Yamaha URX44 BK

The URX44 is equipped with four microphone preamps based on Yamaha's True Sound philosophy, offering low-noise, low-distortion signal capture with a dynamic range of up to 115dB, supported by high-resolution 32-bit/192kHz conversion. Gain is set directly via the rotary controls, while the onboard DSP provides real-time processing on each input channel – including gate, compression, and EQ – allowing signals to be shaped at source for recording or broadcast. Internal effects include pitch correction, amp simulation, and reverb, with all parameters accessible via the encoders or touchscreen, supporting both quick adjustments and precise fine-tuning. Processed signals can be monitored directly and routed to the main or headphone mixes, while the built-in microSD recorder provides a direct, computer-free option for 16-track capture or backup – allowing the URX44 to operate as a fully self-contained processing, mixing, and recording front end.

For decades, Yamaha has been one of the world's best-known manufacturers of musical instruments and audio technology. The Japanese company's long history began at the end of the 19th century with the harmonium. The product range has constantly expanded since then, which has made Yamaha one of the few manufacturers today to offer almost the entire range of existing musical instruments: From upright and grand pianos to guitars, wind instruments, and bowed string instruments and from drums and percussion to electronic keyboards and synthesizers. Yamaha is also a major force in the field of audio engineering as a manufacturer of mixing consoles, amplifiers, PA systems, and more. Yamaha's guiding principle is to combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology.
