Steinberg UR44C USB Audio Interface

Steinberg UR44C USB Audio Interface

Characteristics of UR44C

• Capture the most minute nuance of each sound.
• Fast, dependable connectivity ensures ultimate peace of mind.
• Easily record an entire band.
• DSP effects are latency-free.

1. Combo inputs 1/2 with Hi-Z and Peak indicators.

Great sound quality starts here, with the UR44C’s combination inputs and high-quality D-PRE mic preamps. Connect microphones via XLR connections and use the Class-A D-PRE mic preamps’ stunning, transparent sound to record your voice or acoustic instrument. Alternatively, unbalanced 6.3mm plugs can be used to directly connect Hi-Z instruments such as an electric guitar or bass.

2. Combo inputs 3/4 with line and peak indicators.

You can attach two extra microphones with XLR connections to these inputs, which also function as transparent D-PRE preamps. Alternatively, you can use them to connect line-level instruments like keyboards and electric guitars to effects units using balanced or unbalanced 6.3mm connectors.

3. USB Indicator

This indicator illuminates when the power is turned on and the UR44C is interacting with your PC or iOS device. If your PC or iOS device does not identify the UR44C, the indicator will continuously flash.

4. +48V phantom power switch with an indication for inputs 1/2 and 3/4.

The UR44C delivers +48 V phantom power on inputs 1-4 for big (studio) or small diaphragm condenser microphones. When you turn on the +48 V switch on the UR44C’s back panel, the indicator lights up.

5. Gain control knob for inputs 1–4.

Each input has its gain control, which may be used in conjunction with the peak indicator above each input socket to quickly dial in the ideal input level for your performance.

6. Phone jacks 1–2, volume controls

These 6.3mm connectors allow you to connect two pairs of stereo headphones for monitoring. Each has an individual volume control for changing the output signal level. The dspMixFx UR-C program allows you to set the mix for each headphone output.

7. Output knob and power indicator.

This control changes the output signal level of the primary outputs on the back panel. The power indicator ring illuminates when the UR44C receives power and flashes constantly if the power supply is insufficient. If this happens, you can use the provided power adapter to supply enough power to the UR44C.

32-bit/192 kHz audio resolution

The UR-C series’ industry-leading converters provide superb audio quality, with a maximum sampling rate of 192 kHz and 32-bit resolution. High-quality conversion is an essential first step toward superb audio production, and with the UR-C interfaces, Steinberg’s designers spent a significant amount of time, effort, and thorough research to choose the optimum combination of components for exceptional analog to digital conversion. In addition to the UR series’ excellent build quality, the UR-C models’ sound quality has improved thanks to meticulous component tuning and the use of 32-bit converters. These establish a new standard for precisely and transparently recording the subtlest characteristics of every recorded signal, guaranteeing that even the smallest audio information is preserved throughout the entire production process.
