The author states that at the winter NAMM he was given an opportunity to glance at the AXR4 and it seemed exciting to him that one day he would be given the opportunity to play with it. Presently, there is an AXR4 at the hub of his studio and he has decided to have a go at it and then expand his impressions of this equipment that is the newest audio interface from Steinberg. The author states that the main focus of the AXE4 is audio quality and the interface makes no doubt about it when one uses it. The sample rate for recording is up to 384kHz and it can do processing of audio up to a depth of 32 bits. The AXR4 has its own variety of Cubase which is an AI variant and the Cubase is a feature that maximizes the integration between an interface and the software that is underlying. Despite this, the equipment works with all audio interface workstation that you try it on. A hybrid in the AXR is the mic preamps which can also be found in Yamaha’s digital mixing consoles. Rupert Neve designs also implemented a silk circuit in it that consists of 2 different modes from which emulation can be performed.
Key Takeaways:
- The Steinberg AXR4 audio interface has a lot of specs, with AXR hybrid mic preamps, silk emulation with two modes, and Thunderbolt 2 to keep latency low.
- The preamps and the silk emulation sound great, with plenty of detail that resemble a high end rack unit.
- The AXR4 is easy to use, with easy to understand companion software and a highly configurable interface.
“The interface can record up to a 384kHz sample rate, and process audio at a depth of up to 32 bits.”
