Description

Essential Information About the Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD USB Audio Interface

  • 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion and transparent MIDAS mic preamps for clear and detailed recordings.
  • 2 inputs / 4 outputs analog, MIDI I/O, USB powered for a mobile and efficient setup.
  • Direct monitoring mono/stereo with "Input/Playback" balance and pads per channel to control dynamics.
  • Robust metal chassis, dedicated headphone output, and separate levels for precise control in both recording and live settings.

At the Heart of the U-Phoria Range

Positioned between compact models and multichannel interfaces, the U-Phoria UMC204HD stands out as the 2 input / 4 output reference in the series. It combines MIDAS preamp quality with flexible connectivity, designed to evolve from a simple home studio to more ambitious configurations.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

The UMC204HD is aimed at singer-songwriters, podcasters, streamers, and mobile musicians who want to capture vocals, guitar, keyboards, or drum machines without compromise. Its dual line outputs and front-panel A/B selector facilitate managing alternative speakers, headphone cueing, or sending tracks to external effects.

Audio Quality and Frictionless Workflow

The two MIDAS preamps deliver clean and musical gain, with +48 V phantom power for your condenser microphones. A high-impedance input accepts guitars and basses directly, while signal and peak indicators secure your levels. Pads per channel prevent clipping on powerful sources.

Switchable mono/stereo direct monitoring and the "Input/Playback" balance provide latency-free listening while keeping an eye on your mix. Main outputs on jack, RCA A/B outputs, and a headphone output with independent volume offer immediate control of your monitoring, both in the studio and on stage. The MIDI I/O opens the door to controlling synths, drum machines, and hardware controllers.

Excellent value for money for this audio/midi interface that perfectly fulfills its role. Very practical on Mac as it is recognized without drivers to install.

One of the few 192 kHz sound cards at this price! A bit hard to set up (on Windows) but otherwise no problem (I've been using it for 1 year). I recommend it.

Very good value for money. Well recognized under W10 after installing the driver available on the Berhinger website. No problem with Studio One.
