Yamaha has launched four new audio interfaces, as it announces the rebranding of the renowned UR series – previously offered under the Steinberg banner – as Yamaha products. The new Yamaha UR-mk3 and URX-C interfaces inherit the features and reliability of the Steinberg UR series for music production and streaming.
The UR12mk3 and UR22mk3 provide a compact package with all the essential features for beginners. The interface features a high quality UR microphone preamp which supports 192kHz, 24-bit resolution recording, a compact design for easy portability and intuitive level adjustment controls, as well as convenient front panel monitor and mute options.
They come bundled with Steinberg Cubase AI music production software, for easy multitrack recording and editing, free sound expansion and effects with Steinberg Plus, as well as the innovative MixKey software to simplify streaming applications.
Available in black or white, UR-mk3 interfaces support every step of the creative process, such as capturing vocals and instruments, creating and enhancing tracks, and broadcasting live performances in real time.
The URX22C and URX44C interfaces offer a complete, intuitive solution for novice and intermediate users who need a high-quality recording and live streaming experience. With integrated workflow and comprehensive mixing capabilities powered by Yamaha’s custom DSP, along with simple effect and volume control via the free dspMixFx app, even users with minimal audio engineering experience can immediately produce high-quality results.
The interfaces delivers professional quality sound, thanks to Yamaha’s D-Pre mic preamps and 192kHz, 32-bit audio resolution. Additionally, intuitive virtual operation is complemented by a simplified physical architecture, featuring dual headphone outputs for monitoring separate mixes, independent headphone and master volume controls, plus close integration with an optional Elgato Stream Deck controller. The expansion of audio and mixing functions enables users to switch between capturing, producing and sharing content, making URX-C interfaces suited to a wide variety of production and streaming uses.
‘Yamaha has long aimed to support music creators at every stage, from those just starting their journey to experienced industry professionals,’ says Takatsuna Maeda, Senior General Manager, Creator & Consumer Audio Division. ‘The UR-mk3 and URX-C series embody our commitment to delivering high sound quality and reliability, grounded in our expertise in audio signal processing, DSP technology and user-focused design.
‘With these products, we want to give users the confidence to capture, produce and share their music seamlessly, so their ideas can be transformed into a reality which truly reflects their individuality.’
