Description

Korg microAUDIO 722

The KORG microAUDIO 722 is a 24-bit/192 kHz desktop USB-C audio interface with 2 inputs and 2 outputs, ideal for home recording, streaming, and music production. Record vocals, instruments, and Line/Hi-Z sources thanks to professional preamplifiers, integrated dynamic processors (compressors, limiters, and gates), and an analog filter inspired by the miniKORG 700S. It also features a Loopback function, MIDI In/Out, zero-latency monitoring, and immediate control of headphones and main outputs. Power is supplied directly via USB Bus.KORG microAUDIO 722 Key FeaturesHigh-Quality ComponentsMicrophone and line inputs use a high-quality operational amplifier with a fully balanced configuration. Line inputs are equipped with a buffer circuit that ensures low noise and distortion.Audio Support up to 24-bit / 192 kHzThe unit is powered via the USB-C port; simply connect it to your computer to start using it.Mic/Line (Hi-Z) InputsThe Combo jacks accept XLR or jack connectors and support balanced signals. XLR inputs offer +48V phantom power. A stereo link function is available, allowing both inputs to be used as a stereo pair, with gain adjusted by a single control. Outputs are on balanced TRS jacks.Loopback FunctionAllows you to use audio played back from your computer for streaming, video calls, or as a source for sampling in your DAW.Direct Monitoring with Dedicated MixAllows for zero-latency monitoring, with the ability to mix the direct signal with audio coming from the computer.Integrated DSP for Dynamics ControlEach channel features a noise gate and compressor/limiter. Parameters have been carefully selected to allow for quick and effective adjustments.Analog Filter from miniKORG 700SThe filter faithfully reproduces the characteristics of the original, with low-pass, high-pass, and bypass modes. It includes continuous resonance control and an LFO/envelope follower for creating more extreme modulations. A mono/stereo selector allows filtering a single channel or maintaining stereo pass-through.Analog Filter Use Also in DAWThe signal can be sent from the computer to the analog filter and returned via USB, allowing the filter to be applied to any track or sound played from the computer.Standalone OperationmicroAUDIO 722 can also be used without a computer as an analog filter or effects processor. It can be integrated into any setup: as an auto-wah for guitar/bass, as a filter for digital synths, or as a final effect in live performances or DJ sets. The software editor also allows configuring DSP effects (noise gate and compressor/limiter) even in standalone mode.Integrated MIDI IN/OUTAllows for hardware synchronization or MIDI control via computer. The LFO can be synchronized to BPM via MIDI for always-in-time modulations.microAUDIO 722 - The Audio Interface as a Creative ToolmicroAUDIO 722 takes creativity beyond simple recording. In addition to professional audio quality, it integrates KORG's legendary analog filter, transforming the interface into a true sound design tool. It offers a unique sonic character, capable of providing depth, movement, and personality that digital processing alone cannot replicate.The Sound of microAUDIO 722microAUDIO 722 offers crystal-clear sound, ample headroom, and studio-grade preamplifiers. It supports 24-bit/192kHz and features balanced inputs/outputs for professional recording and playback, in the studio or live.Control and Smooth WorkflowIt features Mic, Line, and Hi-Z inputs with 48V Phantom Power, Noise Gate, assignable compression/limiting (with update v1.01), zero-latency direct monitoring, and independent headphone management (with update v1.01). The Stereo Link function simplifies control of stereo sources.The Integrated Analog Filter Makes the DifferenceThe heart of the microAUDIO 722 is the filter from the miniKORG 700S, with Low-Pass, High-Pass, and Bypass modes, usable on both analog inputs and computer audio.With this filter, you can:

• Use it as an auto-wah on guitar or bass

• Process digital synthesizers and impart analog warmth

• Shape sounds in real-time during live streams or performancesThanks to MIDI In/Out connections, the filter can be automated, synchronized with external hardware, and integrated into hybrid workflows between software and physical instruments.microAUDIO EditorThe microAUDIO Editor is an application compatible with the microAUDIO 722 dedicated to modifying the parameters of effects including Noise Gate and Compressor or Limiter, and configuring MIDI settings. When connected to the microAUDIO 722, it also makes the filter parameters available, which automatically synchronize with the unit's knobs.Filter Ark Included: The Heart of Creative Sound DesignExclusively included with microAUDIO 722, Filter Ark is KORG's new filtering plug-in for production in DAW environments. It faithfully recreates the legendary analog filters of the MS-20, Polysix, miniKORG 700S, and ARP ODYSSEY, while introducing new modern models such as physical resonators and vocal (Vowel) filters. Up to four filters can be used simultaneously, configured in series, parallel, or feedback, and an advanced modulation system with Morphable LFO, sequencer, and macro controls can be utilized. This transforms the filter into a true creative tool, not just an effect. Scale Quantize and ready-made presets ensure consistently valid results, allowing for expressive and modern sounds, far beyond traditional filtering.microAUDIO 722 Software BundleIn addition to Filter Ark, microAUDIO includes a complete software suite with instruments and production tools such as:Ableton Live Lite, Native Instruments Komplete Select, and iZotope Ozone Elements.So you have everything you need to compose, record, produce, mix, and finalize your music right away.Ready for Streaming, Production, and PerformanceIntegrated Loopback, USB-C for mobile devices, and optimized workflow make the microAUDIO 722 perfect for studio, stage, and streaming.KORG microAUDIO 722 Technical SpecificationsAudio Format• Sample rates: 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4 / 192 kHz• Resolution: 24-bitMicrophone Input• Dynamic range: 109.5 dB (A)• THD+N: <0.015% (minimum gain, -1 dBFS input)• Maximum level: -2 dBu• Gain range: 56 dB• Impedance: 1.5 kΩLine Input• Dynamic range: 109.5 dB (A)• THD+N: <0.004% (minimum gain, -1 dBFS input, 22 Hz–22 kHz)• Maximum level: 13 dBu / 18 dBu (SE/DIF, minimum gain)• Impedance: 1 MΩ / 2 MΩ (SE/DIF)Line Output• Dynamic range: 109.5 dB (A)• THD+N: <0.0015%• Maximum level: 10 dBu / 16 dBu• Impedance: 330 Ω / 660 Ω (SE/DIF)Headphone Output• Dynamic range: 107 dB (A)• THD+N: <0.0015%• Maximum level: 10 dBu• Impedance: 20 ΩInputs/Outputs and Ports• 2 x XLR/6.3 mm TRS combo inputs (Mic/Line)• 2 x 6.3 mm TRS outputs• USB Type-C port• 6.3 mm stereo headphone output• MIDI IN/OUT (3.5 mm TRS)Power Supply• USB bus powered / USB-C DC power adapter• 48V Phantom switchIntegrated Analog Filter• From the miniKORG 700S• Modes: Low-Pass, High-Pass, Bypass• Applicable to analog inputs and computer audio• Ideal for guitar/bass (auto-wah), digital synths, and real-time sound modelingDimensions (W x D x H): 207 × 128 × 68 mmWeight: 553 gIncluded Accessories• USB cable• Quick start guideAdditional Features• Simultaneous I/O: 2x2• Number of preamplifiers: 2• Phantom Power: yes• Analog inputs: 2 x combo (Mic/Line [Hi-Z])• Analog outputs: 2 x 6.3 mm TRS (DC coupled)• Headphones: 1 x 6.3 mm• MIDI I/O included• Software included: KORG Software Bundle + Filter Ark
