Yamaha Steinberg UR-RT4 4-Channel USB Audio Interface With 4 Rupert Neve Transformers

The Steinberg UR-RT4 combines the company’s acclaimed D-PRE Class A preamps with switchable Rupert Neve Designs input transformers to deliver a rich musical sound with enhanced harmonics. The UR-RT4 offers zero-latency monitoring with effects using dspMixFx software and the interface’s integrated SSP2 DSP. Included is the VST3 Basic FX Suite with the Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip, REV-X reverb, and Guitar Amp Classics plug-ins. You also get Cubase AI DAW software for Mac/PC and Cubasis LE for iPad. But it’s the Rupert Neve transformers that make the Steinberg UR-RT4 truly special. Mr. Neve is a legendary pro audio designer, and the UR-RT4 adds his renowned sound quality to a compact 24-bit/192kHz USB 2.0 interface that offers flexible I/O, rugged build quality, and outstanding value.

For the UR-RT4, Steinberg’s crack team of audio and driver software developers engineered an I/O implementation that gives you both stability and flexibility, with drivers that support ASIO, Core Audio, and WDM standards. This means you can connect to all DAWs that support any of these universal standards. What’s more, the UR-RT4 features CC mode, which enables it to easily connect to your iPad and work with a broad range of iOS audio apps.

The UR-RT4 includes Cubase AI, a streamlined version of Steinberg’s world-class Mac/Windows production environment. On the road? Download Cubasis LE from the App Store for an enticing palette of recording and mixing features optimized for touchscreen operation on your iPad. Especially cool is the fact that Cubase can open Cubasis LE projects, so you can quickly capture your musical ideas on your iPad, then transfer them to Cubase for further development in your studio. With this degree of flexibility, you can take projects from concept to mastered album — all with one compact and cost-effective piece of hardware.
