STEINBERG UR-RT2 USB Audio Interface with Neve Transformers

USB Audio Interface with Neve Transformers

STEINBERG UR-RT2 is a premium 4-in/2-out USB 2.0 and MIDI audio interface with switchable Rupert Neve Designs transformers on the front inputs. In combination with the integrated high-quality D-PRE preamplifiers, the Rupert Neve Designs transformers offer a more expressive musical sound with rich harmonics, particularly beneficial for vocals, acoustic guitar, and other instruments with a versatile dynamic range.
Mr. Rupert Neve is undoubtedly a legend in the field of professional audio. The transformer circuit is one of the key factors in his many vintage designs and also in the latest Rupert Neve Designs devices, which gives a very appealing touch of natural compression and saturation to the sound.
Input channels 1-2 on the STEINBERG UR-RT2 each feature a transformer that Rupert Neve Designs developed specifically. With this transformer, you can add natural distortion to the signal to achieve a sound with more depth and perspective, while maintaining the natural sound of the D-PRE itself when the transformer is disabled.
The virtues of the Yamaha-designed D-PRE have been lauded by industry veterans and the specialist press since the introduction of this class-leading preamplifier. A sumptuously detailed high-end, immaculate dynamic response, and a rich, rounded-sounding low-end are the hallmarks of this preamplifier. STEINBERG UR-RT2 features 2 D-PRE preamplifiers, each offering stellar recording quality unmatched in this price range. And to faithfully capture and reproduce the warm, transparent sound of the D-PRE, STEINBERG UR-RT2 features AD and DA conversion stages with up to 24-bit, 192 kHz resolution.
Offering a studio-grade mobile production platform with a range of input/output options for laptops and iPads, the integrated SSP2 DSP chip also delivers zero-latency FX for monitoring. STEINBERG UR-RT2 is designed to offer exceptional quality for its price range.
