BEHRINGER USB AUDIO INTERFACE BPSCA UM2 - DP33377

Yes this is my only experience of a usb audio interface but to my semi trained ears, it sounds great and does everything I want it to. Zero excess noise, super easy to set up and use and gives a lovely clean and consistent signal.

Its a great little guy. Great for the price however it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Its made of plastic which is a slight bummer but not of any problem to me as it just sits on my desk. The knobs feel good and are precise. And it is easy as pie to set up literally plug and play in my experience. I play guitar abit and never had a easy way to connect it to my pc however the UM2 has a 1/4" port which means you can plug a electric guitar or keyboard or anything that uses a 1/4" jack which is awesome and makes it a good cheap all rounder. However it has a high noise floor which means no cranking the gain too 100 also because of this powering a high power mic the the SM7B or Podmic is impossible almost (although I have managed it with my Podmic but I had to up the gain in software as it was too quiet otherwise or too noisy if I upped the gain on the interface. So in short if you want a cheap interface for a easy to run xlr mic then this is great for you however if you want it for a gain hungry mic like the SM7B or Podmic then either get a better one or get a gain booster like a cheaper cloud lifter.

Being new to playing an electric instrument I found setting up all of the required equipment very difficult. Once it was working I needed this to play on line through my laptop. I found the instructions difficult to get it working and did not notice that it needs you to get a driver from the manufacturers web site. After doing this it did not work reliably with Windows 11 . I found several YouTube videos about it and one recommended getting an alternative driver from the manufacturers website that is better suited to this model. Now it is working perfectly every time . I am very pleased with it. The sound quality is as good as the on line lessons I am following with it. It now seems simple as I just switch everything on and it works when I log on. Great value for money once its set up.

I'm using this audio interface to record my guitar playing and vocals..it works well in line 1 with the Beringer micromix connecting the guitar and pedal chain in to micromix channel 1 the microphone into micromix channel 2 my bass guitar into micromix channel 3 and the Yamaha keyboard in micromix channel 4 .. the guitar and pedal chain incudes a looper pedal .. I bought it to be able to play then listen back to analyse my personal progress as a musician I play through the um2 into a Windows 10 laptop with the free audacity software as a basic digital audio workstation .. I connect with the guitar cable straight into the mic line 1 input as I don't have an XLR cable for the microphone.. for some reason plugging the microphone directly into line 1 and the strat direct to the instrument socket it doesn't record the guitar.. maybe it's because I'm connected to line 1 with the 6.3 mm guitar style Jack rather than the XLR although for the price I have a way to do exactly what I wanted to and much more than I had hoped for.. it's very basic, saying that I did find that once I worked out how to use it and set it up properly it does help me record my music and God awful singing without changing the sound so I'm happy with it edit... after several weeks using the UM2 I'm figuring out the intricacies of the device a little more and have found it even more useful than I had anticipated.. using a wireless guitar system the small amount of interference I was getting is now no longer an issue so I have changed my four star 🌟 rating to five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I'm so glad I bought this and my guitar playing is improving rapidly unfortunately my singing is just as awful as ever but that has more to do with my voice than this device 🎸🎤😁

I bought one when my ART USB Dual Pre Mic Preamp (£100) started giving problems registering itself when plugged in on windows 10. I have used Behringer equipment before and find it very good and at reasonable prices. This UM-2 is no exception. It comes out of the box with a USB cable which it takes its power from. Plug it in, no problems being recognised in win 10. I use it for ZOOM/Skype/Teams meetings with external mic and another input from a mixer desk for additional mic inputs from my drum kit during lessons. It has phantom power so you can use condenser mics. There is no detectable sound delay (latency) noticed and is excellent in use. It has proved to be so simple and reliable for all my uses, I bought another one and have retired my ART Duo. I would highly recommend this UM-2. Good quality and great value for money.

I've had a bad journey with this product overall. Initially, there was an ungodly amount of hiss present in the microphone audio. After some research, I found out that apparently you need to get old drivers to remove it, so I did that. However, this causes the microphone audio to only be recorded for one ear, which is annoying. Thankfully, many programs such as OBS allow you to select 'Mono' for the microphone which fixes the issue. Also, I frequently get many weird issues. This includes the audio I listen to going out of tune somehow, along with sporadic static noise going to my headphones forcing me to replug the interface, which can force me to restart some games. But despite all of that, it is a very good deal, especially considering how much more expensive even the cheapest Scarlett interface is. It is possible I just received an especially bad unit, or maybe my neighbours are just running 10 microwaves at once or something idk. If you go through the pain of setting it up correctly, it gets the job done. However, I would highly recommend getting something like a Scarlett if you pursue audio work more seriously.

Ich habe mir dieses Audio Interface gekauft um ein XLR Mikro an einen PC anschließen zu können. Was soll ich sagen, ich bin begeistert. Für diese Anwendung ist das U-Phoria von Behringer einfach perfekt geeignet. Die Speisung erfolgt direkt über den USB Anschluss und funktioniert einwandfrei, die Tonqualität ist super und ich bin begeistert das alles Plug'n'play funktioniert hat. Das Behringer U-Phoria wird als "USB Audio CODEC" unter Windows 11 ohne weiteren Treiber erkannt und ist sofort benutzbar. Die Standard Windows 11 Treiber ermöglichen auch die Ausgabe von Ton über das Interface, so das alle Ausgänge des Interface genutzt werden können. So kann man eine komplexe Anlage erstellen, selbst mit nur einem XLR und einem Klinken Anschluss. Klar die Verarbeitung wirkt nun etwas billig und man findet Produktionsreste und Nähte auf den Drehschaltern, aber das ist wohl in diesem Segment kein Problem. Immerhin ist es das günstigste Audio Interface das ich gefunden habe, da beschwere ich mich nicht das ich keine Knöpfe aus gebürstetem Aluminium bekomme. Ich will das Teil nichtmehr missen müssen, ich würde es Jederzeit wieder kaufen.

Llevaba bastante tiempo dándole vueltas al tema de hacer grabaciones de vídeos musicales con buena calidad de sonido, y no me decidía por ningún dispositivo. No sabía si comprar una mesa pequeña o una tarjeta de sonido, hasta que finalmente encontré un vídeo en YouTube donde hablaban de la Behringer UM2. Se podía conectar un micro y la guitarra así que, viendo lo que vale, me la compré por probar. Después de un par de semanas, tengo que decir que es una pasada. Graba con una calidad bastante buena, ya no tenéis excusa para no producir vuestra propia música con una calidad excelente. A continuación, os voy a poner las dudas que me surgieron antes de comprarla y mi posterior experiencia, por si os sirve de ayuda. - ¿Se pueden grabar guitarra y voz a la vez? Sí. Además cada registro entraría por canales diferentes, por lo que luego se pueden editar de forma independiente. - ¿Vale cualquier micro? Sí, tanto dinámico como de condensador. Además, lleva incorporado el PHANTOM, por lo que si tenéis un micro de condensador no necesitaréis comprarlo aparte. - ¿Hay problemas de latencia? No. Y esto bajo mi punto de vista es muy importante, hay tarjetas de sonido en las que empiezas a grabar sobre una pista, y al final la latencia hace que quede todo descuadrado. Es decir, que no sirven para grabar. En este caso puedes escuchar una pista que hayas grabado previamente mientras grabas otra nueva. - ¿Funciona bien el monitor? Perfectamente. Conectando unos auriculares, puedes oírte en todo momento de forma nítida mientras tocas. - ¿Cómo suenan los instrumentos y las voces? Yo hasta ahora he probado voces, guitarra acústica, española, eléctrica y ukelele. Todo suena bastante bien, no entra prácticamente ruido. Ya depende del tratamiento que le deis después a la grabación. - ¿Cómo se instala? Lo ideal es que busques los drivers originales, son fáciles de encontrar por Internet. En mi caso, con WINDOWS 10, la reconocía e instalaba, pero con unos drivers genéricos, por lo que tuve que buscar los específicos. Hay tutoriales en Youtube de cómo hacerlo. En fin, muy recomendable, espero que os sirva mi opinión, aun no he terminado de exprimirla, pero hasta ahora el resultado como os digo es muy positivo.

Prior to deciding to buy the Behringer U-Phoria, we had been struggling with the Steinberg UR22 for a few years now . With the UR22, you needed to install over 10GB of software and drivers, and the jump through hoops to get your account which is only allowed to run on a single machine, and is a lot of hassle to set up. Nothing so hard with the Behringer U-Phoria; we simply plugged it in to our PC, no software nor drivers required, the power LED lit up and we plugged our mic and headphones in - and it just works flawlessly. And better yet the sound quality from the U-Phoria is even better than the UR22. I can thoroughly recommend the Behringer U-Phoria. It's cheap, and very straight forward to use, with great sound quality. Sincerely get this product - it has made our lives so much easier and is my new favourite interface!

Very Good Interface for podcast

It's the perfect companion for the Rode PodMic, delivering professional-grade sound quality and performance at an affordable price point.
