A Portable Studio Complete with Steinberg Cubase LE DAW Software
Compact and USB powered means portable. The USB 2.0 connection provides ample power to drive headphones for tracking or mixing, while at home or on the road. An external power input (Micro USB) must be used when connecting to your iPad, using the included Cubasis software. Whether you are recording an instrument, such as guitar, or using a microphone requiring 48V phantom power, all buttons and knobs are easy to access. Coupled with the included Cubase LE software, is a powerful and intuitive music production system. And though it comes with Cubase LE, it is compatible will all major DAWs, including Avid Pro Tools, Presonus Studio One, Ableton Live, Apple Logic Pro, FL Studio, REAPER, Bitwig Studio and more.
Solid Construction
The robust aluminum housing is not only attractive, but sturdy. It is at home in the studio as well as on the road. The volume knob is made of solid aluminum, which gives it the weight and the feel of vintage studio gear.
Controls Overview
Above all else, it is a premium 22 USB 2.0 audio interface with outstanding 24-bit/192 kHz audio conversion. The SRI-2 connects to the outputs and inputs of other audio gear, and performs analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) audio conversions on the gear's signals. The digital audio signals are routed into and out of the host computer via the high speed USB 2.0 protocol, which is carried on the single USB cable (included).
Speaker AB Switching Button
The SRI-2 actually has 4 outputs (2 sets for 2 pair of speakers). (Most interfaces have only one pair of outputs). This allows you to switch the routing of your audio to either pair. This helps you evaluate your mix as you can compare on speakers of different size, configuration, etc.
SUM Button
In it's normal state input 1 will be routed to the left monitor output, and input 2 to the right monitor output. When the SUM button is engaged, however, it will combine both input signals to the main channel outputs, centering the input channels and creating a mono out to your monitors.
This is handy for a live performance setup where, for instance, a microphone is in input 1 and guitar is in input 2

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
