Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD Reviews

Great for the price

The background hiss is very low, it seems to be of great quality due to the metal casing and works great for home recording.

Whilst it worked without a problem in GNU/LInux it was a bit awkward installing it on Windows.

Perfect for beginner amateur recording

If you're just starting with an instrument, or you're starting to do some first recordings this thing is great.

Has decent sound quality - not the best - but definitely not bad for the price range - great for the price even.

Decent sound quality while recording - voice recording via mic is fantastic - keep in mind this unit is 80Euro. Two available mic inputs and a real-time stereo monitor out make it easy and awesome to work with - no crackling - easy to adjust gain. I'm sure there are better ADCs out there, but not sure you'll find it for this price.

The box seems all aluminium - controls are definitely clearly labeled and intuitive - they're not fancy looking, nor the highest quality knobs, however, they do the job well, and after several months, there's still no issues with any of the controls. Am fairly sure this will last a while, just be gentle.

Overall, great for the price.

Best low price interface!

Absolutely one of the best low priced USB interfaces. Everything works like a charm, the sound isn't nothing special, but there is no problem with it, no noise, no distortion. The best inexpensive tool for the home studio and also a very good tool in the live world (RTA/recordingetc..)!

Good, but driver support could be better

Nice choice of input and outputs. Pre amp works great. I can get a great range when recording my electric guitar. The issue I have with it is driver support. It works on ASIO or proprietary driver (that is just like ASIO). So if I have it connected to a DAW, I can't connect it to Chrome at the same time, for instance. Something I always experience with ASIO. I might be doing the wrong thing somewhere, but then it shouldn't be complicated. I plugged it in, installed proprietary drivers, and started using it. I was hoping for easier and better support in 2021 for this unit.

For it's price very good.

Like the sound, especially on headphones, in this price category I think is the best choice.

Great USB interface

As I don' use this for anything very demanding it is perfect for my needs.

best value for money audio interface...

It's amazing that you get an audio interface with 2 inputs , 4 outputs and midi connections for under 100 euro, there is no point to buy the expensive ones from other brands (i'm not gonna say names). Works well , and not problems what so ever. Great product..

Best in class

That 24 Bit 192 kHz tool has everything U can need from audio interface: 2 combo inputs with hi-Z switch, MIDI In/Out, mono switch and even 2 inserts - what to want more? It is not an audiphil level with 100 dB dynamics, but ... for the price is perfect!

Great interface

Great interface and packed with features for that price. Really good product!

Very Good

I would say the only annoying thing is the headphone preamp.

The rest is working excellent.

I use it in my home recording studio.

Брал на репточку. по сравнению с домашней скарлетт 2на2 есть несколько моментов:

-Преампы чувствительнее. если скарлетт клипует на 10ч гейна, на той же гитаре бехр в клип уходит с 9. Но! есть понижение входа, хотя показалось, что частотку и динамику поджирает.

-ИМХО дико неудобная система мониторинга. на скарлетт тумблер вкл/выкл, тут надо постоянно рулями ловить баланс. и возможно из-за этого 3й косяк

-Перегруз на выходе наушников. после 13ч начинает срать в уши. Тестил и в байерах 770 на 250 Ом и в сенхах ХД180. все одно. После 13ч звук перегружается. на скарлет такого нет.

Из плюсов-пара выходов на мониторы, МИДИ, инсерты и конечно же цена. Собрано качественно, крепко, правда крутилки длинноваты. Дрова свои и немного мудреные, чтобы снизить с 48 до 44,1 пришлось через стандартную вин панель "звуки" поменять, а так неактивно было.

В целом 4/5. для того чтобы на репе демки накидать-за глаза, да и в принципе и посводить дома можно.

Perfect for beginners: Best in price range

The features and preamp quality are amazing for the price range. Never had any driver issues, just plug and play. No latency issues. Basically none of the issues you would expect with a cheap interface. Perfect for beginners or experienced producers looking for a spare portable interface

A great little interface for simple audio needs.

Easy setup, no drivers required on a PC.

Very good interface for the price

Its the best audio interface for the money , stable , resistant and solid

Good interface for this price.

Interface work imidatly (after installing driwers on windows 7). It is compact. Sound is really good. I give 4 stars becaise I have problems with backgroun noice. I am really satisfied.

Exactly what I wanted!

Was looking for a cheap audio interface for my new monitors and came across this. Was a bit skeptical at first about the price but when it arrived I was surprised by how sturdy it was and the quality of the sound is phenominal! Definitely would reccomend

Great for a home studio

The casing is great, Pre-amps are awesome, Jack quality is not amazing. This works with every DAW I have tried out of the box, The One with the 4 inputs that my friend got doesn't, so I would say, just get this one if you do not need the extra inputs. Other than that - great studio toy for recording from time to time

Entry level interface

For someone who is just trying to get into this kind of stuff, it's great interface, sounds good and is very reasonably priced, great thing about this interface is combo inputs, allowing you to not only record mic level signal but also instrumental and line. My only thing is about placement of the phantom power switch which is in the back, so not very convenient, especially that it is on the bottom part not top.

Other than that, there is also in my opinion great thing that you have built in 4 outputs (or 2 stereo outputs) that you can patch your sound to, so you can have two diffrent type of speakers. Also a ability to switch the two inputs between mono and stereo is a another good thing. And last, something you won't see much on interfaces these days, classic din-5 MIDI in/out.

What I can also add from my experience is that you should not place your phone near it, it will easily pick up any interference.

Fast.

Very low latency. In Propellerheads Reason, with Behringer asio umc drivers set to 128samples i have 6ms input and 4ms output on i7 5820K (y.2014). Smooth with 16 effects on the way (i use it like virtual rig :))

I also checked it with modern x86 tablet and the Reason. It works great.

Unnoticable noise with electric guitar and mic, unless you record silence.

Great Value Audio Mixer!

Great audio mixer with many different features and options. Would highly recommend as it is great value.
