Yamaha URX44C USB-C Audio Interface with Software Suite - Black | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha URX44C USB-C Audio Interface delivers professional-grade recording and streaming capabilities with 32-bit/192kHz audio resolution, four D-PRE mic preamps, and comprehensive DSP-powered mixing for multi-person productions. This versatile 6-in/4-out interface features flexible I/O configuration including four combo inputs, dual headphone outputs with independent volume control, and three-channel loopback for seamless streaming integration. Bundled with Cubase AI, Cubasis LE, Basic FX Suite, and Steinberg Plus content, the URX44C provides complete recording, mixing, and streaming solutions for podcasters, content creators, bands, and home studio producers demanding broadcast-quality audio.
Product Overview
The URX44C's robust metal housing contains Yamaha's renowned D-PRE mic preamps delivering transparent, low-noise amplification with exceptional headroom for dynamic vocal performances and sensitive instrument recording. All four combo inputs accept XLR microphones or 1/4-inch line-level sources with switchable +48V phantom power, while input 2 features a Hi-Z switch for direct connection of electric guitars and basses without external DI boxes. The 32-bit integer/192kHz conversion ensures studio-grade fidelity that captures every nuance of your performance with professional clarity and depth.
The internal DSP processor powers the dspMixFx application, providing latency-free monitoring with real-time effects processing that doesn't burden your computer's CPU resources. This dedicated mixing engine manages complex routing scenarios including two mono input channels, three stereo loopback channels, and dedicated FX bus, enabling sophisticated monitor mixes for multiple performers without compromising recording quality. The streamlined control interface makes DSP mixing accessible even for users new to audio engineering, reducing setup time and technical complexity.
Dual headphone outputs with independent volume controls allow separate monitor mixes for different performers, essential for collaborative recording sessions where vocalists need reverb-enhanced monitoring while instrumentalists prefer dry signals. Two TRS line outputs provide main monitoring to studio speakers or PA systems, with master volume control accessible from the front panel for quick adjustments during sessions. The three-channel loopback system enables simultaneous routing of music playback, communication applications, and system audio to streaming platforms, creating professional broadcasts without external mixing hardware.

Key Features
32-Bit/192kHz Audio Resolution with D-PRE Preamps
The professional-grade conversion delivers exceptional dynamic range and frequency response that captures subtle performance details with transparent accuracy. Yamaha's D-PRE preamps provide clean, musical amplification trusted by recording studios worldwide, ensuring your recordings translate well across all playback systems. The 32-bit integer recording format offers unprecedented headroom that prevents clipping during dynamic performances, while 192kHz sample rate captures extended frequency information for critical listening applications and audio post-production.
DSP-Powered Mixing with dspMixFx Application
Dedicated DSP processor handles mixing and effects processing independently from your computer, eliminating latency during recording and preserving CPU resources for virtual instruments and plugins. The intuitive dspMixFx interface provides graphical control over input routing, monitor mixing, and effect parameters without complex menu diving. Latency-free monitoring with real-time effects lets performers hear polished sound during tracking, improving performance quality and reducing the need for extensive post-production.
Flexible Input Configuration for Multiple Sources
Four combo inputs accept microphones and line-level instruments simultaneously, accommodating diverse recording scenarios from solo podcasting to four-piece band tracking. The Hi-Z input on channel 2 provides proper impedance matching for passive electric guitars and basses, delivering full tonal character without requiring external direct boxes. Switchable +48V phantom power supports condenser microphones on all inputs, with individual control preventing accidental damage to ribbon microphones and dynamic sources.
Three-Channel Loopback System for Streaming
Independent loopback channels route computer audio, communication apps, and backing tracks to your streaming platform while maintaining clean separation for post-production mixing. This sophisticated routing enables professional livestreams where you can blend live performance, pre-recorded music, and guest communication with precise level control. The system integrates seamlessly with popular streaming platforms and communication tools, eliminating the need for virtual audio routing software or complex configuration.
Dual Independent Headphone Outputs
Separate headphone amplifiers with dedicated volume controls allow different monitor mixes for collaborating performers, essential for sessions where vocalists need effects-enhanced monitoring while instrumentalists prefer direct sound. High-power headphone amplification drives professional monitoring headphones to appropriate levels without distortion, ensuring accurate monitoring across impedance ranges. This independent control prevents volume conflicts and accommodates performers with different monitoring preferences without compromise.
Comprehensive Software Bundle
Cubase AI provides professional DAW capabilities for recording, editing, and mixing multi-track projects with intuitive workflow and professional effects. Cubasis LE extends production capability to iPad and iPhone for mobile recording and songwriting sessions. The Basic FX Suite includes essential processing tools for polish and professional finish, while Steinberg Plus membership delivers ongoing content updates, sample libraries, and plugin additions that expand your creative palette without additional investment.
Elgato Stream Deck Integration
Native support for Elgato Stream Deck controllers enables tactile control over recording, mixing, and streaming functions without mouse clicking or keyboard shortcuts. This professional integration streamlines complex broadcasting workflows, allowing quick transitions between scenes, audio sources, and effects with physical button presses. The combination creates broadcast-studio functionality accessible to content creators at all experience levels.
