Yamaha URX22 W

The Yamaha URX22 W (White) is a compact 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface that effortlessly adapts to modern workflows for music production, streaming and podcasting. The URX series consists of multiple models, with the URX22 focusing on audio-only applications with a strong focus on sound quality, intuitive operation and flexible connectivity options. With 32-bit/192kHz resolution, high-quality AD/DA converters and Yamaha's proprietary URX microphone preamplifiers, you'll capture every detail with fidelity and clarity. The built-in touchscreen gives instant access to settings, DSP mixing and effects, so you can work quickly and efficiently.

Capture every detail
The URX22W is designed to accurately capture nuance and dynamics. The URX preamps offer up to 78 dB of low-distortion gain, making it easy to use even microphones that require high gain (such as an SM7B). The outputs have a dynamic range of up to 125 dB, while internal AD/DA conversion with 32-bit/192kHz ensures wide dynamic range, low noise and a high level of detail retention. This makes the URX22 suitable for both studio recording and live content creation.

Connections for diverse applications
The URX22 features dual Main/Sub USB-C ports, which allow audio to be sent simultaneously to multiple systems. There are also two headphone outputs, a separate headset jack with two jacks, and an AUX input for external audio sources. This configuration makes the interface suitable for solo creators, duo setups and compact streaming or podcasting sets.

Intuitive and smooth operation
The controls revolve around a bright touchscreen that provides instant access to settings, DSP mixing and effects. Four freely assignable rotary knobs and the Touch & Turn encoder let you fine-tune parameters. The internal DSP offers Gate, Compressor, EQ, Reverb, Amp simulations and a Voice Changer, among others. Features like Smart Gain, Clip Safe and Total FX - including Ducker and Multi-Band Compressor - help keep levels controlled and consistent. Scene Recall and Simple Mode allow you to quickly switch between different setups without interrupting the creative process.

Seamless Software Integration
The URX22 fits within a broader ecosystem of production software and compatible controllers. Combined with applications such as Elgato Tools and OBS Studio, it creates a stable workflow for recording, streaming and content creation, where audio, video and control come together logically.

Inputs, AUX and USB recording
The Yamaha URX Series functions as a 2-in / 2-out USB audio interface towards computer or DAW. The two XLR/jack combo inputs on the rear are fixed, independent recording channels and appear as separate inputs in the DAW. In addition to these inputs, the URX22 has additional physical connections, such as the AUX input (3.5 mm) and a headset microphone jack. These connections act as internal audio sources and are managed through the built-in DSP mixer.

In the DSP mixer, you determine:

• which physical sources are audible
• how these sources are mixed
• whether they are sent to your DAW

The AUX and headset inputs can be recorded, but not as separate DAW channels. They are mixed internally and sent to the computer as one source. This makes them suitable for adding external audio, such as a smartphone or tablet, but not intended as additional separate recording channels.
