Steinberg launch new USB 3 compatible audio interfaces

Fretwired

Steinberg (well Yamaha really) have launched some new interfaces that support 32 bit recording via USB 3. Not badly priced either.

Prices are really good too.  Hope the reviews are favourable. USB3 has gotta be the way forward for mainstream audio interfaces surely.

The USB 2 interfaces got good reviews and awards so I expect these will. I have a UR22 and a UR44 - excellent units for the money. They are made by Yamaha.

There's no intrinsic advantage in USB 3 over USB 2 for audio recording unless you need to record silly numbers of channels -- in which case you'd be using a pro interface that works over PCI or Thunderbolt anyway.
