Premium quality stereo audio interface
The UA-25 uses powerful analog electronics coupled with well-matched A/D & D/A converters for superior audio fidelity. You'll find a wide range of inputs and outputs in a compact case - a pair of Neutrix XLR/TRS combo jacks with phantom power, a Hi-Z port for guitar direct connection and 24-bit/96kHz S/P DIF optical I/O ports. The UA-25 also features a pair of high quality microphone preamps using premium analog components. It provides a clean recording environment to give you crystal-clear recording.

Premium analog and digital output
The seasoned audio professional will love the UA-25 for its ability to output audio at +4dBu from the balanced 1/4" outputs, making it ideal for professional connections between the field and the studio. And with digital output with 24-bit/96kHz resolution, you can't go wrong with digital transfers!

Monitoring made simple
Have to listen in real time? Monitor direct! The UA-25 includes a power set of direct monitor controls that allow you to route audio directly from the inputs to the outputs and the headphone jack, so you can listen with zero latency. You can also turn direct monitoring on or off, adjust the relative volume of the UA-25's input signal compared to your computer's audio out and even set the signal to monitor in mono. This lets you hear a microphone plugged into the left input in both headphones, plus check for phasing issues by monitoring in mono.

Built-in compressor
Another reason to consider the UA-25 as ideal for use in the field is its built-in analog mild compressor. This allows a little more flexibility in setting microphone levels and allows you more freedom from audio clipping. If your first take is your only chance, you DON'T want to get caught without this feature!

Rugged, portable, powerful
The UA-25 is USB Powered, so you never have to plug it into a wall socket, but it manages to run condenser microphones with 48V phantom power. Its high-grade aluminum chassis means the UA-25 can withstand hard impacts that are normally associated with traveling or working in the field. In addition, aluminum is an excellent shield against high-frequency interference from other electrical components. Plus, the UA-25 supports ASIO2.0, WDM, MME, and CoreAudio so it's compatible with virtually every Mac and Windows application.

Add it all up: 24-bit/96kHz audio performance, MIDI I/O, S/PDIF optical I/O, and Neutrix XLR/TRS inputs with high-grade microphone preamps, and the UA-25 is everything you need to get superb audio to and from your computer!
