More Connections for Unlimited Creativity
If you're a multi-instrumental musician, podcaster, or producer looking for a compact system with impressive functionality that can handle recording, production, and streaming performance for professional use, the URX44 is the ideal all-in-one system to capture and broadcast your boundless creativity.
The diverse number of audio sources enabled by its extensive I/O and routing, along with professional-quality effects and assistive features such as auto gain, are all integrated into the unit’s touch-panel GUI and controllers, providing intuitive, fast operation that unleashes your full creative freedom.


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 four 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: 18-track recording / 18-track playback
- USB SUB: 2-track recording / 2-track playback


microSD Multi-Track Recording
With the URX44V/URX44, you can record up to 16 tracks of audio and play back 2 tracks directly from a microSD card.
So whether you're capturing a mobile standalone recording session, creating a reliable backup, re-editing your recorded multitracks in post-production to refine the balance and produce a polished master, or playing background music at a venue, you can confidently deliver pro-quality sound anywhere.


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.


1. Music Production Setup with DAW
This setup supports music production by integrating vocals, guitars, keyboards, and synthesizers into the URX44.
A condenser microphone, electric guitar (Hi-Z), electric piano, and an auxiliary synthesizer are routed into the interface, with monitoring provided through headphones or monitor speakers.
The mixed signals are sent via USB to a DAW such as Cubase for high-quality multitrack recording.

2. DAW Streaming Setup
This setup expands the URX44 workflow to support both music production and livestreaming.
Dynamic microphones for host and guest vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, and a synthesizer are connected to the interface, with monitoring handled through headphones and monitor speakers.
Audio is routed via USB to a DAW or streaming software such as Cubase or OBS, while a multitrack backup can be recorded to a microSD card in the URX44.
The CC1 USB Controller provides hands-on control of streaming or DAW operations for smooth production and broadcast.
