Behringer U-Phoria UMC22 Reviews

Bang for your Buck

Behringer keeps smashing it, I love this audio interface. Will upgrade to larger audio interfaces from the U-Phoria series. Sound is perfect, build quality is fine for the price. Would recommend to everyone.

Great quality in a budget price

You really have to be nitpicking if you say this isn't a good budget audio interface. The build is nice, it's metal and have a nice weight to it. The knobs are very good. the preamp are not too noisy if you control your gain but I'd still recommend using a mic booster (Klark Teknik CT-1) if you're using a dynamic mic. Using this setup with my Behringer XM8500 and it is perfect. Budget setup but with very good quality audio. Highly recommend picking this up to start.

Very good product for the price

Limited in regard to what you can do (as it has one xlr input and one DI input) but sounds great!

Great for the price

Nice, works flawlessly. No clicks and cuts. There is way more background noise compared to my MOTU soundcard.

I'm using it live and very little delay with a buffer of 256

The pre is quite ok.

Unbeatable for the price.

my first interface

I bout it to use with Garageband, it's good...

I've dropped it a few times and it's still 100%

it works for both recording and monitoring my amp sim into a PA system live...

It has a limited number of inputs, If I were to buy another one, I'd buy something with multiple inputs and outputs

Really good for the price we pay

I have it for 5 years and I don't have nothing to complain about.

Really cheap for its quality.

It does its job.

Nice entry level interface

If you are a beginner and don't care so much for the sound, this is the way to go. Plug and play, solid built, everything is good. The only problem I have is that the gain is not that powerfull. Other than that great option for direct monitoring an instrument to practice as well

Pretty good interface for the price

Came with minor scratches, but overall is a pretty good interface for the price

good budget option

recommend getting, runs my XM8500 well and I don't have any complaints about it after a while of owning it

Good quality, but not good for audio drivers

This Behringer is great, cheap, affordable. But if you are looking for something for online music production, the audio drivers will let you down. There are no audio drivers and you have to use asio4all, which can be problematic. For the cost, it suits anyone starting out - lovely good sound for the price, but you will have to upgrade eventually!

there is a weird voice

Works very well in my old Linux computer.

I have an old (8 years) laptop with AV-linux that had a lot of lag before I connected this interface.

Now I don't notice any lag at all when recording, wich makes me a much happier music producer.

Pretty Nice

I really like the quality of sound for the price... what maybe I miss is a general switch off but for the rest is good.

Just add a couple of bucks and get a solo 3rd gen

Had a lot of latency , bad drivers , a lot of cracking sounds when playing a lot of notes .

Everything good .... except for drivers

Generally, this interface is fine for a budget interface and I had initially bought this so that I could record mic input with a portable interface. The build quality is quite robust and much better than Behringers cheap UM2 equivalent. Now this interface is dependant on ASIO4ALL for ASIO use however I have found an old copy of Behringer's factory drivers that for some reason were removed from their website but if you look hard enough you can find them on hosted sites elsewhere. These drivers have found to be much more reliable for me however the USB must always be plugged into the same port on the computer.

I left this review in hopes that somebody else would have an advanced warning about the driver.

Everything else is sufficient!

Nice usb interface, good features and rigid conctruction - for starters more than enough, but take a look at the higher end behringers - better sound and usb 2.0!

does the job

Does a grand job for the price

Good Quality

This Audio Interface has served me very well over the past few months, and for such a cheap price, the quality is amazing. There is slight wobble on the dials, but a full metal encasing ensures that it is built to last.

does the job

my experience is very limited, so take this with a grain of salt, but i see no downsides to this product, and is perfect for its price

Best value entry level audio interface

I picked up the UMC22 as my first foray into the world of audio interfaces, pairing it with the equally good value XM8500 Dynamic microphone; hooking all this up to my PC. I bought this hoping for an alternative to flimsy headset mics and the overpriced table-top condenser mics you would likely have been recommended at some point.

I have to say that this little box does everything I could want it to, it allows me to hook up my microphone to my PC and make use of the clearer sound quality you get from a 'studio' microphone, I don't even require the phantom power for my chosen mic. Additionally the knobs allow for accurate control over output and the build quality is superb for the price (much better than the plastic UMC2).

All in all it's not going to blow you away with it's features but if you are looking for a compact, solid and cheap interface for a streamlined setup... Look no further!
