Review: Great interface - Product arrived in excellent condition. Well packaged and brand new, not open box. So thumps up. So now I am entering the world of audio recording. I bought this product ur222mk11 on sale for $118.00 at the time. I was looking at the newer model ur22c which is $189.00 but I am glad I got this one instead. It does 90% what the newer model can do and the other model would be better suited to someone who has the need of those extra features. I will be using mines mainly for podcasting. I won't go into, comparing the both models!! So setup was easy, downloaded drivers on my Windows 10 laptop installed software cubebase from the website, didn't use the CD from the product, because you'll get the latest drivers on the website, connected everything up and it works great. Build quality.... Great solid all metal, this interface has a great weight and feel to it. Not cheap at all. No drivers problem. No software problem.. Just my lack of experience. But its me learning how to use the software , but audacity seems to be a better choice of software for podcasting as a beginner, so I am learning how to do the same tasks in both. Cubebase has a beautiful interface and can do more but audacity is great also and can do the tasks i need with much ease. As with other reviews the headphone amp is lacking some beef to it . It works but could have been a tad better. I am using condenser mics and my pre amps sound good and i am able to get excellent results from my audio interface. I look forward for my recordings it brings a big smile on my face when you have dependable gear. Money well spent. 5 stars Review: Six stars !! This product gives beautiful sounds - I bought this for my learning disabled son, hoping it would give him great beautiful sounds that would encourage him to learn to play keyboard. With Cubase AI LE (included) this product succeeds beyond expectations in giving great beautiful sounds for at least five MIDI instruments, namely church organ (gorgeous and real pipe organ), piano (absolutely real), oohs and aahs (fabulous), numerous guitars, several drumsets. It then gives passable sounds for many other instruments. In some ways better than a real piano, in my estimation, since it takes up much less space and gives more than one high quality instrument. Note that to boost the sound I hooked the UR22 to a TCC TC-754 preamplifier (about $80 on desertcart) which then fed into the AUX jack of my $300 AV receiver, which plays the sounds created by the UR22 and Cubase over a 7.2 speaker system. With this setup, the organ sounds absolutely thunderous and majestic and real as anything played by E. Power Biggs. Oh, and of course, I hooked the UR22 to a MIDI keyboard, in my case an inexpensive MidiPlus AK490, costing about $65. PS(1) I tried the Ableton 30 day free trial. The church organ sounded less real than the Cubase version. PS(2) The UR22 can be installed on a 32 bit PC, and accept 32 bit music composition apps such as Ableton. But please note that Cubase requires a 64 bit PC, and refuses to install on a 32 bit. PS(3) To connect all the bits and pieces, cables cost around $30, including two 10 foot MIDI cables to hook the keyboard to the UR22, a pair of 25 foot RCA cables to hook the UR22 to my AV receiver, a pair of RCA to 1/4 inch adaptors to convert the UR22 sound output from 1/4 inch plugs to RCA plugs. So all in all it cost under $300 (I already had a 64 bit PC and an AV receiver). And gave me my very own audio recording and editing studio. So if you can play keyboard, you can put your very own songs on the web. PS(4) Of course the UR22 interface also allows you to plug in a mike and an electric guitar, so you can sing along with your composition playing your guitar listening to a MIDI drumset and then afterwards add organs, strings, etc etc. PS(5) As noted, my son is learning disabled. He just uses the keyboard and does not touch the computer at all. The computer is hidden away on a shelf about five feet from the keyboard, so he has no temptation to touch it. I select the instrument, and set it to play without recording. And leave it on all day so he can play anytime he wants. PS(6) In my experience, Cubase is easy to learn if you do the tutorials and allow quite a few hours getting comfortable with it. ## Features - 2 x 2 USB 2.0 audio interface - 24-Bit/192 kHz & Two Class-A D-PRE mic preamps - Compatible with all major audio editing, mastering, and music production software - MIDI input/output & iPad connectivity.

You can output 24 bit quality, but only if the source is 24 bit. If the source is garbage this interface will not make it sound better. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great interface *by A***A on January 2, 2020* Product arrived in excellent condition.

I have only had the product for about 2 weeks now, but it has been working with no problems and was a breeze to set up. It also feels very solid, as the casing is completely metal. The input ports don't wobble or move. The knobs are nice and don't have any play in them. All of the functions I have used so far work without any problems. I am using an old laptop running Windows 8, and I primarily use it to record synthesizers, drum machines, and piano into my computer (Ableton). All of the reviews on cheap audio interfaces are generally not very good, and usually detail how hard it is to set up. This was the complete opposite for me. I literally took this thing out of the box, downloaded the driver onto my computer, plugged it in, and started recording. Couldn't have taken more than 10 minutes to get going. While this interface might not have all the inputs and features some people want, it is great for my needs and is an excellent value for the price. So far, I am happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a cheaper, beginner, audio interface. I will update this review at a later date. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha Steinberg UR22MKII 2-Channel USB Interface - Mellbree MIDI Cable, 2-Pack 3-Feet Male to Male 5-Pin MIDI Cable Compatible with MIDI Keyboard, Keyboard Synth, Rack Synth, Sampler, External Sound Card, Sound Source and Other Music Gear --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/23135192-ur22-mkii](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/23135192-ur22-mkii) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
