Both models support 24-bit\/192kHz audio and include balanced inputs and outputs for high-quality recording and playback.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Each channel of the microAUDIO series features versatile Mic, Line, and Hi-Z inputs with 48V phantom power, plus assignable Noise Gate and either a Compressor or Limiter 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing and Availability:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Korg <strong>microAUDIO<\/strong> interfaces are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.korg.com\/us\/products\/computergear\/microaudio\/\">available<\/a> now to pre-order, with street prices of about $200 USD for the <strong>microAUDIO 22<\/strong> and $270 for the <strong>microAUDIO 722<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KORG has introduced the\u00a0microAUDIO series, including two new compact audio interfaces. &hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/content\/2026\/01\/16\/korg-intros-microaudio-interface-line-ahead-of-2026-namm-show\/\">Read More <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Korg Intros microAUDIO Interface Line Ahead Of 2026 NAMM Show<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":151706,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[36060,30600,359],"class_list":["post-151705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-audio-interfaces","tag-2026-namm-show","tag-audio-interfaces","tag-korg"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/korg-microaudio-interface.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=151705"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151705\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":151707,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151705\/revisions\/151707"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=151705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.synthtopia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=151705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
