Introduction

A Message From the

Development Team

Thank you for choosing the UR28M USB Audio

Interface. The UR28M brings the sum total of our experience and know-how together with invaluable feedback from our customers throughout the world. Throughout the Yamaha nseries and Steinberg MR series our focus has been on integrating consistently outstanding sonic design with features and software that are truly useful from a musician’s perspective. The

UR28M carries on this uncompromising approach, offering refined sound and functionality in a compact unit.

With the goal of creating a product that would be of maximum value for the longest time in mind, the development process began with in-depth review of the many comments received from users as a starting point for the design and basic specifications. Visual design, the feel of buttons and knobs, trial-and-error sonic evaluation of parts, and seamless software integration are just some of the elements to which every member of the development team devoted their full attention and passion. The entire team is rightly proud of the results, and we are delighted to be able to offer this product to our valued customers.

But this is just the beginning. The most important chapter unfolds when our customers use the product to support and augment their creativity, making it a part of their musical lives. Our greatest hope is that we are able to contribute in some way to the creation and expression of new music that will bring our customers’ artistic vision to life.
