Korg 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. 24-bit/192kHz resolution with premium studio-grade preamps Built-in compressor, limiter and noise gate on each input Zero-latency direct monitoring and loopback for streaming Filter Ark plug-in included, emulates MS-20, Polysix, Minikorg 700S and ARP Odyssey filters USB-C connectivity for desktop, mobile and tablet use Stereo Link mode for unified control of stereo sources   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. 24-bit/192kHz audio support and balanced inputs and outputs provide 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 an 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*. Front-panel knobs provide direct access to essential functions, while zero-latency direct monitoring ensures immediate feedback during recording or live performance. The headphone output can be assigned independently from the main outputs, allowing you to route a click track exclusively to headphones or to 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 MicroAudio 22's built-in loopback mode sends computer audio directly into your livestream or DAW without complicated routing, 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.
