Steinberg UR-RT2 USB Audio Interface Review / Test

Today I review, the cheapest piece of “Neve” gear on the market. This is the brand new Steinberg UR-RT2 USB Audio Interface, which has 2 mic pre’s with switchable Rupert Neve Transformers, +60dB of mic gain, and a 24-bit 192kHz Analog to Digital converter. I think this thing sounds great, but I only think musicians will really get a benefit from the Neve transformers. Voice over artists, should probably look somewhere else for a cheaper options. CORRECTION: When I say "the Neve transformers add Distortion, I mean Saturation."
