Offering a supremely small and budget-friendly solution for getting stereo line-level analog audio into your computer, headphones, speakers, and more, the Behringer UCA222 packs a surprising set of I/O and features into an ultracompact, bus-powered 2x2 USB audio 1.1 interface that fits in your pocket and needs no drivers and no special configuration.
Its unbalanced stereo analog input (on RCA jacks) allows it to accept line-level signal from sources such as a DJ mixer, keyboard, drum machine, or mixing console, so you can record anything from song ideas to live shows. The UCA222 has more outputs than you would expect on a such a miniscule box—a stereo RCA output for running a feed to a speaker system, a S/PDIF optical output to send digital signal to an external D/A converter, and a 3.5mm headphone output with a volume control for convenient personal monitoring of the input or output.
With internal 16-bit / 48 kHz AD/DA converters and a USB Type-A connector on an attached cable, the UCA222 plugs directly into your Mac/Windows computer for quality recording or streaming. It comes with a bundle of audio recording/editing software, effects plug-ins, and virtual instruments, so you can have fun and be productive without having to buy a slew of programs.
