How our reviews work

  • A few days after your order ships we'll email you a link to leave a review. When your feedback is published it will carry a Customer verified badge, so others know it came from a real order with us.
  • We only ever edit a review to remove profanity, spam, or personal details - otherwise it's published exactly as written, good or bad. We won’t ever remove or edit critical ones.
  • You don't need to have bought a product from us to review it - if you know the product, we want you to let other shoppers know what you honestly think, using the form on the product page. These are moderated in the same way, but won't carry our Customer verified badge.

Introducing the Yamaha UR12 MK3 USB-C audio interface

The Yamaha UR12 MK3 is a compact 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface designed for home recording, music production, podcasting and live streaming. Supporting audio recording at up to 24-bit/192kHz, it combines a Yamaha microphone preamp, flexible instrument connectivity and practical monitoring features in a lightweight metal housing. Available in black or white, its compact design makes it easy to incorporate into a desktop studio or portable recording setup.

The UR12 MK3 features a Yamaha microphone preamp with switchable +48V phantom power for compatible condenser microphones. Its XLR/jack combo input accommodates microphone and line-level sources, while the separate Hi-Z input supports instruments such as electric guitars and basses. With a recording resolution of up to 24-bit/192kHz and an input dynamic range of 106dB, the interface provides the performance needed to capture detailed audio from vocals and instruments.

A direct monitoring switch allows incoming audio to be monitored through the interface without the latency associated with software monitoring. The built-in loopback function combines computer playback audio with connected microphone or instrument signals, making it useful for live streaming, podcasting and online content creation. A dedicated mute button and straightforward front-panel controls provide convenient access to key functions while recording or broadcasting.

The UR12 MK3 comes with access to a selection of Steinberg software, including Cubase AI for computer-based music production, Cubasis LE for compatible iPhone and iPad devices, and Steinberg Plus for additional sounds and instruments.
