GENERAL FEATURES
RND Transfomer
The UR-RT series features switchable Rupert Neve Designs (RND) transformers on the front inputs, adding exceptional musicality, expressiveness and rich harmonics for the most professional sound. The name Rupert Neve is inextricably linked with outstanding quality and the inclusion of RND transformers delivers legendary, high-end studio sound from real hardware, a landmark development for mobile audio interfaces.
24-bit/192 kHz audio resolution
The premium converters used in the UR-RT-series deliver great audio quality, thanks to a maximum sampling rate of 192 kHz with 24-bit resolution. High-quality conversion is a crucial first step for any audio production and, with the UR-RT interfaces, Steinberg’s designers researched the best combination of components for optimized analog to digital conversion.
High-speed USB 2.0
UR-RT interfaces feature high speed USB 2.0, which provides fast, reliable and seamless connectivity to Mac and PC computers, iPads and iPhones. Together with the enhanced low latency of our SSP2 chip and the latest drivers, the UR-RT series gives you peace of mind wherever you are recording.
Ultra-rugged build
The robust metal casing and exceptional build quality of UR-RT interfaces make them rugged enough to withstand all the rigors of the road. Whether you are location recording or just moving your gear from one place to another, you don't need to worry about the risk of damage to your interface.
Latency-free monitoring with DSP effects
The built-in DSP of UR-RT interfaces provide zero-latency monitoring with effects for every DAW, including straightforward control of all routings and settings. Powered by Yamaha’s custom-designed SSP2 DSP chip, our dspMixFx technology brings many benefits, including latency-free monitoring, the highly acclaimed REV-X reverb, the Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip and Guitar Amp Classics for users of any DAW.
Class-A D-PRE mic preamps
The UR-RT series features Yamaha’s highly acclaimed D-PRE preamps, offering recording quality unmatched in this price class. D-PRE preamps deliver beautifully transparent and detailed sound, with remarkably detailed high end, rich low frequencies and exceptional dynamic response. Praised by industry professionals and media alike, D-PRE is a very special, class-leading preamp.
Compatible with all major audio software
Our UR-RT interfaces are compatible with all major audio software that supports the ASIO, Core Audio or WDM standard, providing a fully-integrated, DSP-based monitoring setup wherever you are and with whichever DAW you use. Integrating seamlessly with Cubase and almost any other DAW, UR-RT interfaces deliver latency-free monitoring with DSP-powered FX, via the onboard SSP2 DSP chip and latest dspMixFx technology.
MIDI input and output
All UR-RT audio interfaces are equipped with a MIDI I/O port to connect any MIDI device, making them extremely flexible for studio recording. With many studios and musicians still using MIDI input devices, classic sound modules, samplers and more, the MIDI I/O on the UR-RT series means you can combine high-quality audio interface technology with any MIDI device to make your sound just as you want it.
Loopback function for streaming
The Loopback function of the UR-RT interfaces offers an easy way to stream performances live to the Internet. Often used by hosts of live online broadcasts, when the function is active, incoming audio signals to the UR-RT (such as microphone, guitar or line source) are merged with the signal coming from audio playback software like Cubase or another DAW inside the computer.
iOS ready via CC Mode
You can combine UR-RT units with an audio application like Steinberg’s Cubasis for iPhone and iPad, giving you a fully mobile audio recording solution. All UR-RT interfaces automatically switch to Class Compliant (CC) mode when connected to an iOS device, providing an effortlessly intuitive, ultra-portable production experience.
