Review: Fantastic, functional, sturdy piece of hardware at an unbeatable price - So first of all this interface straight out of the box is of sturdy construction and comes with the required usb to hook it up. It provides 48v of phantom power to my DI box no problem, and the preamps have a very distinctive texture that in my opinion are second in sound qualiry only to Audient, who are very expensive and give you less inputs and outputs for your money. Both preamps are that weird hybrid kind that accept both jack leads and xlr cables, possibly more but unsure as i only tend to use those two. The pad that you can toggle to set the preamp to line level or instrument level is pretty nifty and could save you from having to use a di box depending on what you're plugging into it. Direct monitoring is pretty cool too you can switch between stereo and mono, very useful when you use headphones, and can also adjust the mix to the point where you can only hear whats going into the interface, or what's coming out of your DAW, and any blend of the two. As well as the headphone jack on the front it can also have i think it's two sets of monitors hooked up to the back which can be switched between on the front of the interface. Only drawback personally is that the LED system to check levels and clipping is ony like, two lights one green one red but that's fairly common amongst interfaces in and beyond this price range. All this coupled with the fact that it'll probably outlast my laptop and has midi ports on the back, makes me say that this is the ideal audio interface for producers/recording engineers, etc, who are starting a home setup, want a lot of options in terms of functionality and dont want to upgrade for a long time. And it's extremely useful for people of all levels as a portable interface. Fantastic piece of hardware for a fantastic price. Review: Great at recording my old records - I’m using this to record my old vinyl records into digital files which I can play on my phone and other devices. I’m very impressed by it. My record player is connected to my NAD3020A amp. I’ve connected the Behringer UCA222 to the Tape ports on the back of the amp using my own amp cables, and then connected the Behringer to my Windows 10 laptop using its USB cable. On my laptop I’ve installed the free Audacity software for doing the recording. It’s all working wonderfully. I’m very impressed by the sound. Of course, you are not going to get the quality of a modern high-definition audio recording, but I think the Behringer is giving a very faithful recording of my records. Setting up was far easier than I expected. Other than downloading Audacity, I didn’t need to download any other software or drivers. The only glitch was that the sound was initially being processed by my laptop as mono. Looking some helpful reviews, I realised I needed to change to the settings for this recording device to “2 channel 16 bit 44100 Hz”. To do this on my laptop (others may differ slightly): open the Control Panel; from the Sound menu choose Sound Control Panel, then choose Recording. From the Sound pop-up window, select Microphone 2-USB Audio CODEC to open the Microphone Properties, then select the desired 2 channel 16 bit setting from the Default Format panel. Having done that once, I have not needed change it since. Although no software is supplied with the UCA222, the recommended free Audacity is good. It looks a bit daunting at first, but the basics are pretty simple, with an interface similar to a tape recorder. And there are some simple inbuilt tutorials to guide you through some other things you might want to do, such as click removal, channel balancing, track marking, and removing inter-track noise. I was hesitant to buy the UCA222, having read some of the reviews that encountered problems. However, for my needs – recording records via my amp – it’s working superbly. ## Features - STUDIO IN A BLACK BOX: When it’s time to make recording history on your Mac or Windows computer, plug in microphones, instruments or line level sources to the UMC204HD’s 2 combination XLR/TRS inputs for the ultimate in studio flexibility!

In your case, if you put the mic on the left, you put Channel 1. If you chose to record on 1/2, the DAW thinks you're recording left and right Channel with two mics, for stereo recording. That is why you are hearing left only. You're meant to set on the software the Input(Channel 01) so that you can record Mono sound. Then you'll be able to hear this mono sound on both left right ear. Then you can use the reverb function to make it "stereo" like. As for the dynamic mics, if you leave Phantom Power on, it won't matter for the mic. Long as it is not Ribbon mic. 48V power will render any Ribbon mic useless. I hope this helps. **Q: Does this interface come with the USB power cable?** A: It only powers it with drivers 5.51 on standby otherwise on Windows 10 22x2 the latest there is an unresolved issue which Behringer is trying to resolve with Microsoft as it does this on multiple machines its connected too non routing a microphone . I have had two neither function correctly **Q: Can i record with 2 mics simultaneously? Is the phantom power enough to power 2 mics?** A: Yes, I have it powering a pair of large-diaphragm phantom-only condenser mics with no difficulty. **Q: Does this come with asio drivers? (not just asio4all)** A: I cannot remember if the drivers are in the box, but asio drivers are available from the website ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic, functional, sturdy piece of hardware at an unbeatable price *by L***N on 9 February 2021* So first of all this interface straight out of the box is of sturdy construction and comes with the required usb to hook it up.

However from the perspective of someone using a dynamic microphone, the low amount of gain is a shame. I have not tested this interface with a condenser microphone so I cannot comment on the phantom power. Starting with the good, the interface is of good build quality, it is made from metal and feels sturdy, in terms of the casing and the knobs, I don't feel as though I would accidentally damage it in normal use at all. 2 XLR inputs is always nice to have, and these are both monitored separately. The headphone monitoring is quite good, there is a bit of noise, however the latency is very low, it feels instant to me. Mono and stereo output is supported via a hardware switch, which is nice as other interfaces will often only allow you to change this in software. The amps are good in terms of signal quality, I find that they are very clean right up until you turn them to max gain, where electrical buzzing can be heard. My favourite part about this interface is that it just works on Linux. I have found issues with other interfaces such as the scarlet solo 3rd gen, where linux will not allow you to have a mono signal, so the microphone would only be heard from one channel, ie one ear for headphone users. I have had no such issues with this interface, and I can control everything I need from hardware which is a big plus. Unfortunately this interface is powered over USB which limits the power of it's amplifier. The overall gain for dynamic microphones is quite low, I am not sure what the exact measurements are, but it certainly doesn't feel loud, however it is likely just fine for instruments and singing, for spoken voice it does okay, but it would be nice to have more volume headroom, not that this interface is any worse than other USB interfaces in terms of gain. I do hear some occasional electrical buzzing, but I am not sure if that is the fault of the interface or not. If you are okay with the drawbacks, this is a great interface for the price and I can recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Behringer UMC204HD Audiophile 2x4, 24-Bit/192 kHz USB Audio/MIDI Interface with Midas Mic Preamplifiers,Black - Stagg 3M / 10ft XLR to XLR Cable, 3-Pin Male to Female, Suitable for Microphone, PA System, Audio Mixer, Studio Monitors, Audio Recording - Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48001520-umc204hd-audiophile-2x4-24-bit-192-khz-usb-audio-midi](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48001520-umc204hd-audiophile-2x4-24-bit-192-khz-usb-audio-midi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
