Korg microAUDIO 22, 2x2 USB-C Audio Interface - Black

The Korg MICROAUD22 is a compact 2x2 USB-C audio interface with up to 24-bit / 192 kHz sampling. Sporting two XLR-1/4" combo mic / line / Hi-Z inputs and balanced DC-coupled outputs, this interface ensures quality sound without excessive complexity.

Compact Design Meets Studio Clarity

The microAUDIO 22 brings KORG’s studio-grade engineering straight to your desktop, delivering pure, essential performance with a clean and intuitive layout. It is ideal for beginners and hobbyists who want high-quality audio without unnecessary complexity.

Compact Form. Premium Sound.

microAUDIO 22 offers a pristine, open sound with a strong sense of depth and generous headroom in a compact, desktop-ready design. Studio-grade preamps are tuned for musical gain with minimal noise, prioritizing clarity while avoiding excess circuitry. It supports 24-bit/192kHz audio and includes balanced inputs and outputs for high-quality recording and playback. From detailed vocal work to layering synthesizers or performing live, every nuance is faithfully captured.

Intuitive, Hands-On Control for Creative Flow

Each channel of microAUDIO 22 features versatile Mic, Line, and Hi-Z inputs with 48V phantom power, plus assignable Noise Gate and Compressor for smooth, musical gain with minimal noise. These processors can be applied not only to input signals, but also to any audio played back from a connected computer.

Front-panel knobs provide direct access to essential functions, and zero-latency direct monitoring ensures immediate feedback during recording or live performance. The headphone output can be assigned independently of the main outputs, allowing you to route a click track exclusively to the headphones or monitor cue signals when connected to DJ applications. The Stereo Link function allows both channels to be controlled simultaneously with a single knob, making it ideal for stereo synthesizers and other paired sources.

This workflow keeps the technical side simple so you can stay focused on creating. These features will be added in version 1.01, scheduled for release in February 2026.

Ready for Streaming and Mobile Creation

Built-in loopback mode sends computer audio directly into your livestream or DAW without complicated routing. This is ideal for streaming, sampling, or capturing content on the fly.

With USB-C connectivity, microAUDIO 22 works seamlessly with smartphones and tablets, making it easy to create or stream from anywhere. Whether recording at home, performing on stage, or streaming online, microAUDIO 22 adapts to your workflow and delivers consistent, professional sound.

Filter Ark

The Heart of Creative Sound Design

Bundled exclusively with microAUDIO, Filter Ark is KORG’s next-generation filter plugin for DAW-based production. It faithfully reproduces legendary analog filters from the MS-20, Polysix, miniKORG 700S, and ARP Odyssey, while introducing new models such as physically modeled resonators and vowel-based filters. With up to four filters routable in series, parallel, or feedback configurations, plus morphable LFOs, sequencers, and macros for advanced modulation, Filter Ark turns filtering into a creative instrument.

Scale quantization and performance-ready presets ensure every movement is musical, unlocking expressive sound design far beyond traditional filtering.

Software Bundle for Instant Creation

In addition to its hardware features, microAUDIO 22 includes a complete software suite with instruments and production tools such as Ableton Live Lite, Native Instruments Komplete Select, and iZotope Ozone Elements. This covers everything from composition and recording to mixing and mastering.
