Message from the
Development Team
Thank you for choosing the UR12 USB audio interface.
The UR12 is the most basic model in the popular and
extensive UR series. The UR12 features a solid body and
design, and is the result of a never-ending flow of
development ideas that fulfill the UR series' commitment to
audio quality—all in a compact package that has only
those components that are absolutely necessary for basic
music production.
The input routing is extremely simple, with a single mic
preamp and a single HI-Z input jack. The mic preamp
features the same "D-PRE" specifications as more
advanced models in this series, for the same commitment
to audio quality. In order to achieve the perfect balance
between relaxed highs, dense mids, and a punchy low
end, each component was carefully selected to design a
basic model with a strong focus on sound quality.
The UR12 supports Windows, Mac, and iPad
environments, to meet your needs for easy music
production in a variety of situations with trademark UR-
series audio quality. A 5V DC port has been provided to
supply sufficient power to the UR12 when using it with an
iPad. You can connect a USB power adapter or USB
mobile battery to this port. A stable power supply allows
this audio interface to perform at its maximum potential.
This is one of the design decisions that allow you to
achieve high-quality music production with the UR12 in a
variety of environments.
There have been significant changes in music production
environments recently. The UR12 has been designed with
those changes in mind, and we hope that the UR12 helps
more people enjoy music production, with greater ease of
use and optimum audio quality, in a variety of situations
and environments—so that you can fulfill your musical
hopes and dreams.
