If you are surrounded by people who are learning musical instruments or motorcycle enthusiasts, then Yamaha must be a brand that appears very frequently, Yamaha is now a well-known musical instrument manufacturer in the world, and it is also the only company in the field of musical instrument manufacturing to be selected as one of the world's top 500 companies.
 
However, Yamaha's lineup is by no means limited to musical instruments and motorcycles, and there are some similarities between Yamaha and Asus, both of which have done an excellent job of diversification. However, relatively speaking, ASUS's diversification is more concentrated in 3C digital-related fields, while Yamaha's diversification direction is significantly more and more complex, and it is often nicknamed "department store" because it is often nicknamed "department store" because it is in a leading position in business fields such as musical instruments, audio-visual products, information technology, new media business, furniture, auto parts, special metals, music education, and resorts.
 
The Yamaha sound card derived from musical instruments also had a glorious time, it was a manufacturer with its own chip capabilities at the time, and in the ISA era, Yamaha's 719 chip had an excellent reputation. PCI sound cards also used to be in the limelight, the most famous being the YMF724 series, which also accounted for a certain share, but later after the innovation was dominant, Yamaha slowly withdrew from the ordinary civilian consumer market.
 
In the current sound card industry, Yamaha is also more interesting, because it is a dual-brand operation, in addition to the main YAMAHA, there is also the acquired German brand Steinberg, although the English logo of the two brands is different, but in China are called Yamaha. Although YAMAHA has withdrawn from the consumer civilian market, it still retains a product line similar to sound cards, but in YAMAHA's positioning, these sound cards are classified as professional audio products, but this does not prevent users from pursuing it, YAMAHA AG 06 is now also one of the more popular sound cards.
 
As far as the attributes of the product itself are concerned, whether it is YAMAHA or Steinberg, their sound card products are indeed more professional recording sound cards, which are more suitable for users who play recording and do late production, but these sound cards all support hardware ASIO, and live broadcast and karaoke functions can be realized by installing rack software, and the sound quality is also higher than that of ordinary live broadcast sound cards, so they are used as live broadcast sound cards by many anchors. It is worth mentioning that the ASIO driver, which is currently the most widely used in recording sound cards, is developed by Steinberg, so the stability and compatibility of Yamaha sound cards are very good, and it has great advantages.
 
Yamaha's product line is relatively simple, mainly YAMAHA's AG series and Steinberg UR series, and it is easy to distinguish between the high and low positioning of each other by looking at the numbers behind. Among them, YAMAHA AG06, Steinberg UR22 MK II, and UR242 are all relatively hot sound cards on the market, and all three are external sound cards.
 
The AG06 is actually a mixer, but it can also be used as a 2-in, 2-out sound card. As a partial professional product,AG06The interface is very rich,Comes with phantom power supply,Can support capacitor microphone,And comes with DSP effect and internal recording function,Plus hardware ASIO,Can be directly connected to IOS equipment,And the volume is not large,Portability is also very good,It is perfect for live broadcasting,1500The price and cost performance are not bad,The fly in the ointment is that the debugging is slightly complicated,It may not be very friendly to novices。
 
UR22 MK II, UR242 are both 24bit/192KHZ sampling accuracy, UR242 positioning is between UR44 and UR22 MK II, 101db signal-to-noise ratio, 4 in and 2 out, with 2 preamps, with DSP effect and internal recording function, can be connected to iOS devices, the price is about 1600 yuan, slightly higher than AG06. And UR22 positioning is lower,Only 2 in 2 out,The signal-to-noise ratio is only95db,The price is reduced accordingly to about 1300 yuan,These two sound cards and AG06 have similar uses,It is more suitable for recording in the later stage or install rack software as a live sound card,Of course, it can also be used to listen to music,But it will seem a little wasteful。
