Behringer UMC1820 Reviews

Unbeatable value

Had this in my studio for sometime, great workhorse.

Excellent sound quality, handy 2 xlr inputs on front with 6 to rear . Phantom power on all inputs. 2 headphone jack with individual volume control.mono to stereo button. There is no other 8 channel interface that I could find of this quality anywhere near this price point.reliable easy to use with many useful functions for the small studio engineer.

Good introduction interface for Drummers

Through the pandemic, I wanted to do some drum recording at home so took a punt in purchasing this interface.

For what it is, it does the job well for the amount of inputs you get.

Reliable and expandible

All in all you get what you pay for.

I haven't had any punctual problems or issues with the interface. All inputs wor correctly and I've expanded it with the 1080 so now I have 16 channels. Minimal latency.

The sound is pretty tame and unremarkable, nothing other worldly, but perfectly usable for home production.

Very hard to beat for the money.

Does what it says

Well made, easy to use and setup, sounds good enough with synths and probably any other direct input for an amateur. No opinion on a mic because I haven't used it with one and don't really plan on it.

Very good for multitracking

I use it for multitracking together with ADA8200 and it works great. Not the best preamps but for line level signals it works like a charm! Wouldn't expect it for the price.

Best bang for your buck.

All the features are genius, everything is very sturdy.

Perfect for my setup

I use it to records separate, live tracks into Logic. The 5 pin midi on this has been really useful. Quiet amp. Solid build. Knobs are not wobbly. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from an 8 in 8 out audio interface at the sort of price I can afford but this is a brilliant piece of kit.

Worth every cent

I bought this for the my first recording studio. I have to say it saved me alot of money and even after so many years the thing is super solid and I have not had a single issue.

Its good....

Had a couple of problems since we got it, but its good value and works well.

We needed the extra inputs on this. The driver works well. DAW recognizes the ASIO, MIDI connection, etc.

The pots got a little crackly pretty fast. Also, one headphone channel got a plug stuck in it. Got the plug out, but it doesn't work any more.

Still not sorry! Its a good purchase.

surprisingly good!

Had to replace my old trusty FA-101 that stopped working due to incompatible drivers, was looking for some budget solution with similar options (10 inputs, 10 outputs, MIDI) - money was tight and I needed a replacement fast so I opted for Behringer (with a little fear - I am not exactly a fan of Behringer and also wasn't sure how well it's going to perform latency-wise, my previous interface was Firewire and this one is USB). I have to say that the interface is stellar - easy installation, everything runs smooth, the sound is good and latency even better than my prior Firewire interface (I am able to go down to 64 samples buffer with Behringer on my old 3rd gen i7 laptop and it performs perfectly even in large projects). No issues have appeared after a half year of use either so I can only recommend it. Good job, Behringer!

amazing service

The product was available,the assistance was always ahead of the needs ,i´m just waiting for the package

A great multi input Interface!

Got it for 1/2 the price I could source locally in Australia!

Plugged it in after installing the proprietary drivers.

NO issues, my DAW picked it up straight away and all the multiple inputs were there for me to select per track!

Nice, QUIET mic preamps! I cranked up the volume and no hiss!

Seems to be AS good, (if not better ) than a lot of the more expensive competitors!

NEVER had any problem with any Behringer audio equipment!

Quality Midas Mic Preamps make this my "go to" for recording vocals

Having a mixing stage and Midas pre amps makes the Behringer UMC1820 a must have for my studio recording. My artist Mairk has used this paired with an AKG P220 for most of their recordings. Additional inputs and as I also use ADAT, the lightpipe additional inputs are a neat bonus.

Does exactly what it's supposed to

Wanted something with enough inputs to have my drum kit permanently plugged into my PC while also having access to a couple of ports for plugging in guitars and singing mics when needed. The buttons, switches and dials have a "heavy" quality feel to them. I am very happy to own this piece of gear.

Perfect for drum players and studios

This product was a surprisingly good purchase, as i did not expect its preamp quality. As this model has been upgraded with better preamps, its sound has become much better and it is perfect for drum players that wish to do their recordings or studios that need more inputs. I have no complaints about this product.

The interface of my life

I have been using many interfaces until now, this one is my favorite so far. It has enough inputs and outputs for my needs and the quality is great. the only thing that is missing are the line inserts to connect other gear effect directly, but still this audio interface is great for its price and would recommend it to anyone

Great interface

It's amazing that you can get such quality from something so cheap. Don't be put off by the price it's a great unit and SO easy to use. Paired with the 8 channel expansion this is all you really need to record a band.

bang for one's buck

You can’t get better than the UMC1820 around this price range

Best 8 mic/line pream audio interface for the money

Great midas preamps with clean and noiseless sound. Usefull phantom power switches for simultaneous use of phantom power required and non required devices. Easy to install. Very good audio interface if you need to track up to 8 sound sources. Has only one downside, the right part of the device heats up pretty good. Keep in mind if you mount it in the rack with other hot devices.

Super Interface,

Super Interface, compact , midi in and out , Phantom power, two Headphone monitoring ,and alot more features. all you will need to record everything at home or at a Live gig . very happy with it .
