High-quality conversion is a crucial first step for any audio production and, with the UR-RT2 interface, Steinberg’s designers researched the best combination of components for optimized analog to digital conversion. Alongside great build quality, the sound quality of the UR-RT2 is refined by the inclusion of 24-bit converters. These accurately capture the detail of every recorded signal, ensuring that the fidelity of sound throughout the recording process is maintained.

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. They are rugged enough to ensure that, when you are ready to record, they will work perfectly every time.

The built-in DSP of the UR-RT2 interface provides zero-latency monitoring with effects for every DAW, including straight forward control of all routings and settings.
