Yamaha URX44W Premium Audio Interface White

The Yamaha URX44W is a premium USB Type-C audio interface that bridges the gap between compact desktop units and full-blown studio rigs. With studio-grade conversion, powerful onboard DSP and flexible routing, it is built for creators who are ready to move beyond entry-level gear and demand reliable, professional results for recording, streaming and live production.

At the heart of the URX44W are Yamaha True Sound mic preamps and high-spec AD/DA converters, delivering up to 192 kHz / 32-bit resolution with a huge dynamic range. Whether you are tracking vocals, guitars, synths or full band sessions, the URX44W captures every detail with clarity and headroom, keeping noise and distortion out of your mixes. Four combo inputs, an additional stereo AUX input and four analogue outputs give you plenty of I/O for modern hybrid setups.

Where the URX44W really stands out is workflow. A 4.3-inch touch LCD and Yamaha’s TOUCH AND TURN control make it easy to manage routing, cue mixes and DSP processing directly from the unit, without diving into menus on your computer. Dual USB ports and a microSD slot unlock advanced recording options, from 18-track multitrack capture over USB to 16-track standalone recording straight to card, ideal for mobile sessions, backup and post-production remixing.

Onboard DSP provides a full suite of studio tools, including channel dynamics, EQ, guitar amp modelling, pitch correction and high-quality REV-X reverb, all with low latency. Scene Recall lets you store and instantly switch between complete setups, so you can move from podcasting to band tracking to live streaming in seconds. With dual independent headphone outputs for collaborative monitoring and a sleek white finish, the URX44W is a powerful, flexible centrepiece for serious creators.

True Sound Preamps and Conversion

Yamaha’s True Sound preamps deliver up to 78 dB of gain with a 125 dB dynamic range at the main output, so even quiet sources are captured cleanly without hiss or unwanted artefacts. Combined with 192 kHz / 32-bit conversion and carefully tuned AD/DA stages, the URX44W preserves the depth, punch and stereo detail of your performances, making it easier to mix confidently and achieve release-ready results.

Flexible I/O and Routing for Modern Setups

With four combo inputs for mic, line or Hi-Z instruments plus a 3.5 mm stereo AUX input, the URX44W accommodates everything from vocal mics and guitars to synths and media players. Four TRS analogue outputs give you options for main monitors, outboard processing or additional speaker feeds. Routing is handled directly from the front panel via the touch LCD and encoders, allowing you to build custom signal paths, cue sends and returns tailored to your studio, streaming or live rig.

microSD Multitrack and Dual USB Connectivity

The URX44W’s integrated microSD slot enables 16-track standalone recording and 2-track playback without a computer, ideal for capturing rehearsals, gigs or sessions as a secure backup. Over USB MAIN you can record and play back up to 18 tracks at full 32-bit resolution, while the USB SUB port offers an additional 2-track path at 16-bit. This dual USB architecture makes it easy to integrate a second device for streaming, backup recording or remote guests without compromising your main session.

Touchscreen DSP Control and Scene Recall

The 4.3-inch touch LCD and TOUCH AND TURN knob put comprehensive DSP mixing at your fingertips. You can shape channels 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 with minimal latency. Once you have dialled in your perfect setup, Scene Recall lets you store and instantly reload complete configurations, so you can switch between different shows, sessions or streaming layouts in moments.

• microSD Multitrack Recording - Capture up to 16 tracks directly to microSD while simultaneously enjoying 2-track playback, giving you reliable backup, mobile recording flexibility and easy options for later remixing.
• True Sound Preamps - Benefit from a 78 dB gain range and 125 dB dynamic range at the main output, ensuring clean, detailed recordings with minimal noise, even when using low-output microphones.
• Flexible Routing Control - Use the dual USB MAIN/SUB ports and intuitive front-panel routing to integrate multiple computers or devices, building adaptive setups for recording, streaming and live performance.
• Professional DSP Mixing - Access powerful onboard DSP via the touch LCD, with stereo mix buses, cue control and studio-quality effects that keep latency low and your monitoring polished for tracking and broadcast.

Professional DSP Mixing

The URX44W offers a fully featured DSP mixer accessible from its 4.3-inch touch LCD, so you can manage levels, pans and processing without relying solely on software. Stereo mix buses and dedicated cue controls let you create separate monitor mixes for performers and engineers, while onboard effects such as Gate, Compressor, EQ, Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip, Guitar Amp Classics, Pitch Fix, Ducker, Multi Band Compressor, Compander, Delay and REV-X Reverb give you a complete toolkit for shaping sound at source. Because all processing runs on the interface, you benefit from minimal latency, making it ideal for confident tracking, live streaming and broadcast-style production where responsive monitoring is critical.

Collaborative Monitoring

Two independent headphone outputs on the URX44W allow separate cue mixes for different performers or engineers, each with its own level and routing. This is perfect for vocal sessions where the singer needs more reverb and backing track, while the producer prefers a drier, more analytical mix. In live or rehearsal situations, band members can monitor click, guide tracks or talkback independently, improving communication and performance. By handling these cue mixes directly on the interface, you reduce the need for external headphone amps and keep your monitoring setup clean and efficient.

Rapid Workflow Switching

Scene Recall on the URX44W lets you store complete configurations of routing, levels, DSP settings and monitoring setups, then recall them instantly. This is invaluable if you regularly switch between different projects, such as podcasting, band tracking, solo streaming or live performance. Instead of rebuilding your mix and routing from scratch, you simply load the appropriate scene and get straight to work. This not only saves time but also ensures consistency between sessions, helping you maintain a smooth, uninterrupted creative flow and reducing the risk of routing errors mid-show.
