Behringer UMC404HD 5-stars Reviews

It is unbelievable that you can get great sound for this amount of money,totally worth it

Does the job with no hassles, what more can one ask?

Great interface, easy to use, worked with Reaper on the first go. Bit smallish buttons but you would most likely be tweaking fine levels on your mixer anyhow. Incredible for this price, def recommended.

Amazing for the price, questionable quality

The Good: For the price it's incredible. The pres have plenty of gain and aren't noisy. Loads of options for direct monitoring, interfacing with other equipment, and routing to multiple outputs.

The Not So Good: The first unit I got had a distorted headphone output, the second unit worked for a while but now the headphone output has become noisy. The volume potentiometer is sealed, so there's no easy way to clean it. I guess a lack of serviceability is the downside of cheap gear.

Straight forward and user friendly.

No complexities.

No major learning curves.

Just plug in and record.

Very good.

This is a very good, full of features, solid product. Easy to install and use. Very intuitive. Perfect for small home studio.

U-phoria UMC404HD - excellent interface

First of all, of course, you need to download and install the driver from the behringer's website. It should then be configured: frequencies, buffer size, etc.

It should be noted that the device has a MIDI interface, which is very good. It also has different levels of inputs and the overall signal movement is actually very logical and reasonable, especially when used for singing with headphones, for example.

The fact that it requires a separate power supply is actually good, not bad. Because of this, it can be successfully used as a small mixer at home without starting the computer.

So far, I have nothing bad to say about quality. For that money, it's a very functional and useful thing. Comfortable XLR main out as well. I recommend this device to anyone who wants to record in high quality without much effort.

Great interface for the price, using with both Mac and Windows and both is very stable. Both the inputs and outputs are good enough to start off making music.

Excellent sound card

I've been using focusrite interface for more than 10 years as a home studio user (I'm not a pro engineer). For work reasons (not related to audio), I had to move, and I took an Scarlett 2x4 for fun, However, at some point I needed more inputs and outputs, but I didn't want to expend too much.

This behringer has been great!!.

I'm not able to notice the difference with my current microphones on vocals, and for sure, I don't notice anything with guitar, keyboards, or effects signals. For the price, the number of outputs and inputs you get is amazing.

This is more than a budget interface for the home studio, it provides great quality and options for anyone starting, or with a few years of experience.

Totally recommended.

It’s great for the price

Great for the price works well with laptop pc..

Very good interface

Bought this to replace my Presonus Audiobox USB and it exceeded all my expectations. 4 inputs and routing options are even more than I need for my home studio needs. I love that it has channel inserts so I can finally connect and use my outboard gear with it. Preamps are nice and silent, no loose knobs or anything like that.

Had it for more than a year, never had a single problem with it. Very good product. Even if it breaks down eventually I would buy it again, no doubt.

Excellent interface for the price.

I got this device about 2 years ago to replace an integrated sound card on my PC, so I'm reviewing the product from this angle.

+I immeaditely noticed a much crisper and punchier audio from the headphone output, so highly recommended if you are looking for an USB audio card. Headphone output is quiet until roughly 75% of the volume dial, but after that there's some white noise, works well with lower impedance headphones (M50x and Shure SRH1540), it gets plenty loud.

Later on I added a headphone amp (Schiit Magni 3 Heresy) and it works really well as a DAC as well!

Also using to record a Audio-Technica AT2020 and a guitar, no issues such as hiss or latency with either one. Supports ASIO drivers without any issues.

+ Everything, really. It's a great product despite Behringer's old track record.

- Missing power button, but it has been "on" for the most part for a couple of years now without issues

- Sometimes drivers. Usually needs a couple of pc reboots to work after installing the driver after which there are no issues.

Great product for the price. If you don't need multiple recording devices, I'd recommend the 202HD.

lovely product

great product - only issue was trying to send multiple outputs and working out how the balance them correctly; but once you understand how all the features work its great.

Behringer does it again A1 5 Star

I have a Behringer Xr18, and the UMC 202 and really like the products.

I purchased the Behringer UMC404 to go on my streaming (video/obs) PC to not have to switch a lot of cables. combines with some ASIOPRO routing I now have all 3 PC's sending audio to each other across the network with almost no latency. Brilliant products and a great price point. personally these are far superior to the Focusrite products because of what you get for your €

I recommend

After 5 years, everything is working perfectly!

Excellent

It does exactly what it should. Nothing more, nothing less. No noise, no latency issues. Just quick setup and nice recording. To this price, this is one of a kind.

Excellent 24bit/192kHz

Inserts on all 4 channels is perfect

Perfect as an interface for a giging keyboardist!

This sturdy construction has enough channels to run stereo sound and a click to our X32 mixer. It is easy to power, I only plug it into my laptop and we're ready to go. It's compact enough to just throw it in your keyboard bag and you're off. Perfect for home recording, as well.

Pro's:

- Small enough to transport inside your keyboard bag

- Midas preamps

- 4 inputs

- sturdy metal construction

Cons:

- not enough cowbell

Excellent product with only a few flaws

I've been using this audio interface for a couple of months everyday.

It works perfectly. The preamps are nice and silent. It works smoothly with Ableton Live in my Macbook.

The only flaws to be said are: the routing of the interface doesn't allow to have direct monitoring for each single track (4) but only in a 2 channel mixdown. This mixdown can be 1&3 on L and 2&4 on R (stereo) or all the tracks mixed into both output channels (mono). It seems a bit silly to me since there are 4 outputs. Those, instead, are only used as an output from the USB.

I have a 4 tracks tape recorder and I wanted to take advantage of these nice preamps with phantom power, but that isn't possible. Not with 4 separate tracks.

Another little flaw is that the (main out) output is very very soft.

Still, for the price is an excellent device!

A great low cost interface

Bought it for small acoustic recodings, now I use it also for playback of my electonic drums and general listening to music. Does exactly what it says on the box without fuss, basically plug and play. Drivers need to be installed if you want low latency recording, otherwise even that is not needed. Seems solid, sound is clear and has plenty of IO options for small acoustic recordings.

does the job

Nothing fancy, it's a simple straight to the point audio interface.
