Behringer UMC202HD Overview

For budget-conscious musicians, podcasters, and producers looking to realize their creative visions in crisp 192 kHz digital resolution, the Behringer U-PHORIA UMC202HD desktop 2x2 USB 2.0 audio interface presents a welcome and user-friendly solution that's equally convenient for recording at home or in any location where inspiration strikes.

The tough, impact-resistant metal UMC202HD interface sports two pro-grade MIDAS-designed mic preamps, accessible via XLR-1/4" combo input jacks. Thanks to its switchable phantom power and per-channel line/instrument buttons, the U-PHORIA UMC202HD is ideal for simultaneous recording of two unique sources such as condenser or dynamic microphones, electric guitar/bass, and keyboards. Engage direct monitoring to hear your live input signal without latency when tracking or overdubbing.

Adjust the level for each input from the independent front-panel gain knobs while checking the front-panel LED indicators for signal presence and clipping. If you see the red clip lights, turn down the gain.

Monitoring your audio is simple, too. With its 1/4" headphone jack and two balanced 1/4" line outputs, the U-PHORIA UMC202HD has no problem handling headphones and professional active monitors. Separate knobs are allotted for easy control of the headphones and main output levels; turn up the speakers without affecting the headphones and vice versa.

All inputs and outputs are treated to high-resolution AD/DA conversion at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz. Thanks to its bus-powered design and Mac/Windows compatibility, the U-PHORIA UMC202HD is both convenient and easy to use. Utilize the generous software bundle comprised of DAWs, virtual instruments, and effects, or pair the interface with popular programs such as Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Cubase, and more (available separately).

MIDAS Microphone Preamps
The two pro-grade MIDAS mic preamps feature switchable phantom power to accommodate condenser mics or active DI boxes as well as standard dynamic microphones. The XLR-1/4" combo input jacks can also be used to record balanced line-level signals from a mixer or unbalanced instruments such as electric guitar and bass.
Line/Instrument Switching and Input Pads
Each input has its own line/instrument switch and a pad, which attenuates the input signal to avoid clipping when recording loud sources.
Headphone and Balanced Line Outputs
With a 1/4" headphone jack on the front and two balanced 1/4" line output jacks on the rear, the U-PHORIA UMC202HD can drive headphones and a pair of professional active monitors. All inputs and outputs are treated to high-resolution AD/DA conversion at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz.
Front-Panel Input and Output Controls
The UMC202HD's front panel has everything you need for smooth, efficient operation of the interface's primary functions. Adjust the level for each input from the independent gain knobs while checking the LED indicators for signal presence and clipping. Quickly adjust the headphone volume and main output level separately using the dedicated "Output" and "Phones" knobs.
Zero-Latency Monitoring
Engage the interface's direct monitoring function to hear your input signal without latency. This will prevent the talent from being distracted by an echo of their live performance.
Bus Powered
The UMC202HD compact desktop interface is bus powered via USB (USB cable included), so you don't need to carry around a power supply or batteries. Since it utilizes the USB 2.0 standard and is compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems, you can easily use it on a variety of computers.
Bundled Software
The U-PHORIA UMC202HD comes with free audio recording, editing, and podcasting software plus 150 instrument and effects plug-ins, allowing you to start production on your next project as soon as possible.
