Behringer UMC202HD Audiophile 2x2, 24-Bit/192 kHz USB Audio Interface with Midas Mic Preamplifiers | For Recording Microphones and Instruments

It works really good for a budget friendly unit. I had to return a defective Mackie onyx 2x2 and am happy the behringer works as advertised. Sounds good, but must avoid cranking the gain input. I bought an inline mic preamp for quiet instruments.

This is an old interface model but works very well. I had it hooked to my laptop & my keyboard and with the music software, it works very well.

Bought to replace the one that my movers lost, I have had that one for years. I was so happy with the old one, I didn't even think about getting something else. These are great little interfaces. ASIO drivers for it can get input latency way down to just a few milliseconds, plenty good enough for almost anything.

I have been using it, daily, for 2 years. Very durable, easy setup. I record remotely at various locations and have dropped it on the ground during setups, or it accidentally got pulled off the table by cables, but it still works great. Which you wouldn't expect given it's lightweight plastic housing. Behringer products are usually hit or miss for me - some aren't very good, but this is an excellent product for the price. Got it to replace my Presonus, which last all of a month. I'm semi-pro, audio production is my weekend-hustle, so it's more than adequate for someone in my position.

I was using a scarlet studio 2i2 with my desk top, and fell in love with using it as a hub for computer audio, i just was getting tired of disconnecting it to take it to record with the band. I decided to give the UMC a shot as a dedicated hub for my desk top, so i wasn't planning on doing recording with it, but tried it out just to see what it could do. As far as the sound quality and overall user experience, it feels identical to my scarlett2i2.

Works great. I use it for a variety of purposes from splicing my laptop in the audio panel for troubleshooting to record audio on my laptop.

The Behringer UMC202HD is perfect for my application. I'm using it to connect an instrument, vocal mic and headphones to PC via USB. The instrument is a sax with wireless mic, the wireless receiver is connected to UMC202HD through standard XLR cable, as is the vocal mic. The audio quality is amazing through the XLR inputs, incredibly transparent. The application I'm using requires an ASIO driver which is supported by the supplied Behringer driver, and the latency numbers are a little better than other manufacturer ASIO drivers I've used. The vocal mic requires phantom power which the UMC202HD supplies. The headphone output does a good job driving my headphones, I get enough volume to listen through headphones while I'm playing. I couldn't be happier with this audio interface, particularly considering the price point. Not only does it just work, it works very well!

Good quality, as described

Muita qualidade! Fácil de usar.

Buen artículo, dos canales, algunos controles y sencillez. No es alta gama pero por el precio está muy bien. Si lo pasas del 75% satura, aunque no es necesario llevarlo ahí. Es un buen artículo. Una interfaz de 200€ seguramente será mejor pero para el que se lo quiera gastar.

Nach langer Suche habe ich mir das Gerät UMC202HD gekauft, um Schallplatten in hoher Qualität zu digitalisieren. Ich verwende es mit den aktuellen Treibern für Windows 11 zusammen mit der aktuellen Version des Programms Audacity. Mein Plattenspieler ist ein Audio-Technica LP5 mit einem AT-VM95E-Tonabnehmer. Die gewünschten Digitalisierungsparameter lassen sich bequem über das UMC Control Panel steuern, das Teil des Treiberpakets ist und vollständig mit der Soundsteuerung in Windows 11 kompatibel ist. Ich kann sagen, dass das UMC202HD ein wirklich hochwertiges Gerät ist, das eine Digitalisierung in hoher Studioqualität mit 24 Bit bei 96 und sogar 192 kHz ermöglicht. Die Ergebnisse sind hervorragend, denn mit 24 Bit/192 kHz oder 24 Bit/96 kHz ist der Klang einer FLAC-Datei wirklich kaum von dem einer Schallplatte zu unterscheiden! Bei einer reichhaltigen und voluminösen Klangbühne der Schallplattenaufnahme ist der Unterschied zwischen 96 und 192 tatsächlich in der Tiefe der Klangbühne und der Hervorhebung der Interpreten und Instrumente spürbar, wenn auch nicht für jedes Ohr! Natürlich habe ich auch Schallplatten, die mit einer Digitalisierung von 24 Bit/48 kHz völlig ausreichend sind. Die Rauschpegel sind sehr niedrig und für Aufnahmen von analogen Trägern akustisch völlig akzeptabel. Bei korrekten Einstellungen des Eingangspegels sind keine Klangverzerrungen wahrnehmbar. Insgesamt ist dies ein sehr gelungenes Gerät, das zwar schon vor langer Zeit entwickelt wurde, aber einen sehr ausgereiften Stand erreicht hat.

EDITED. I'm sorry to have to edit my previous assessment of this Audio Interface. On most counts, I'm still impressed, but only when it came to mixing down my music did a BIG problem emerge. The sound of the mixed down track was terrible. I couldn't understamd why, and spent an unholy amount of time on the internet looking for a solution. All to no avail. In the end I contacted the product helpline and that left me more frustrated than ever. I was asked to do all sorts of checks which were really very impractical and which in some cases was impossible with my setup. I decided to risk buying a different interface to see and chose a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface. This works perfectly - on mixdown and on everything else so in my case at least the Behringer was, for whatever reason, the cause of the problem. I'm very disappointed because in all other respects it's a great interface at a tempting price but useless if it presents problems that other models don't. It may just be a problem in my particular case, so it may be worth a shot for anyone else. If you review it, just make sure it does EVERYTHING that you require of it before you do. My original review follows.... I was a bit nervous about buying this interface as it is way cheaper than 'market leaders'. Nevertheless I went for it and I'm glad I did. The sound quality is excellent - no glitches or artefacts. It was just a matter of plug and play. Couldn't have asked for, or expected better.
