KORG microAUDIO 22 Key Features
High-Quality Components
The microphone and line inputs use a high-quality audio operational amplifier with a fully balanced configuration. The line inputs feature a buffer circuit that ensures low noise and distortion.
Audio support up to 24-bit / 192 kHz
The unit is powered via the USB-C port; simply connect it to your computer to start using it.
Mic/Line (Hi-Z) Inputs
The Combo jacks accept XLR or jack connectors and support balanced signals. The XLR inputs offer +48 V phantom power. A stereo link function is available, allowing both inputs to be used as a stereo pair, with gain adjusted by a single control. The outputs are on balanced TRS jacks.
Loopback Function
Allows you to use audio played from your computer for streaming, video calls, or as a sampling source in your DAW.
Direct Monitoring with Dedicated Mix
Enables zero-latency monitoring, with the ability to mix the direct signal with audio from the computer.
Integrated DSP for Dynamic Control
Each channel features a noise gate and compressor/limiter. The parameters have been carefully selected to allow quick and effective adjustments.
Compact, Simple, Professional
KORG microAUDIO 22 brings studio quality directly to your desk. Designed for an immediate workflow and stable performance, it offers a clean, open, and richly detailed sound without unnecessary complexity. It is the ideal choice for beginners, content creators, and musicians who want to record and broadcast with professional quality without complications.
Studio Audio Quality in Desktop Format
Thanks to the quality of the preamps used, the microAUDIO 22 ensures minimal noise and excellent headroom. It supports 24-bit/192kHz audio and features balanced inputs and outputs for consistently reliable recording and playback. From vocals to instruments, every detail is captured precisely and naturally.
Immediate Controls, Natural Creative Flow
Each channel features Mic, Line, and Hi-Z inputs, 48V Phantom Power, Noise Gate, and assignable dynamic processors (Compressor/Limiter), which can also be applied to audio from the computer (available with update v1.01). The front controls allow for quick adjustment of essential parameters, while zero-latency direct monitoring ensures instant listening during every recording and performance. The headphone output can be managed independently of the main outputs, ideal for click tracks or cue monitoring (with update v1.01). The Stereo Link function allows both channels to be controlled with a single knob, an ideal solution for stereo synths and paired sources.
Perfect for Streaming and Mobile Productions
The loopback mode sends computer audio directly to the livestream or DAW, simplifying streaming, sampling, and content creation.
Thanks to USB-C connectivity, the microAUDIO 22 also works with smartphones and tablets, easily adapting to home setups, live performances, or online streaming.

Filter Ark Included – The Heart of Creative Sound Design
Exclusively included with microAUDIO 22, Filter Ark is KORG's new filtering plug-in for DAW production environments. It faithfully recreates the legendary analog filters of MS-20, Polysix, miniKORG 700S, and ARP ODYSSEY, while also introducing new modern models such as physical resonators and vocal (Vowel) filters. Up to four filters can be used simultaneously, configured in series, parallel, or feedback, and an advanced modulation system with Morphable LFO, sequencer, and macro controls can be utilized. This transforms the filter into a true creative tool, not just an effect. Scale Quantize and ready-made presets ensure consistently valid results, allowing for expressive and modern sounds, far beyond traditional filtering.
microAUDIO 22 Software Bundle
In addition to Filter Ark, microAUDIO includes a comprehensive software suite with instruments and production tools such as:
Ableton Live Lite, Native Instruments Komplete Select, and iZotope Ozone Elements.
So you have everything you need to compose, record, produce, mix, and finalize your music right from the start.
