We now have the Steinberg UR824 in stock and available to buy! The UR824 comes from Steinberg’s new range of professional audio interfaces. It features a rackmountable design with high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity, latency free monitoring, effects and 24 channels with 8 premium D-Pre mic preamps! Plus, it comes bundled with Cubase AI 6 software, giving you a complete recording package! When I bought my first ever audio interface, I forked out £99 for a 2-in, 2-out device with minimal features, average sounding preamps, USB 1.1 connectivity and a copy of Cubase LE. At the time, this seemed like a bargain to me, but things have changed since then. In fact, it wasn’t until I became introduced to the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 that I realised just how much things had changed! For only £20 more (at the time of writing), Focusrite are offering a device with similar features, but that makes use of high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity, includes two of Focusrite’s renowned preamps and comes bundled with four top-quality plug-ins and Ableton Live Lite 8! To me, this seems like an absolute bargain and with prices like this, it definitely pushes the older USB 1.1 protocol closer towards extinction.

Therefore, Avid decided that they would take a step towards combating this issue by creating the Mbox listening challenge.Avid’s Mbox range of interaces include all-new signal paths, premium converters and a lot more, so it is no surprise that they wanted to show them off! Avid decided to perform a highly scientific experiment that compared the input and output stages of the Mbox Pro against three other brilliant sounding interfaces with similar feature-sets, but that cost approximately three to six times more!
