When i bought this i was hesitant because of the price. I was in need of a new interface and my budget at the moment was very low but this little buddy came through on the clutch and so far. No problems

How is volume to the headphone out controlled? ...

How is volume to the headphone out controlled? (is it a static, but quasi-controlled via gain or adjusted by output knob?
Asked by: Byron
The headphone volume control on the Behringer U-PHORIA UM2 is controlled by the knob labeled 'Output'. It is the knob that is farthest to the right, on top of the interface.
