Review: Can't go wrong with the UM2 it sounds amazing. - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this include a usb power cable that goes from the interface to the computer?**
A: yes it comes with a USB cable, it gets the 48v phantom power through your USB port, 48 volts is basically 3 AA Batteries, so it's not like you need DC power

**Q: Can it write four tracks simultaneosly?**
A: Keep in mind that this listing combines the UM2, UMC202HD, UMC204HD, UMC404HD, and UMC1820 onto a single page.  So it is easy to confuse which unit you're talking about.  The 404HDwill be able to send 4 discrete tracks to your DAW.  The UM2 and 202HD can only do 2 tracks at a time.  The 1820 can record up to 18 tracks when paired with an 8-channel ADAT preamp and a 2-channel S/PDIF preamp.

**Q: will this power a microphone that requires phantom power? sorry if this is a dumb question, im new to XLR microphones**
A: Phantom power is 48W to Condenser Microphones, i use MXL 990 Its nice and i enjoy work with my Berhinger UM2 and my Mic MXL

**Q: It appears that phantom power gets switched on all 4 mic pres simultaneously. Can I use dynamic & condenser mics together without causing damage?**
A: Lets correct a few things.  NO dynamic mics need Phantom power.  And yes the power will reach the dynamic mics and generally that is OK.  Also condensers that don't have batteries NEED phantom power.  B123 managed a post with some serious misinformation.  It is best not to send phantom to a dynamic because if the phantom is unbalanced a bit (broken cable, dirty pins etc.) you move the diaphragm of the capsule.  So I wouldn't worry about it because the chance of actually doing damage is very small.  The info on Ribbon mics is important to remember because Phantom will damage classic ribbon mics.  I believe some of the modern ones have built in protections, but I wouldn't take a chance unless a manufacturer actually says their mic is safe on phantom power.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid fairly well built, some issues, good deal for the money
*by S***R on March 5, 2016*

I purchased this in order to have a small interface for traveling and sometimes to record at night on a different machine. Maybe I would rate it higher. I found that everything works very well I have audio interfaces that are part of some other machine ( Digital recorder, effects unit). I don't get any latency with those interfaces. On the Mac in Live I get some latency using the Behringer but interestingly not when I use a plug-in like amplitube. In addition you need to download the driver to work with windows. This is not difficult at all but just letting you know. It's fun late at night to have a simple interface works great With GarageBand, mix craft and pretty well with live like I said I'm not sure if a "" better"interface would have less latency. Everything works nicely, I do like Behringer but ironically I think I would travel with a different interface maybe I would've returned it if it was convenient. For the price and the quality it's a great first audio interface for a beginner and perhaps a convenient one where you don't need bells and whistles. I'm a little wary of buying an older used interface and this is just about the least expensive and quite small. For now I'll keep it though I might sell it at some point. If you need a small interface that takes up very little room and easy to use and does have Direct monitoring I think this is a good unit. Small well-built interfaces go for around $100 so this one will save you money if that's an issue or is a great spare for travel, the office, or where you don't want to break up your studio but you need an interface with another computer or to record elsewhere. For the size you could just carried around in the car so you can record wherever you go.
