Overview:
Ideal for content creators, podcasters, and solo musicians, the Yamaha UR12MK3 is a compact 2x2 USB-C audio interface sporting a single XLR-1/4" combo mic/line input jack with a Class-A UR mic pre. With low-latency direct monitoring, loopback, and mute functions for all inputs, the UR12MK3 is a flexible interface that can handle a variety of applications.
Along with the combo input, the front panel provides a separate 1/4" Hi-Z input for passive instruments such as guitar and bass, making the UR12MK3 effective as a DI box. Each input has a dedicated gain control. The rear panel features two 1/4" line outputs for stereo connections and two USB-C ports—one for host connections with devices and one for power input. The interface provides up to 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion for high-quality audio capture. Cross-platform and plug-and-play compatibility means this interface works with Windows, macOS, and iOS devices without the need for drivers. Compact and lightweight, this desktop interface can easily be taken with you. The UR12MK3 includes a USB-C to USB-A cable and bundle of audio production software to get you started.
