Description

The Yamaha URX22C USB-C audio interface brings streamlined recording and mixing to desktop and mobile setups. Built around Yamaha’s custom DSP and Steinberg’s advanced software suite, this unit is designed for fast, distraction-free workflow. The full-metal chassis houses two combo inputs with D-PRE mic preamps, MIDI I/O, and zero-latency DSP-powered monitoring—making it easy to track, stream, or create content with pro-grade sound. Plug straight into a Mac, PC, or iOS device, then balance your mix and dial effects using the dspMixFx app. With included Cubase AI and Basic FX Suite, users can jump right into multi-track projects, live streaming, or podcasting without dealing with software compatibility issues or complex setup.

Yamaha DSP and dspMixFx App Manage Sound in Real Time

The unit’s custom DSP chip powers onboard effects and direct monitoring, controlled through the intuitive dspMixFx app. Adjust input and output levels, add channel strip processing, and blend in reverb or guitar amp simulation—all with simple touchscreen controls. This lets users sculpt tone, monitor without latency, and record with studio polish, even before mixing.

Class-A D-PRE Mic Preamps Add Clarity and Headroom

Each XLR/TRS combo input features Yamaha’s D-PRE preamp circuit with +48V phantom power for condenser microphones. The design delivers low noise and high dynamic range, so vocals and instruments sound clear and full. A dedicated Hi-Z input handles electric guitar or bass, capturing direct signals without distortion or loss of detail.

Streamlined Setup With USB 3.0, MIDI I/O, and Cross-Platform Support

The interface connects to computers and mobile devices with the included USB-C cable. MIDI ports allow easy integration with keyboards or controllers. Setup is simple: just install the Steinberg software bundle and start recording with Cubase AI or controlling mixes in dspMixFx. Everything needed for multi-track sessions, live streams, or podcasts is included in the box.

Durable Construction for Mobile and Studio Use

Yamaha built this unit with a rugged metal enclosure to stand up to travel and daily use. The solid housing resists dings and drops, and all jacks are reinforced for repeated plugging and unplugging. Compact design makes it easy to carry, while sturdy build means it stays reliable in studio racks or mobile rigs.

User Experience With Yamaha URX22C Audio Interface

Content creators, musicians and streamers who want a direct, fast setup will find this audio interface simple and reliable. The combination of DSP-powered mixing, easy controls, and bundled Steinberg software streamlines multi-track recording, live streaming and production. Real-time monitoring and onboard effects help users create polished tracks while focusing energy on music and content.
