Steinberg's UR816C features comprehensive inputs and outputs for multi-track recording, exceptional microphone preamps, professional features such as Word Clock, digital I/O and mute/dim switches - everything you need for a first-class recording every time.
The UR816C 16-input, 16-output USB 3.0 audio interface is the heart of your studio. With its Class A D-PRE microphone preamps and 32-bit/192kHz recording quality, it delivers professional results in every sense of the word. The full set of mic inputs allows you to record even a full drum kit, and thanks to the HI-Z inputs, electric guitars can be captured cleanly and perfectly controlled with zero latency, thanks to the guitar amp simulations based on DSP included. MIDI connections allow you to use a variety of controllers. Digital connections allow you to expand your studio by adding converters and word clocks with the latest jitter reduction technology, ensuring that other professional audio equipment will be perfectly in sync. Dim and Mute functions add other studio-quality features...and all of this can be used with any DAW.

Included effects
- Effects plug-in suite with VST 3 and AU versions of the built-in DSP plug-ins, providing very useful additional sound shaping and effects tools.
- REV-X Reverb is a complex reverb algorithm comprising three types of reverb effect simulations: Hall, Room and Plate, each of which includes time and reverb level controls.
- The Sweet Spot morphing channel strip combines a sidechain-compatible compressor and a three-band parametric EQ.
- Guitar Amp Classics are guitar amp effects that make extensive use of Yamaha's advanced modeling technology, delivering highly realistic, finely tuned emulations of the classic tones of tube and solid-state amplifiers. Four types of amps with different sound characteristics are provided.
- Clean - Optimized for clean sounds, this amp effectively simulates the tight brilliance of solid-state amplifiers.
- Crunch is the type of amp to use when you want slightly overloaded crunch sounds. It simulates the type of vintage tube amplifiers that are preferred for classic blues, rock, soul, R'n'B and similar styles.
- The Drive amp type provides a selection of distortion sounds that simulate the tonal character of high-gain tube amplifiers.
- The Lead type simulates a high gain tube amp that is rich in harmonics. Ideal for playing lead guitar lines that fit well into an overall mix, it can also be set up for clean backing sounds, making it a very versatile emulation.
