Minimal Effort. Maximum Performance.
Perfect for streamers, podcasters, gamers, and vocalist/ musicians in particular, the URX22 is a compact, portable powerhouse punching well above its weight class in sound quality and system capability. When you demand professional-level audio but without the often frustrating and complicated setup and operation that usually comes with it, the URX22 is a minimalist’s dream, delivering professional-level results, yet with an effortless setup and workflow that won’t hinder your creativity.


Pristine, True Sound Reproduction
The pristine 192 kHz / 32-bit resolution, combined with high-end AD/DA converters, delivers pure input and output sound that faithfully reproduces the vividness and life of every moment in your recordings, productions, and edits—without compromise.


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 on stage, 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 mini 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 / 16-track playback
- USB SUB: 2-track recording / 2-track 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
Smart 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, and even a Delay for lip-sync adjustment.
With these features, your 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.
