Overview:
Take your podcasts, streams, and content creation to the next level with the Yamaha URX22, a 4x2 audio interface featuring intuitive controls with an LCD touchscreen GUI and customizable knobs for a speedy workflow. With onboard DSP-powered mixing and effects, and up to 32-bit / 192 kHz audio support, the URX22 is a versatile creative toolkit.
Two USB-C ports are available—Main and Sub—with Main offering up to 18-track recording and playback and Sub providing two-track audio. I/O includes two XLR-1/4" combo mic / line / Hi-Z inputs with up to 78 dB of gain, stereo 1/4" TRS line and main outputs, dual 1/4" headphone outputs, and several 3.5mm jacks for headset, mic/line, and aux connections. The URX22 includes a USB-C cable and a suite of Steinberg audio production software to get you started.
Pristine, True Sound Reproduction
The pristine 32-bit / 192 kHz resolution combined with high-end AD/DA converters deliver pure input and output sound that faithfully reproduces the vividness and life of every moment in your recordings, productions, and edits.
Creative Tools for Your Signature Sound
The URX also offers creative tools like gate, compressor, EQ, reverb, amp simulator, and voice changer (Pitch Fix), letting you shape your sound exactly as you've envisioned. And with clear, comfortable monitoring onstage, in the studio, or during a stream, every moment you capture will resonate with your distinctive sound.
Connect and Collaborate
With two combo inputs offering 78 dB of gain range and one stereo 3.5mm aux input, you can connect any microphone or instrument, while two headphone ports allow you to create with collaborators and monitor with precision in the studio or on stage.
Flexible Integration
By making full use of the flexible routing functions and dual Main/Sub USB ports, you can integrate a wide range of audio sources and devices into a setup that adapts to your creative process and production workflow.
USB Main: 16-track recording and playback
USB Sub: 2-track recording and playback
Intuitive Control at Your Fingertips
With a feature-packed GUI, an intuitive touch LCD, four customizable knobs, and the Touch and Turn knob, you can experience fast, precise, and effortless control right at your fingertips.
Assistive Tools for Pro-Level Sound
Auto Gain optimizes input volumes, Clip Safe prevents sudden distortion, and Total FX gives you tools like the Ducker—automatically prioritizing important sounds—and a multi-band compressor to conveniently enhance your overall audio quality. You even get a delay for lip-sync adjustment. With these features, URX keeps your workflow smooth and your sound consistently professional in any situation.
Quick Setup Changes with Scene Recall
With a Scene Recall function similar to those on a professional digital mixing console, you can switch between different setups or applications with the touch of a button. You can even pair it with Simple mode for extra support, allowing you to stay focused on what matters most—your creativity.
Comprehensive Creative Software and Hardware
A complete suite of Steinberg music production software, together with the free software mixer MixKey, provides support for everyone, from beginners just starting out to experienced engineers and creators looking to branch out into new production styles or content creation. With Yamaha's lineup of speakers, microphones, headphones, and more, you can build a system that grows and evolves right alongside your developing skills and creative workflow.
Seamless Controller Integration for a Custom Workflow
Seamless integration with Elgato’s Stream Deck and OBS Studio enhances the smoothness and reliability of all controls. In addition, future support for URX remote operation through Stream Deck—along with ongoing development and further feature expansion—is planned to continuously extend these capabilities. This will enable you to build a workflow that is truly your own and focus entirely on music production, streaming, video content creation, and performance.
