U-PHORIA UM2 2 x 2 Audio interfacce with USB 2.0

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.

it is a great product overall. ordered it a few days back and like it works as an intermediary between your laptop/speaker and your instrument/mic it is value for money and got a good enough audio quality. yes it is portable i carry it almost everywhere and design is just great. one thing it lacks is i doesn’t have a c cable jack which makes me carry extra wires.

Good

Before buying Behringer UM2 I had many apprehensions, since I am do not have much knowledge about music production and related things. Here, I would like to give a detailed account of its usage, so other youtubers and podcasters would not have to do the amout of reasearch that I had to put in. I don't know how good this is for music. I didn't hear any hiss even after I cranked up the gain to the max. But for voice recoding, this sounds perfect. Unlike what many people state, I went for a dynamic mic instead of a condenser. That is because, condenser mics including lav mics like Boya are good at capturing all the frequencies, so the overall sound quality would be high. But, they are also good at capturing background noise too. But a dynamic mic ( a 700 rupee Ahuja mic) would be so silent that I was able to record my voice at a pro level when another room was undergoing renovation and masonry work. The gain is just average and I have to give 150% amplification in audacity. Yet, the audio seems to be clean. We have to use an interface like this Behringer, since dynamics mics do not have their own power, so the signal would be too feeble to be picked up by the computer. To use Behringer UM2 , first attach the cable that came with mic to the front left port of Behringer UM2. Mine was an xlr to 6mm connector. The same port in the UM2 can also accept XLR cable. Now, connect a USB cable provided inside to your deskop/laptop. This usb cable is different from the usual USB cables, so you should not lose it. This cable feeds power to the UM2 from the desktop and also sends data to the computer. Finally go to setting (I use linux mint) and make adjustments like the one given in my pic. Thats it.

Got it yesterday, its cute looking and built is also fine, no complaints as per its price. I got samson condenser n my korg pa300 attached initially with win10 laptop. The sound in direct monitoring was good with my akg headphones but getting drivers were complicated. They say in there demo thats its plug n play but i dont know how. In my audacity it was not showing so i tried finding its drivers which was tough n on there website also the all asio drivers are very complicated to make them work specially with audacity. So tried getting its supplied tracksion software but it was also complicated to get by filling forms n making login ids for it, would hv preferred a cd instead or some other easy process for it. Got tracsion codes now but hv not installed them as it was long n exhausting work already so will try it later n hope it works well. I really hope these are not the cases with other interfaces like focusrite etc as its very irritating for me. Now from past 2-3 days Im trying to make it work, downloaded its drivers, wave software also and seen demos but I dont know why Im still not able to record anything. Im very disappointed and advise not to buy it as its process are very complicated to make it work Im still struggling and dont want anyone else to waste their time on this useless equipment, pls spend more and get focusrite or other better products. Im sure they must be simplier.

I have no complaints about the seller or Amazon. Both have done a great job of packing, shipping and accepting returns. Yes, I've returned this product. Not because it has bad audio quality or bad build quality. They're actually good. The problem is that the product is quite old and Behringer has stopped providing specific drivers for this device and suggests using ASIO4ALL which is a nightmare. I have spent 3 days trying to figure out how to make ASIO4ALL work with this device but the driver keeps locking up as soon as you open another app. There are many many such complaints about this and the Behringer care team will ask you to try many things and then ask you to install older drivers which are not officially supported on Windows 7 and above. So it will work for some and not work for some. It didn't work for me and I had to sadly return this and instead purchase Behringer UMC202HD U-Phoria USB Audio Interface with MIDAS Microphone Preamplifiers which is probably 2-3K more than this but has more features, better pre-amps and a driver that actually works great with Windows 10!

Good product

It's easy to use, easy to understand. That doesn't mean you'll get it in an instant. Takes up a little bit of your time to figure out but once you do, you'll be happy about your purchase. Good sound quality, good to start your work with. Definitely recommended and worth it. If anyone has second thoughts before every purchase like I do, you don't have to worry about anything for this product. It delivers as it's expected to and doesn't disappoint. Go for it. Also it comes with a USB AB a.k.a USB-2.0 cable a.k.a the printer cable so you don't need to buy that separately to connect it to your laptop/PC.
