One interface, expanded workflows

The Yamaha URX44 is a portable and versatile audio interface designed for musicians, streamers, podcasters, and content creators – combining high-quality recording, onboard DSP processing, and flexible, hands-on control. At the front end, it features four high-quality mic preamps on combo XLR inputs (including two Hi-Z instrument inputs), high-resolution AD/DA conversion, and a comprehensive DSP system with per-channel processing, internal effects including ducking, and an internal mixer. All parameters can be adjusted via the prominent 4.3" touchscreen and five encoders, providing immediate access to routing, processing, and system settings without relying on external software. This allows the URX44 to adapt quickly to more complex workflows involving multiple sources – from DAW-based recording and small ensemble setups to streaming and content creation – with preset configurations supporting fast transitions between applications. A front-panel headset input/output further supports communication-based workflows, while an auxiliary input allows external audio sources to be brought into the mix when required.

True Sound and touchscreen

The URX44 is equipped with four microphone preamps based on Yamaha's True Sound philosophy, offering low-noise, low-distortion signal capture with a dynamic range of up to 115dB, supported by high-resolution 32-bit/192kHz conversion. Gain is set directly via the rotary controls, while the onboard DSP provides real-time processing on each input channel – including gate, compression, and EQ – allowing signals to be shaped at source for recording or broadcast. Internal effects include pitch correction, amp simulation, and reverb, with all parameters accessible via the encoders or touchscreen, supporting both quick adjustments and precise fine-tuning. Processed signals can be monitored directly and routed to the main or headphone mixes, while the built-in microSD recorder provides a direct, computer-free option for 16-track capture or backup – allowing the URX44 to operate as a fully self-contained processing, mixing, and recording front end.

From bedroom to broadcast

In addition to small groups of musicians and two-handed podcasting teams, the Yamaha URX44 will appeal to anyone working regularly with speech or music – journalists, podcasters, presenters, and streamers among them. Integrated assistive tools such as auto gain, ducking, and preset recall simplify common production tasks, reducing setup time and keeping the focus on performance and content. The clearly structured interface supports both quick operation and more detailed adjustment, while Simple Mode provides a streamlined entry point for less experienced users. In dynamic environments such as live presentations, interviews, or streaming setups, the URX44 maintains stable and predictable operation, with integrated delay allowing precise compensation for audio latency when working alongside video.

About Yamaha

For decades, Yamaha has been one of the world's best-known manufacturers of musical instruments and audio technology. The Japanese company's long history began at the end of the 19th century with the harmonium. The product range has constantly expanded since then, which has made Yamaha one of the few manufacturers today to offer almost the entire range of existing musical instruments: From upright and grand pianos to guitars, wind instruments, and bowed string instruments and from drums and percussion to electronic keyboards and synthesizers. Yamaha is also a major force in the field of audio engineering as a manufacturer of mixing consoles, amplifiers, PA systems, and more. Yamaha's guiding principle is to combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology.

Seamless integration

Compatible with OBS Studio, Elgato Stream Deck, and similar production tools, the Yamaha URX44 integrates cleanly into existing workflows. Its dual USB architecture allows flexible routing: the MAIN connection supports up to 18 channels of recording and playback, while the SUB USB port provides an additional 2-channel path for streaming, backup recording, or external playback. Four balanced outputs feed desks, interfaces, or outboard gear, while the built-in microSD recorder offers a reliable standalone capture option – ideal for live situations or as a safety net alongside a DAW. A comprehensive software bundle rounds out the package, featuring Cubase AI for recording, WaveLab Cast for post-production, and Steinberg Plus for virtual instruments and creative tools. Essential connectivity is well covered, with 48V phantom power, two Hi-Z instrument inputs, and dual headphone outputs for flexible monitoring. The robust all-metal chassis and high-quality controls mean the URX44 travels as well as it performs – equally at home on a studio desk or a mobile rig.

Eierlegende Wollmilchsau mit Kinderkrankheiten
Ralf K 05.03.2026
Das Audiointerface URX 44 von Yamaha hat auf den ersten Blick einige interessante Features: integrierte DSP- Effekte, Touchscreen und sogar einen integrierten SD- Recorder. Eigentlich alles super, auch die technischen Daten. Jetzt das große Aber: die Bedienung ist sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig und nicht wirklich intuitiv. Hat mich erstmal viel Zeit und Nerven gekostet, überhaupt mal einen Ton in das Gerät hinein und wieder hinaus zu bekommen. Treiber installiert, Firmware upgedatet ( dauert Stunden trotz schnellem Internet), Audiointerface in Logic ausgewählt. Kein Ton, weder über Kopfhörer noch über Line Out. Online Anleitungen und Turorials gewälzt... nach einigem Herumprobieren klappt es dann im Simple Mode. Da hat man zwar weniger Einstellmöglichkeiten, aber Immerhin funktioniert das Gerät. Im Standard- Mode habe ich es nach einigem Rumprobieren auch geschafft, das Teil irgendwie zum Laufen zu bringen. Klang soweit gut, auch die Möglichkeit, dem Pegel quasi automatisch einmessen zu lassen. Latenz in Logic ca 7,2 ms. Das ist ganz passabel.
Im Livemodus kann das Interface theoretisch auch betrieben werden, für vielleicht Singer- Songwriter. Da gibt es sogar ein paar integrierte Effekte und u.a. paar Ampsimulationen. Die sind klanglich soweit ganz Ok, aber sehr Basic und mit kaum Einstellmöglichkeiten. Ein paar Presets für akustische oder elektrische Gitarre oder eben Mikrofon. Man kann da z.B. Reverb dazuschalten aber irgendwie habe ich keine Möglichkeit gefunden, z.B. die Hallintensität zu regulieren. Merkwürdig.
Völlig unbrauchbar ist der integrierte SD Recorder. Eigentlich ein nützliches Gimmick. Aber in der jetzigen Firmwareversion noch ziemlich buggy. Die erzeugten Aufnahmen konnte ich irgendwie nicht abspielen. Und wenn man dann zwar theoretisch mehrere Spuren gleichzeitig aufnehmen und dann laut Spezifikationen mit dem Interface selbst nur zwei Spuren gleichzeitig abspielen kann ist das Grütze. Da bin ich von meinem Tascam Model 12 oder Zoom L12 besseres gewohnt. Sie sind eben leider etwas weniger kompakt, aber bieten echte Nutzbarkeit als Mehrspurrecorder. Mag sein, dass da durch ein Firmware Update beim URX 44 noch etwas verbessert wird, aber so ist die SD-Recorderfunktion für mich völlig unbrauchbar.
Insgesamt bleiben bei dem Gerät jetzt doch eher gemischte Gefühle. Wenn es nicht so stylisch und klanglich im DAW Modus doch recht gut wäre , würde ich es sofort zurückschicken. So bin ich noch am überlegen, wie viele der " Kinderkrankheiten " ich dem URX 44 verzeihen will, in der Hoffnung, dass vielleicht mit einem Update alles besser wird...
