The Steinberg UR-RT2 combines the company’s acclaimed D-PRE Class A preamps with switchable input transformers from Rupert Neve Designs to deliver a rich musical sound with enhanced harmonics. The UR-RT2 provides zero-latency monitoring with effects using dspMixFx software and the interface’s integrated SSP2 DSP.

Mr. Neve is a legendary professional audio designer, and the UR-RT2 adds its renowned sound quality to a compact 24-bit / 192 kHz USB 2.0 interface that offers flexible I/O, robust build quality and excellent value.
Easy, stable integration with any DAW
For the UR-RT2, Steinberg’s team of audio and driver software developers developed an I/O implementation that gives you both stability and flexibility, with drivers supporting ASIO, Core Audio and WDM standards. This means you can connect to any DAW that supports all of these universal standards. In addition, the UR-RT2 features CC mode, which makes it easy to connect to your iPad and work with a wide variety of iOS audio apps.
The magical Rupert Neve sound
Note Rupert Neve’s signature on the UR-RT2 faceplate. That’s Rupert Neve, the professional audio legend whose electronics designs defined the golden age of analog. Those of us at Sweetwater who have had the privilege of working on a Neve 8078 or its predecessors can attest that Neve’s 80 Series consoles were indeed the pinnacle of hand-wired analog mixing consoles. Mr. Neve has been at the forefront of audio circuit innovation for more than half a century, and his current company, Rupert Neve Designs, continues to advance the state of the art with cutting-edge products that sound incredible and intelligently meet the challenges of the digital age. The inclusion of input transformers from Rupert Neve Designs in the Steinberg UR-RT2 makes this legendary sound available in a budget-friendly USB 2.0 interface.
