Korg microAUDIO 22 Audio interface

The Korg microAUDIO 22 is a compact 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface that brings Korg studio engineering straight to your desktop. With pristine 24-bit/192 kHz sound, studio-grade preamps and an ultra-simple layout, it is ideal for beginners, hobbyists and creators who want professional audio quality without getting lost in menus or complex routing.

Whether you are recording vocals and guitar, layering synths, streaming, or capturing ideas on the move, microAUDIO 22 keeps everything fast and intuitive. Hands-on controls, flexible monitoring and built-in processing help you stay focused on the music, while the included Filter Ark plug-in opens the door to deep, expressive sound design inside your DAW.

Compact Design, Premium Sound

microAUDIO 22 delivers a clear, open sound with a strong sense of depth and generous headroom, all in a compact desktop-friendly format. Studio-grade mic preamps are tuned for musical gain with minimal noise, so your recordings stay clean and detailed without harshness. With support for up to 24-bit/192 kHz audio and balanced inputs and outputs, it is ready for high-quality recording and playback in any small studio or home setup.

Hands-on Control for a Smooth Workflow

Each channel on microAUDIO 22 offers versatile Mic, Line and Hi-Z input options with 48 V phantom power, so you can plug in anything from condenser mics to guitars and synths. Assignable Noise Gate and dynamics processing (Compressor or Limiter, depending on configuration) give you smooth, musical control over levels with minimal noise. Front-panel knobs put all the essentials at your fingertips, and zero-latency direct monitoring means you always hear yourself in real time when recording or performing.

Flexible Monitoring and Stereo Link

The headphone output on microAUDIO 22 can be assigned independently from the main outputs, making it easy to send a click track only to your headphones or cue signals when using DJ or performance software. The Stereo Link function lets you control both channels with a single knob, perfect for stereo synths, drum machines or paired sources. This keeps your workflow simple and musical, so you spend less time tweaking and more time creating.

Ready for Streaming, Mobile and Sound Design

Built-in loopback mode sends computer audio straight back into your stream or DAW, ideal for livestreaming, sampling or capturing content on the fly without complicated routing. USB-C connectivity allows microAUDIO 22 to work with compatible smartphones and tablets, so you can record or stream from almost anywhere. Bundled exclusively with the microAUDIO series, Korg’s Filter Ark plug-in brings legendary analogue-style filters and advanced modulation into your DAW, turning filtering into a powerful creative instrument for modern production.
