Be careful!

It is a very good audio interface.I like to record with it, good quality sound and I love the direct monitoring without any latency. It is awsome that I can use XLR and 1/4 cable to connect instruments and microphones.

But be careful! With MAC you need no driver but with WINDOWS you do. You don't receive a CD with the driver so you have to download it from internet. The problem is that there is no driver for WINDOWS 7 64bits! Really Behringer?

If you contact them they will send you a link to download an uncertified beta driver that will be stopped by the OS because Windows 7 64 bits allow just certified driver to be installed.You can solve this problem by certifing it by yourself but this process its not for everyone.It took me a while to get it done.So Windows 7 64bits users be careful to this.This is the only con, but its a big one.

Concerning other things I like everything about it.I like the fact that I can use it instead of an amplifier for my guitars and then connect headphones or an audio sistem.

There is now official driver for Windows 7 to Windows 10 available at http://www.music-group.com/Categories/Behringer/Computer-Audio/Audio-Interfaces/UMC202HD/p/P0BJZ/downloads

Great First Audio Interface

Having received the UMC202 HD, I have since used it as my first Audio Interface device for some home recording, just for fun. I use it to record my electric guitar and bass guitar.

The first things you will notice is that it is built very well, it is sturdy and reliable as well as easy to use. PAD helps minimise clipping (gain jumping too high) and Line/Inst allow you to toggle between microphones and instruments. It supports stereo speakers and headphones with direct monitor support, but I don't actually like that since on a guitar it sounds empty as can be. Not the fault of the manufacturer though, just electric guitars in general. When recording setting it to minimal latency seems to work well for me even as I use programs like Amplitube and Cubase. It does take a while to send data to and from the motherboard to the device, although it pulls it off pretty well.

My inputs on my sound card screwed up, so now I have to connect my UMC202HD to my computer as my sound device and it works magnificently, giving me great audio and unnoticeable latency (if there is any)

Perfect for what I need

Very good for the price. It is perfect for what I need. Works and sounds excellent. I am using it for tracking guitars, vocals, bass and keybords and I never had a problem with it.

Home recording studio

I bought UMC202HD USB audio interface for my small home studio for recordings of my saz. And I'm gonna try to be short as possible in this feedback.

First of all its 24bit 192kHz interface so the sound quality is more then awesome for home recordings, it has 48V phantom power supply and sound from my cheap condenser microphone (BM 800) got so much better.

Second I love the matt finish !!! No fingerprint at all.

It has a pad switch for both inputs, and it's great, also direct monitoring witch is awesome.

And for the last the ting that i most love above everting else is the headphone 1/4 jack with dedicated volume knob, simply loving it.

For this price you not gonna be able to find a better audio interface, trust me.

Huge difference for a starter

Hi Guys,

This is my first external and dedicated card. Its a huge difference to any integrated solution. I think with its features and quality, it may appeal to far more advanced users compared to me.
