U-Phoria goes HD audio

The Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD is a compact 2-in/4-out USB audio interface that can be operated under Windows and macOS, and offers excellent value for money. As its name indicates, it comes with high-resolution converters that can operate at sample rates of up to 24-bit/192kHz. The two input channels are equipped with high-quality microphone preamplifiers developed by the well-established British manufacturer Midas and achieve both detailed and natural recordings. With its four output channels available on phono sockets, the main output mirrored on balanced jacks for the main monitors, and a comprehensive monitoring and cueing section, the U-Phoria UMC204HD certainly offers an impressive range of features, especially at this price point, that will ideally cater to the budding recording enthusiast.

A studio in a box

The Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD's two XLR/jack combo inputs accommodate dynamic and condenser microphones, line sources like keyboards and drum synths, and high-impedance instruments like guitars and basses. Each input also features an analogue insert to connect to outboard gear (such as an analogue compressor), and an attenuation pad - which is impressive in this price range. A direct monitoring switch is also provided which allows monitoring at the inputs of the Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD without any perceivable latency, an important feature when recording live vocals and instruments. The monitoring section also includes a dedicated headphone output and volume control, as well as a handy crossfader between sources 1 and 2, for DJ-style cueing, e.g. when running virtual DJ software.

Extensive connectivity for beginners

The Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD is an affordable USB audio interface equipped with high-quality preamplifiers and a diverse range of features, including MIDI connectivity, and will particularly appeal to those who are new to home recording. The diverse range of connections on offer are sure to find favour here: The dual stereo phono outputs, for instance, allow convenient connection to a hi-fi system alongside active studio monitors, e.g. for A/B monitoring, which is very useful when mixing. The A/B switch can assign a different mix to the stereo output and the headphone output. Moreover, the insert option means that external effects such as compressors and equalisers can come into play, further enhancing the recording options available with this versatile and high-quality interface.

About Behringer

The company, which was founded in Germany by Uli Behringer and now manufactures its products in China, has been known for affordable and great-value equipment since its very first product, the Studio Exciter F. An array of mixing consoles (such as the Eurodesk MX8000), signal processors, and later sound amplification and monitoring equipment, has made it possible for countless musicians to fit out their home studios, practice rooms, and mobile PAs within budget limits that were previously unthinkable. The acquisition of other companies, including Midas, Klark Teknik, and TC Electronic, meant that new product groups were added - and also resulted in the technical expertise of these companies being incorporated into product development.

A sturdy companion

The Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD is a great "on the road" companion. Its sturdy and compact metal casing is perfectly suited to nomadic use, requiring no additional power supply thanks to its efficient USB power operation. Ideal for mobile recording with its high-quality preamps, it excels in live situations, seamlessly playing back effects and tracks from a laptop on stage. A notable feature is its internal MIDI interface, which allows direct and hassle-free connection of controllers like keyboards or drum pads. This is especially beneficial when MIDI over USB isn't available or when aiming to keep the laptops' USB ports free. The UMC204HD thus combines portability with versatility and caters to a wide range of mobile recording and performance needs.
