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

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.

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.

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.

This is superior to the PreSonus AudioBox iTwo in most ways: * more compact * knurled knobs * better loopback test results Here are the loopback-to-XLR test results per RightMark Audio Analyzer: 20 Hz to 20 kHz: +/- 0.17 dB Noise: -93.7 dBA THD: 0.00404% THD + Noise: -83.2 dBA IMD + Noise: 0.00708% IMD at 10 kHz: 0.00745% These are excellent results. However there are two exceptions: * Engaging the "pad" switch only attenuates the input and does not lower preamp gain. So all else equal the noise result drops to a less respectable -84.6 dBA when using "pad" * Something is wrong with the analog line input stage design. When you use the 1/4" input jacks the THD + Noise gets inexcusably worse than XLR: -59.3 dBA. I've repeated this test many different ways and the result is the same from my own tests and others'. The PreSonus AudioBox iTwo does not exhibit this problem. If you're recording line input and THD + Noise is critical, you may want to avoid the Behringer.

Great device. Very versatile. Sweetwater is the best seller.

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!

Satisfecho

Venía de utilizar una Beringer UCA222 que da mucha calidad. Quise dar un salto de calidad y prestaciones y compré la UMC202HD. Un producto profesional con el que se pueden hacer muchas mas cosas. Solo he tenido un fallo y por este motivo la he devuelto. La he conectado a través de los Jack mono traseros a unos altavoces autoamplificados Jbl duet (uso para PC). El problema es que este tipo de altavoces no soportan el nivel de salida de la UMC202HD por muy baja que sea y vayas con cuidado. Hace falta usar altavoces autoamplificados pero tipo profesional. Altavoces tipo monitor que aguanten la tensión de salida de la UMC202HD. Por desgracia, los JBL Duet no han durado ni un minuto. Conectarlos y han dejado de funcionar. Los he "tostado" literalmente. He estado mirando unos altavoces decentes apropiados y me cuestan mas que el propio UMC202HD. En cualquier caso, la culpa ha sido mia. Y solo advierto que mucho cuidado con que tipo de altavoces se usan. Por lo demás, poco la he probado pero rebosa calidad por todos los lados. Con auriculares no hay color. Potencia y calidad de sobras. Muy buenos acabados. Botones suaves y todo en su sitio. Muy compacto.

Kein rauschen oder sonstiges

EXCELENTE!!!

Highly recommended

J'utilise cette interface Behringer depuis maintenant plusieurs mois. C'est un réel plaisir de l'avoir sur bureau. D'abord sur le look, noir et discrète, elle vient donner un aspect très professionnel au bureau. Maintenant concernant le son, rien à dire, le son est d'une clarté incroyable. Couplé à un DT770Pro sur la sortie jack avant (attention sortie en jack 1/4 pensez à un adaptateur vers du 3.5 si nécessaire), c'est un réel plaisir d'avoir un bouton de réglage du volume à porter de bras. Côté micro, avec un RodePod mic, le retour est faible (problème inhérent au micro et non à l'interface), trop faible. D'ailleurs il est important de noté que le retour micro est en mono gauche, ce qui est très désagréable. (Seul vrai point noir de cette interface selon moi). Je n'ai pas eu l'occasion d'essayer l'alimentation fantôme, le podmic étant passif. J'utilise également deux enceintes de monitoring branchées aux sorties jack gauche et droite à l'arrière de l'interface. Là encore attention, il s'agit de jack 1/4. Le son est excellent à nouveau, sans interférences aucunes. Je recommande pour qui cherche une interface pour connecter un micro XLR, ou simplement une interface audio physique efficace.
