For audio and video creators, interfaces and controllers are turning into genuine command centres. With the URX series and the CC1 controller, Yamaha is offering an ecosystem designed for recording, streaming and editing, all from a compact home studio desk in the UK.
On the menu: three 32-bit / 192 kHz audio interfaces with built-in DSP, modern USB-C connectivity, compatibility with the most widely used creative tools, plus a compact controller dedicated to driving your digital audio workstation.
A URX series designed for recording and streaming
The URX range comes in three desktop audio interface models. All operate at 32-bit / 192 kHz, feature two USB-C ports and rely on touch-screen control, which greatly simplifies managing settings directly from the interface.
All three models share a signal-processing engine that lets you apply effects without leaving your workflow: compression, EQ, amp simulation, voice transformation, delays, reverbs, multiband dynamics and other built-in effects. This allows you to shape a ready-to-use sound for podcasts, streaming or post-production, without stacking plug-ins on your computer.
URX22: the versatile entry-level option for creators
The URX22 opens the series with a 2-in / 2-out interface. Despite its entry-level positioning, it can record up to 16 tracks simultaneously. It also includes an extra USB port, handy for connecting a mobile device.
The URX22 is designed to slot into a broadcast-focused creative setup: it works with OBS Studio and can be controlled in combination with Stream Deck-type controllers. For a UK content creator looking to build a compact setup for Twitch, YouTube or podcasting, this model provides a complete audio foundation.
URX44: more inputs and microSD recording
One step up, the URX44 follows the same design philosophy while doubling the inputs and outputs compared with the URX22. USB recording increases to 18 tracks, opening the door to more complex projects, whether for music, post-production or talk formats with several guests.
The interface is not limited to your computer: it can also capture up to 16 tracks onto a microSD card. This option will particularly appeal to users who want to record without powering up their main machine, or keep a direct backup of their sessions.
URX44V: HDMI capture for a video-focused setup
The most fully featured version, the URX44V, takes everything from the URX44 and adds a major plus for video: an HDMI-to-USB input for audio/video capture, along with HDMI passthrough. In practice, this lets you grab the signal from a camera or a PC dedicated to streaming while sending it on to another device.
This positioning makes it a suitable solution for video content creators who want to centralise both sound and vision in a single box, whether for live streaming or recording sessions to be edited later in a workstation.
CC1: a compact controller for your digital audio workstation
To complement the URX interfaces, Yamaha offers the CC1, a USB control surface designed to drive the main digital audio workstations. The idea is to replace some of your mouse clicks with physical controls, while keeping a compact footprint that fits easily on a home studio desk.
At the centre of the CC1 is a 100 mm touch-sensitive motorised fader, ideal for writing precise automation. Twelve assignable LCD keys let you quickly recall key workstation functions, while four multifunction encoders handle settings such as level, pan or EQ.
The controller thus provides direct access to transport, channel control and the EQ section, easing the transition between the software world and hands-on mixing on a real controller.
