The U-22 is the essential mobile recording and
performance interface, with an innovative 2-in/2-out ultra-portable design that
makes it easy to connect to a laptop or iPhone/iPad and create great-sounding
audio anywhere.
The interface features a high-performance, low-noise mic
preamp so you can record vocals, instruments, and more with pristine sound
quality—at resolutions up to 24-bit/96 kHz. The U-22 delivers the same excellent
sound as our U-44 and U-24, with an even more compact form factor.
The
U-22 can be bus-powered via USB and its compact form factor is perfect for use
with a laptop or iPhone/iPad*. The innovative design provides quick access to
connectors, knobs, and controls for effortless setup and operation. *
Requires 2 AA batteries or optional AC adapter for power, plus an Apple iPad
Camera Connection Kit or Lightning-to-USB Camera Adapter for connection to
iPhone/iPad.
The U-22 features a single high-performance, low-noise mic
preamp—the same as acclaimed H6 Handy Recorders—with less than -120 dBu EIN, as
well as recording and playback at resolutions up to 24-bit/96 kHz. You can also
use the U-22 as a studio-quality headphone amp and listen to your favorite music
in full fidelity.
The U-22’s XLR/TS combo input can be used to record
with a microphone or line-level source, with 48V phantom power, and Hi-Z support
for connecting a guitar or bass. The U-22 is also equipped with a mini stereo
input so you can record an iPad, mixer, or other portable audio device. *The
U-22 can record one input at a time. When recording from the LINE IN jack, the
XLR/TS combo input is disabled.
The U-22 is the perfect audio companion
for musicians who incorporate digital audio processing or pre-recorded sound
elements into their live performances. Connect your interface to a laptop or
iPhone/iPad, pull up software effects or a looper, and send your processed
signal to a mixer or the house PA via RCA stereo outputs.
