new era.

■32-bit integer / 384 kHz
AXR4's cutting-edge converter achieves unprecedented sound quality as a multi-channel audio I/O with a sampling rate of 384 kHz and 32-bit integer format.

■AXR hybrid microphone preamp
A microphone preamp with the same method as Yamaha's latest digital mixer RIVAGE PM10. The combination of clean and natural analog sound and Rupert Neve Designs SILK emulation allows for a wide range of tracking.

■Rupert Neve Designs SILK
The SILK processing installed in Rupert Neve Designs' high-end analog equipment is accurately modeled using Yamaha's VCM technology. It is equipped with Red / Blue modes with different characteristics.

■SSPLL Jitter Reduction
Cutting-edge technology that minimizes jitter, which is an important issue in building professional audio systems.

■dspMixFx AXR Mixing Software
The built-in DSP and dspMixFx AXR matrix mixer application provide latency-free monitoring and effects, and free routing regardless of the DAW used.

■USB 3.0 (Type-C)
USB 3.1 Gen 1 SuperSpeed support enables high-speed data transfer with devices.

■Cubase AI Bundle
AXR4 comes with a Cubase AI download version. With a free DAW equipped with the same audio engine as the cutting-edge Cubase Pro, you can start recording studio quality immediately after purchase.

■28 x 24 matrix mixer
The custom-made DSPX chip allows you to build a latency-free system using a 28 x 24 matrix mixer, such as routing input signals and DAW outputs to the mix bus.

With the dspMixFx AXR application installed on your Mac, you can control all settings in windows such as the mixer, matrix mixer, and meter, and always keep track of levels and routing status. These settings can be saved as scenes and recalled freely later.

■Next-generation professional sound
AXR4 was born from a thorough pursuit of what is the best audio interface for studios, producers, and professional musicians.

Various connections and high-speed data throughput required for high-end setups. Four hybrid microphone preamps selectable for each channel, from pure and clean inputs to musical coloration with SILK.

8 x TRS line inputs and outputs, 2 x 8ch ADAT / S/PIDF (or 8ch ADAT + 8ch AES/EBU) for a total of 28 inputs and 24 outputs, word clock, MIDI input and output, and 2 x independent headphone outputs.

And it allows recording and playback up to 32-bit integer and 384 kHz, far exceeding what's possible with existing audio interfaces.
