Behringer U-Phoria UM2 Reviews

affordable price, great quality for the prize

one of the best very low price audio interface,

great first interface for its price

I'm high school student. So I needed something cheap, yet good sounding. I can say that this interface will fulfil every thing starting musician need. As me, I use it with microphone(at2020) and guitar(Squier affinity Strat) and it sounds really good with them.

Overall, it's great first interface for its price!

pros:

+price

+sound

+easy to use

+no drivers needed

cons:

-build quality

-lack of inputs

-hard cable

Nice for the price

This interface costs every cent of the price. There is minor issues with drivers and latency. Materials feel kind of cheep but overall it is not that crucial for audio interface.

Simple and cheap!

Not much to say, it's a very cheap audio interface for on the road or if audio is not your main bussiness. Decent pre-amps, especially for the price. Plug and play!

Good for newbies

I bought this as my entry to the recording world, to use with a recently purchased xlr mic. And to be honest, it has done its job very well! Now, of course you only get what you pay for, but i would still argue that its a pretty good value for your money. I dont have any experience with other audio interfaces, but as a starting interface, i would totally recommend it!

very good product

very good product, great audio interface

Good for beginners

This little thing is really god for a beginner and has everything you need to get ready with recording. I personally use it for talking to people via apps like skype. The audio and preamp it has is really amazing for the price and with the 2 inputs for either a mic and an instrument jack or 2 instruments. It is very good for the solo musician making songs.

Downsides are that sometimes it randomly stops working and needs to be unplugged and plugged back in but other than that its flawless.

Budget two channel audio interface

This unit allows you to connect a set of stereo studio monitors and record up to 2 audio tracks (stereo or two mono). Don't expect a super clean sound signal from this card but for the cost it's more than acceptable. Box feels cheap and delicate but the fact that it feels light makes it easy to carry around. In the end expect a cheap but fairly decent audio interface.

Good for guitar and bass recording

I bought this little thing to record my guitar and bass directly to my computer. And it works well.

Pros:

1. Super cheap

2. Sounds okay

3. 48 v phantom power for condenser mics

Cons:

1. This audio interface doesn't have any MIDI in/out so you can't record your electric drumkit with it

2. Its made of lightweight plastic and don't look solid

3. Even with a minimal gain knob level sound signal of my Ibanez with active EMG pickups is too high, from -2 to 0 dB and sometimes I definitely hear distortion.

Good value for money

I use it for acoustic measurements with Behringer ECM8000. Everything works perfectly. His price justified by 100%

does what promises well

perfect cost x benefit and it does exactly what it promises. I am very pleased with it.

Good for the Money

Unlike the amps and pa, the small Behringer stuff seems to be obviously built to a price in terms of controls,plastic casing and light weight. I would still recommend it for those on a budget as they do the job well enough.

For the price this is great , it has all the things the Scarlett solo has for half the price.

Decent interface to start

Great interface to use - identical to the UMC22 but in a different package and phono outputs. The large knobs are great for those who have joint problems or visual imparments.

Both the UMC2 and the UMC22 are great interfaces to start with, and highly portable, but be careful running high power condensers as it uses USB bus power and you might short out a USB socket (depending on the computer/laptop).

good for a S.O.S

if your on a low budget its a good peace

Great budget interface

I got this as a cheap interface to put me on for a while. Once you do a little digging and install the proper behringer drivers instead of asio4all it performs admirably for the price. I have no real complaints and I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to start recording at home.

love it

Excellent quality for money! Must buy for home recorders

Good budget interface

I'm using it to record DI'd demo tracks. The preamps seem ok for the price, for proper recording I'd spend a bit more though and get a more expensive interface if I wanted to record with microphones a lot.

I had no technical issues so far with the device and it seems well built.

Good simple audio interface

I have been using this USB microphone interface for quite some time and it has proven to be an excellent little piece of kit. I use this for streaming and VoIP communication in-game. It is essentially plug-and-play with Windows finding and installing drivers automatically, allowing this to work out of the box with all of my broadcast software. The gain and volume adjust allow for detailed control, as well as the direct monitor functioning adequately to allow for real-time monitoring of audio input for streaming, however the audio mix leaves something to be desired as the volume of this is quite low and requires tweaking in the OS to make use of. Overall, I have found that it has exceeded my expectations

Best budget USB interface?

To be totally honest I'm finding it difficult to fault the Behringer. The build quality is solid and compact, the unit itself is tiny which is always a plus in this field. Especially when you're managing lots of kit in limited spaces. The interface is literally plug and play which bypasses an confusion for a beginner too which is a bonus!

The quality and clarity of the audio captured through it could easily be likened to a much more expensive interface. But when you consider this is a ¤39/£30 piece of kit the quality and features it boasts are astounding really. I did a lot of reading on interfaces prior to buying this one and I have to say for the price point I couldn't find a alternative that matched it's featured never mind bettering them. With phantom power, direct monitoring and clipping lights all at this price it's a no brainer really.

If this was to break I'd buy a replacement without a second thought. Lovely piece of kit for the musician on a budget.
