Behringer LINE 2 USB 5-stars Reviews

LINE to USB cable review Great product

Purpose:

Transfer of archive casette recordings of great personal value onto PC using digital interface to retain highest quality.didnt have a soundcard with coax SPDIF inputs and wanted a affordable solution for oneoff transfer activity.

Use In practice

Plugged Qtr inch L and R jacks into output from Behringer UB802 port mixer and usb into PC. Audacity software found input without problems. Recorded quality seems good although only tried it briefly and source isn't exactly highest quality but no noticeable distortion on loud sustained passages.

Drivers:

For windows 7 64 bit pro

Plug and play with Windows drivers worked fine. no Third party drivers required.

Pros

Ease of setup. up and working within 5 mins of unpacking

Quaity of manufacture is high with 2 metres of quality cable and usb plug has bright blue led imbedded to confirm active.

Sound Quality seems very good with no obvious extrenious noise or interference.

Cons

Selecting the line2usb input in Audio software preferences resulted in initial mono channel "Mic" input only. Selected other option titled "Windows Direct Sound" as input source and Stero line input achieved.

Summary

Highly recommended particularly as it works with line level output from small domestic mixers rather than just output form instruments.
