Yamaha URX22C USB Audio Interface

Two D-PRE Inputs, 32-Bit Audio and Onboard DSP in One Desktop Interface

The Yamaha URX22C is a 2-in/2-out USB-C audio and MIDI interface with 32-bit/192 kHz support. Two mic/line combo inputs on Yamaha D-PRE mic preamps make it a capable front end for vocals, acoustic instruments, guitar, podcasts and streaming.

Onboard DSP, controlled through Yamaha’s dspMixFx software, adds REV-X reverb, a channel strip, amp simulation and more without loading your computer. MIDI IN and OUT ports connect a keyboard or sound module directly.

Two combo inputs on D-PRE preamps

Both inputs accept XLR microphones or line-level jacks, with +48V phantom power for condenser microphones and a 54 dB gain range. Yamaha describes its D-PRE preamps as delivering outstanding fidelity alongside premium A/D converters.

Hi-Z switch for electric guitar

Input 2 has a Hi-Z switch, so an electric guitar can be plugged in directly. Pair it with the Guitar Amp Classics amp simulation in the onboard DSP.

DSP effects through dspMixFx

The built-in DSP offers Gate, Compressor, Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip, Guitar Amp Classics, Pitch Fix, Ducker, Multi-Band Compressor, Compander, Delay and REV-X reverb. Yamaha notes that dspMixFx also integrates with Elgato’s Stream Deck.

Loopback for streaming and content

A loopback function lets you combine computer audio with your microphones for live streams and online calls, using the 32-bit/192 kHz USB Type-C connection.

MIDI IN and OUT built in

Dedicated MIDI IN and OUT ports connect hardware synths and controllers, while two TRS main outputs and a TRS headphone output handle monitoring.

Cubase AI, Basic FX Suite and Steinberg Plus

Yamaha includes licence cards for Cubase AI, Basic FX Suite and Steinberg Plus, together with a setup guide and USB cable.

Q. How many microphones can I record at once?

Two. Both inputs are mic/line combo jacks with +48V phantom power, so you can record two microphones, or a microphone and a guitar using the Hi-Z switch on input 2.

Q. Can I use it for live streaming?

Yes. The URX22C has a loopback function and onboard DSP effects such as REV-X reverb, compressor and Pitch Fix, which you can set up in dspMixFx.

Q. What's included in the box?

Yamaha lists a setup guide, a USB cable and licence cards for Cubase AI, Basic FX Suite and Steinberg Plus. Microphones, headphones and speakers are separate.

Q. How is it different from the URX44C?

The URX44C is the larger 6-in/4-out model with four combo inputs, two extra line inputs, four outputs and two headphone outputs. The URX22C suits one- or two-person recording on a compact desk.
