Yamaha URX44B Premium Audio Interface Black

The Yamaha URX44B is a premium USB Type-C audio interface designed for creators who have outgrown entry-level gear and need serious studio power in a compact desktop unit. With Yamaha True Sound preamps, 192 kHz / 32-bit conversion, flexible dual USB connectivity and onboard DSP mixing, it is built to handle multitrack recording, streaming, podcasting and live performance with professional clarity and control.

At the heart of the URX44B are four studio-grade mic preamps delivering up to 78 dB of gain and a 125 dB dynamic range at the main output, letting you capture quiet sources and dynamic performances without unwanted noise. High-spec AD/DA converters and a 192 kHz / 32-bit signal path preserve every detail of your sound, whether you are tracking vocals, guitars, synths or full-band sessions. With support for up to 18 tracks over USB MAIN and 16-track standalone recording to microSD, it is equally at home in a fixed studio or a portable rig.

Routing and mixing are handled directly from the front panel via a 4.3 inch touch LCD and Yamaha’s TOUCH AND TURN knob, giving you fast, tactile access to cue mixes, channel processing and output levels. Onboard DSP includes compressors, EQ, guitar amp modelling, pitch correction and REV-X reverb, so you can shape sounds and deliver polished mixes with minimal latency, whether you are monitoring, streaming or recording.

For modern creators juggling multiple platforms, the URX44B’s dual USB ports and flexible routing make it easy to integrate DAWs, streaming software, mobile devices and external players into a single, coherent workflow. Scene Recall lets you store and instantly recall complete setups, so you can move from writing to mixing to live streaming without reconfiguring your entire system each time.

True Sound Preamps and Conversion

The URX44B’s Yamaha True Sound preamps offer a huge 78 dB gain range, so you can comfortably drive dynamic, ribbon and condenser microphones without resorting to external boosters. With a 125 dB dynamic range at the main output and 192 kHz / 32-bit conversion, your recordings retain depth, punch and nuance, even after heavy processing and mixdown.

Flexible Multitrack Recording

With 18-track recording and playback via the USB MAIN port, the URX44B can handle full-band sessions, complex podcast setups and multi-source streaming with ease. Four Combo inputs and a dedicated 3.5 mm stereo AUX input let you connect microphones, instruments and line-level devices simultaneously, while four TRS analogue outputs provide plenty of options for speakers, outboard gear or separate monitor sends.

Onboard DSP and Touch Control

The 4.3 inch touch LCD and TOUCH AND TURN knob put comprehensive DSP mixing at your fingertips. You can access channel gates, compressors, EQ, Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip, Guitar Amp Classics, Pitch Fix, Ducker, Multi Band Compressor, Compander, Delay and REV-X Reverb directly from the interface. This means you can build broadcast-ready mixes with low latency, monitor through effects and keep your computer CPU free for instruments and plug-ins.

Dual USB and Scene Recall

Dual USB Type-C ports (MAIN and SUB) allow you to integrate multiple devices and applications into one system, such as a DAW on one connection and a streaming or conferencing platform on the other. Combined with intuitive panel routing and Scene Recall, you can store complete configurations for different tasks and switch between them in seconds, keeping your creative flow uninterrupted.

• microSD Multitrack Recording - Standalone 16-track recording and 2-track playback to microSD lets you capture sessions without a computer, create reliable backups and revisit performances for post-production remixing.
• True Sound Preamps - A 78 dB gain range and 125 dB dynamic range at the main output deliver clean, detailed capture, preserving subtle dynamics and transients while keeping noise and distortion to a minimum.
• Flexible Routing Control - Dual USB MAIN/SUB ports and intuitive front-panel routing make it easy to combine DAWs, streaming software and external devices into adaptive setups tailored to studio, stage or content creation.
• Professional DSP Mixing - Built-in DSP provides low-latency processing with channel dynamics, EQ, guitar amps, pitch correction and REV-X reverb, so you can craft polished mixes for tracking, streaming and broadcast without overloading your computer.

Professional DSP Mixing

The URX44B’s DSP mixer is accessed directly from the 4.3 inch touch LCD, giving you a clear overview of channels, levels and processing. Stereo mix buses and flexible cue control allow you to create separate monitor mixes for performers, stream feeds and control room listening. With Gate, Compressor, EQ, Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip, Guitar Amp Classics, Pitch Fix, Ducker, Multi Band Compressor, Compander, Delay and REV-X Reverb all running on the interface itself, you get consistent, low-latency processing regardless of your computer load, ideal for live streaming and broadcast-style workflows.

Collaborative Monitoring

Two independent headphone outputs make the URX44B a strong choice for collaborative sessions. Each output can be assigned its own cue mix, allowing an artist and engineer, or two performers, to hear exactly what they need without compromise. This is particularly useful in vocal sessions, podcast interviews or live performance monitoring, where different contributors may require distinct balances of backing tracks, click, talkback and effects to perform at their best.

Rapid Workflow Switching

Scene Recall lets you store complete configurations of routing, levels and DSP settings, then recall them instantly from the front panel. You can keep dedicated scenes for recording, mixing, streaming, rehearsals or live sets, dramatically reducing setup time between tasks. Instead of rebuilding your signal flow every time you change project type, you simply load the appropriate scene and get straight back to creating, helping you stay focused and productive.
