Main features

16 x 16 USB 3.0 Audio Interface with 8 x D-PRE and 32-bit/192 kHz support

The UR816C is a 16-in and 16-out USB 3.0 audio interface supporting 192 kHz and 32-bit audio quality to capture all the subtleties and expressiveness of any audio source.

The eight world-renowned D-PRE microphone preamps, the eight balanced line outputs and the one ADAT optical digital I/O provide all the professional connectivity required in project studios as well as in professional recording and production facilities.

True 32-bit resolution

The UR816C and the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver support the 32-bit Integer format which can represent audio data in higher resolution compared to the Float format.

Together with a DAW like Cubase being able to fully utilize the 32-bit Integer data, music production with unprecedented audio resolution can be realized.

USB 3.0 & USB Type-C

The UR816C is equipped with a USB Type-C port and features the USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) SuperSpeed mode. It also provides full compatibility with the USB 2.0 High-Speed mode and includes a Type-C to Type-A cable.

dspMixFx

The dspMixFx technology is powered by the latest SSP3 DSP chip and offers latency-free monitoring with the highly acclaimed DSP effects, including REV-X reverb, for users of any DAW software.

SSPLL™ (Super Suppression PLL)

SSPLL is currently the most advanced technology for removing audio band jitter. It is highly robust and extremely tolerant of wide variations in clock frequencies. Using SSPLL makes all of the connected equipment work reliably and virtually jitter-free.

UR816C Operation Manual 7

Software

dspMixFx UR-C

This software is for operating the convenient built-in DSP mixer and DSP effects. The DSP mixer allows you to mix up to sixteen input channels down to one stereo output. A number of DSP effects for processing the input signals are also provided, and since the processing/mixing is hardware-based, there is no monitoring latency.

What is Loopback?

Loopback is a convenient function for broadcasting over the Internet. It mixes the input audio signals (such as microphone and guitar) with the audio signals playing back in the software in the computer into two channels in the UR816C, and sends them back to the computer. Refer to the section “Signal Flow” (page 37).

If the Loopback function is on while you are monitoring input signals from the UR816C via DAW software, it will cause loud noise. This is because an infinite loop of the audio signal is generated between the UR816C and the DAW software. When using the loopback function, turn off the monitor functions on your DAW software.
