Behringer U-PHORIA UM2 Audiophile 2x2 USB Audio Interface with XENYX Mic Preamplifier | for Recording Microphones and Instruments

The Behringer U-Phoria UM2 USB Audio Interface is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking to elevate their audio recording setup. I recently paired it with my Rode PodMic, and the results have been outstanding. This audio interface delivers crystal-clear sound quality, allowing the Rode PodMic to shine and capture every nuance of my voice. Whether I'm recording podcasts, voiceovers, or music, the UM2 ensures that my audio comes through with pristine clarity and accuracy. I also appreciate the ease of use and versatility of the UM2. With its plug-and-play functionality, I was up and running in no time, and the intuitive controls make it easy to adjust levels and settings to suit my needs. Overall, I'm extremely impressed with the Behringer U-Phoria UM2 USB Audio Interface. It's the perfect companion for the Rode PodMic, delivering professional-grade sound quality and performance at an affordable price point. If you're looking to take your audio recording to the next level, I highly recommend giving the UM2 a try.

Amazing little interface for the price. I picked up the UM2 to drive an inexpensive XLR condenser mic, and it works great. Its pretty no frills, but you can't go wrong for the price. Behringer did a nice job with the DAC's and they are very clean and noise free for me. I did see a subtle difference with the website driver vs the generic Windows installed driver but I didn't use any of the other software. Dual input is a bonus at this price, even with the single XLR and 1/4 TRS input jack, they are driven with independent GAIN settings. The next one up offers some extra features like a pad feature and an improved MIDAS preamp, but honestly the little UM2 sounds just fine for my needs, it is pretty on part with some more expensive ones out on the market, and I'd be hard pressed to no choose that over a little USB mixer board for the $70-100 price point of some of the others. It depends on what you want though, if you have 1-2 inputs and you don't care about compressors and all that fancy stuff or just need a no frills clean interface than this works great. Computer sound can be pumped out the outputs (RCA and 1/4 TRS), and mixed with a monitor button. The monitor blend button does quiet the output somewhat but it lets you hear the inputs overlaid with he audio. The indicators are small but nice to have, good to see some signal activity and clipping. The only cons that I have are that the USB input is driven with a single mixed channel input, so if your looking for virtual interfaces, eh you won't find it at this price point.

Channel 1 seems to work great and I have recorded several songs using this but channel 2 doesn't seem to work at all. Other than that it seems to be an ok interface.

I was struggling to get good audio into my PC... noise and RF interference even with good filters just never gave me the audio I knew I could get from my ribbon velocity mics. Tried various sound cards over the years, even bought the 8 channel Beringer 1204 USB model where (for different reasons) I still struggled to get the sound I wanted. Out of desperation and frustration with hours of research and years of dust collecting in the studio, I took a chance on this guy, fully preparing to regret a second beringer purchase. To my amazement, plug & play this little box gave me near perfect audio from the first test. No bells or whistles.. but also no noise and a clean punchy gain control with default driver settings. I was able to use this little box to troubleshoot the (ASIO driver) issue I was having with my 1204, (recording level needs boosted to 88 on the driver tab, and sliders need to go +5db with gain at 3:00 for my Sure and RCA mics).. not ideal, but happy to have my mixer back in the mix) - this little guy will be my go-to mobile interface and back-up unit. Super happy with its design, performance, and price point to solve an issue I've been fighting for years. Would buy again.

I do a lot of teleconferencing (Jitsi Meet, Zoom, MS Teams, Webex, you name it) for work, and some streaming on the side. I'm using an XLR mic and over-the-ear headphones. This device makes an ideal audio interface for those applications. Here are the specific things I like: o- Option to directly monitor mic input through headphones. This lets me hear my own audio through a zero-lag path with no "speech jammer" effect. o- Works with stock USB audio drivers on Linux and Windows 10. Nothing to download, nothing to install. Just plug it in and it goes. o- Selectable 48V phantom power. o- Clean pre-amp. Maybe not world-class, but way better than it has any right to be at this price point. The noise floor here is not going to be your limiting factor if you're using this on a conference call or Twitch stream. o- Simple controls with clear labels. Does one job with minimal hassle or clutter. The only down sides I see are: o- I'd like linear pots (sliders) instead of rotary knobs. o- The only level indication on the device itself is a set of "signal" and "clip" lights. It would be nice to have something a little more detailed. o- It would have been nicer if the XLR combo jack were on the back rather than the front. As it is, you'll have an XLR cable sticking out of the front and a USB cable hanging from the back. This can make placement awkward, depending on your setup. All in all, a very nice product which does a great job meeting my specific needs.

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.

LE POURQUOI DU COMMENT -------------------------------------------------------------------- Voilà : one's uppon a time, j'avais un mini-PC sur ma sono qui me servait - et me sert encore , mais en mieux maintenant ! - pour le streaming audio. Et c'est pas pour fayoter, mais AMAZON Music est une bibliothèque sans fin pour ça, avec de la HD, de l'UHD et un nombre de titres incroyable. Ce qui est bien avec ce mini-PC, c'est que je peux prendre la main dessus par plein de moyens, dont une radiocommande clavier/souris, AnyDesk, etc. Il est relié à lui seul sur 2 entrées de ma table de mix principale. Seulement, j'avais une carte son assez pourritte... Du dépannage qui commençait à un peu trop durer. Et comme je mélange ça avec dans un ensemble son/DAW, et des cartes comme Steinberg et PreSonus ça faisait désordre. J'ai donc opté pour cette carte pas chère du tout de chez Behringer (j'ai déjà du matériel de cette marque, éléments de sono, synthés). LE RESULTAT DES COURSES -------------------------------------------------------------------- Pour 32€ je me trouve avec un streaming audio qui n'a plus rien à voir ! Et encore, je n'exploiterai même pas les entrées de la carte... Elle est donc carrément sous-utilisée, mais bon. Je vous laisse regarder les photos et les vidéos (le son n'est pas mixé, désolé, c'est celui du téléphone, pas le temps pour ça). Mais croyez-moi, c'est du tonnerre ! Niveau installation : rien à faire du tout. Et surtout, le lecteur AMAZON Music ne s'arrête même plus en cas de débranchement de l'USB ! Ce n'était pas le cas avec mon ancienne "carte son". Pour recâbler proprement : hop! Je coupe. Hop! Je remets, aucun soucis niveau Windows (10 Pro). Vous remarquerez que j'ai doublé les sortie L/R. En effet, une paire va sur la table de mixage, l'autre directement sur les entrées de la Steinberg de mon PC DAW (un mini-PC de gamer, faut ça pour la MAO). J'ai un sélecteur qui permet de swaper mix/direct pour les prises de son/échantillonnages. J'ai en plus, gagné un des ces gains par rapport à l'autre carte !!! Et ce son, clair, puissant, qui claque comme il faut dans mes AYRA PRO 6 :-D (réglées au neutre je précise). Eh ! Allez-y franchement ! Pour 30€ j'ai vite abandonné l'idée chinoise, si vous voyez ce que je veux dire ;) Commandée hier, testé et approuvée cet après-midi ! Que demander de plus ? Dommage, on ne peut uploader qu'une seule vidéo ici, mais bon, cela vous donnera une idée.

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

Best Audio Interface in the price range, the build quality is good, knobs feel well build, ports are sturdy, overall plastic construction is great. Definitely go with it.
