Behringer UMC404HD

Excellent for Home Studio

Having used many different USB-Audi interfaces in the past I decided to buy the UMC404HD for my home studio. I have to admit that I was very positively surprised. The sound is excellent (connected to a pair of Behringer 50USB Active Studio Monitors). The card is very easy to use and the phantom power helps when recording with condensed microphones. Overall, truly pleased with the purchase.

Simple and reliable

Excellent product. Easy to set up and use. Sits nicely on my studio desk.

Great value

Best bang for buck for a 4 channel, 192khz audio device. Surprisingly low noise and high quality preamps/ADC for the price.

My only criticisms is you can't have both audio out pairs monitored through the headphones and seems to have occasional issues with sleep mode on the computer.

Small studio workhorse

I upgraded to this from a focusrite solo for two reasons. I wanted more inputs, and I wanted it powered by mains instead of using the same USB cable to power it that was transmitting the data.

Unlike Behringer pedals, the construction is metal, and feels quite solid. The knobs and buttons are sturdy and feel great to work with.

I would have preferred the phantom 48V button were on the front instead of the back, but this is just a very minor detail. Everything else is perfect for my needs.

Great tool for home recording

Excelent

I've been using this almost daily for a year and is excellent. All the controls make sense, plenty of outputs to use and the preamps are very nice. Can't fault it at all.

I tried this interface for my home studio and honestly I was surprised by the quality for its price, I recommend it for all those who are starting and do not have much budget

My new go-to USB Audio interface

I have bought two of these USB interface, they work great with my Linux desktop systems. I am also using it with my Laptop using Mixxx software for DJ'ing, here i can use the same audio interface for both main out, and monitor out.

When people ask me what USB audio device to get, i always suggest this model, since it has balanced outputs, and it has four XLR/TRS combo inputs that are great for microphones, and likely also for instruments.

My only issue with this devices is there is no input/turn-on/off pop detection, so when connecting audio inputs, either USB from PC or XLR/TRS inputs or when changing USB sampling rate, it will make a pop noise when the change is happening.

But for the price a great product.

A great interface for the money

If you need those four inputs on a budget, this interface is for you.

The build is solid, this was bought for independent, pre-recorded radio. I was throwing it into a backpack with my laptop and a few leads and had no concerns, it's still in perfect nick.

The preamps are a little noisy, so not Focusrite grade but still high quality. When I say a little noisy I mean a little, once your signal kicks in the slightly above average noise floor makes no difference.

I was recording tracks directly into two preamps in stereo and the result was indistinguishable from the original recording to my ears. The mic also sounded great after post processing.

Overall, I highly reccommend this budget interface, well built (even more so than my scarlett 2i2!) so it won't let you down.

Truely wonderful

This product is the best money can buy. It is very ease to use, you simply just plug it in your computer, open the software and you're ready to record.
