Steinberg UR24C Audio Interface

Steinberg UR24C Audio Interface Overview

Bridging the gap between the UR22C and UR44C, the UR24C is a new 2 in / 4 out audio interface from Steinberg, which thanks to its 4 outputs, uniquely features two switchable monitor modes: DAW and DJ.

In DAW mode (ideal for producing music with a DAW, such as Cubase), the balance of the incoming signals from the DAW and from the UR24C’s inputs is fully adjustable. Whereas, In DJ mode (optimized for performances with DJ software or backing tracks), you can choose to output the mono master sound to the right side of your headphones, with the mono cue sound to the left, or have both in stereo and mix the two. Alternatively, the DJ feature is equally useful if a separate headphone cue mix is needed - ideal for recording another person. Whichever you choose, the 2 operations can be changed via the setup window of the dspMixFxUR-C application, and are clearly visible on the interface; in DAW mode the power indicator LED ring is lit white, in DJ mode it is lit red.
