General

Don't let the compact dimensions of the Steinberg UR12 fool you - you're dealing with a remarkably comprehensive audio interface. Equipped with a class-D preamp with phantom power, it enables you to make high-quality recordings. A second input - with extra high impedance to make the most of your guitar sound - allows for either a guitar or a line source. The UR12 has a sturdy metal housing that makes it ideal for mobile use, and is a great match for your Cubase software.

The Steinberg UR12: Using the audio interface

The UR12 boasts a sample rate of 192 kHz and a bit rate of 24 bits, which means you're able to make professional recordings, using only this interface, a computer and a decent microphone. The interface is USB-powered, so you don't need a separate power supply, and is equipped with a stereo line output and a separate headphone output. Input signals can be monitored without latency thanks to a direct-monitor function. The Steinberg UR12 comes with an LE edition of Cubase, so you can get started right away.

Goed apparaat op Linux, maar de drivers op windows zijn toch wel erg treurig. Ze gaan kapot bij elke update en de drivers zelf kunnen maanden duren voor deze is gepatchd op de website.
Als de driver niet goed werkt valt het geluid tijdig uit en eventuele programma's die het geluid afspelen stotteren.
Ik raad af dit product te halen als je van plan bent die op een windows machine te gebruiken.

Do not buy this product!

I bought this audio interface because I wanted a simple solution for my home studio. Easy to use, I want to record demos, I don´t want to spend a lot of time with setup and faults.

I´ve spent months trying to get this crappy bundle to work. I´ve tried to Contact Steinberg support but they took 4 weeks to answer(!), and then they only had a standard answer (giving me links to the manuals I´ve already told them didn´t help...).

I´ve setup my system according to the manual and tutorial videos, but there is no sound of audio. And no help from Steinberg.

Do yourself a favor and buy interfaces from other manufacturers. Avoid Steinberg, avoid Cubase!

gekocht om met cubase te werken.
alles werkte instant.
mooi geluid.
latency met 30 tracks rond 20 30 ms.
ik gebruik het enkel als geluidskaart. niet als input voor gitaar of micro.

Top interface voor wie "ook" on the go wil opnemen. Geluid is echt heel erg goed! Erg fijn is dat Cubase LE meegeleverd wordt ( download) . Zeer goede starters DAW! Nog een pluspunt. Solide apparaat. Metalen behuizing, stevige knoppen. Build to last!

Bizarre après config. des 2 entrées en mono et sortie en stéréo, le son sort bien sur les HP du PC mais le son de l'entrée 2 (guitare) ne s'enregistre pas sur cubase AI9 alors que l'entrée 1 micro s'enregistre.
la carte son en elle même pour moi qui ne suis pas un pro. me suffit mais config de cubase difficile donc.

Punto apparaatje,

Het enige waar ik tegen aan liep is het gebruik met garageband.

Maar na wat vogelen en ku*ten werkt hij bijna perfect.

Het is een degelijke, uitgebreide interface voor de prijs.
Een nadeel is dat hij geen uit-knop heeft en de lampjes ietwat fel zijn voor de mensen die graag in het donker werken, zoals ik.
De RCA output aan de achterkant is wel erg gunstig voor mijn doeleinden.
De bestelling was snel. Op Bax-Shop is niks negatiefs aan te merken.

Ik zocht een eenvoudige, en gebruiksvriendelijk "apparaat" waarin ik de microfoon en headphone kon
aansluiten. En deze voldoet zeker.
Het geluidsweergave is veeeeel beter dan mijn interne geluidskaart.
Voor opnemen van zang (home studiogebruik) gaat ook prima. Ik gebruik daarvoor Audacity.
Het enige minpunt vind ik dat er geen regelbare "effecten" zijn.

NAMM 2016: IK Multimedia's iKlip A/V - Top Sound Quality on Your Smartphone

Thursday 7 January 2016 By Richard | Bax Music

These days, films can be recorded entirely on smartphones, and some YouTubers are more famous than television presenters. The gap between professionals and amateurs is becoming smaller. Cameras on today's smartphones offer excellent image quality that is getting harder and harder to distinguish from 'the real thing'. Sound quality on smartphones, on the other hand, is an area that is still in need of some improvement. That's where the iKlip A/V from IK Multimedia comes in. It's a broadcast mount with an integrated microphone preamp that will add professional-quality sound to your smartphone footage.
