simple USB cable and the US-122 transform any 

desktop Mac or PC into a recording workstation. 

You don’t need to crack open your computer and wrestle 

with PCI cards to add audio and MIDI recording hard-

ware and software to your computer anymore. And the 

controls are all on the top panel for quick, easy adjust-

ments. 

The US-122 has switchable phantom power and XLR 

microphone inputs, allowing you to record using high-

quality condenser microphones. In the studio pictured 

above, a pair of condenser mics are set up to record vo-

cals and guitar while monitoring through headphones. 

When you’re fi nished recording, you can easily switch 

back to speakers thanks to the individual headphone 

and line controls. 

The MIDI inputs and outputs allow you to connect 

synthesizers, drum machines, synchronizers, lighting 

controllers, and hundreds of other musical tools. By 

plugging a synthesizer into the MIDI input, you’ll be 

able to use GigaStudio, the world’s most powerful and, 

best-sounding sampler. In fact, since the US-122 is GSIF-

compatible, it’s your best solution for using GigaStudio 

on a laptop. The US-122 also includes Steinberg’s Cuba-

sis VST software, so you’ll be ready to record in minutes 

without buying extra software. 

T

he US-122’s design makes it ideal for use with 

laptop computers, so you can carry your profes-

sional studio around in a backpack.  With its rock-

solid, die-cast aluminum chassis and robust, compact 

design, you instantly know that the US-122  was 

built for the road. And since it’s powered by the USB 

connection, that’s one less wall-wart power supply you 

need to cart around or lose. 

The US-122’s Direct Monitor feature gives you the 

fl exibility to record and overdub without suffering with 

latency delay. You’ll easily record layer after layer into 

the bundled Cubasis VST software, crafting your musical 

ideas into fi nished productions. (See the sidebar on Direct 

Monitoring for more information.) The line inputs of the 

US-122 can be switched to guitar level, so you can plug in 

direct without any extra baggage. And with 24-bit, 48kHz 

recording quality, your late night motel room sketches 

might just make it on to your next album.
