Steinberg AXR4U USB 3.0 Audio Interface with Rupert Neve Designs SILK emulation
With the AXR4U, Steinberg sets a new standard in audio interfaces for studios, producers and professional musicians. Featuring connectivity and facilities aimed at professional-level recording, including 32-bit integer resolution and a sample rate of up to 384 kHz, this premium audio interface significantly raises the bar. The hybrid mic preamps with Rupert Neve Designs SILK emulation add exceptional tonal control, while SSPLL guarantees ultra-low jitter. The AXR4 ensures universal excellence for all recording applications. VCM was developed by an engineering group led by Toshifumi Kunimoto (aka Dr. K), who was also responsible for the first physical modeling synthesizers, VL1 and VP1. VCM enables an ultra-realistic digital reproduction of individual components in analog circuits, such as resistors and capacitors. Besides modeling the functionality of a circuit and the interaction between single components, VCM focuses on an unprecedented musical simulation of analog sound qualities, including typical characteristics like saturation and non-linearity subtleties that simple digital simulations cannot capture.
The AXR4 can connect to a huge range of musical instruments and audio equipment, making it an ideal interface for any professional application. With +48 V phantom power available on all four XLR/TRS combo inputs, both condenser and dynamic microphones are accommodated, while all four inputs can also accept line level signals. Inputs 1 and 2 can accept Hi-Z signals, so electric guitars and basses, MIDI equipment and any kind of studio equipment or playback device can all be used. With a range of analog and digital output options, as well as additional I/O available via the digital connections, the AXR4 has all the connectivity required for professional production situations. A special feature of the AX4T is that up to three units can be daisy-chained using Thunderbolt 2. For creative music professionals a wide range of connectivity options and great sound quality are crucial. The AXR4 is equipped with exceptional hybrid mic preamps featuring switchable RND SILK emulation, which can accommodate any kind of microphone. It features Hi-Z inputs for direct connection of guitars and basses, which also allow for recording clean signals and re-amping. With two individual headphone outputs and latency-free monitoring with DSP-powered effects, two musicians or singers can receive their own, individual monitor mix. The extensive range of analog and digital connectivity makes it possible to connect all of the equipment needed for creative musical workflow in any genre, including a master keyboard, pad controller, guitars and much more, with the facility to easily expand the setup when required.
