I bought this because my Focusrite didn't have balanced outputs. The drivers installed themselves auto-magically. It worked perfectly when I plugged it in. This interface works flawlessly and fixed my buzzing problems! It has 4 inputs which is really useful because I can have multiple instruments plugged in, and switch easily between them when recording. It has the most features for this price range, so I would say the interface has really good value. Definitely pick one up, you won't be disappointed. Intuitive to use, didn't have to rtfm.

I recently purchased some JBL 305 MKii monitors for my desk so simplify my audio setup. I was getting noise from my PC analog output and many folks recommended an external DAC. Doing research introduced me to audio interfaces, which I'd never heard of before all this. I originally picked up the Focusrite 2i2 because of the solid all around reviews. It seemed to work fine, sound good, etc. But further reading led me to the 404 and given the additional features and the lower price, I had to check it out. I did quite a bit of A/B testing between the Focusrite 2i2 and the Behringer 404 and here is my non-expert conclusion: 1) Audio quality (DAC) is equal to that of the Focusrite. After lots of A/B testing with my favorite songs I honestly couldn't tell any difference between the two devices. Overall the quality is top notch, bringing forth lots of detail and definition that really shine through the 305s 2) Some people have complained about the quality of the headphone output, but I have found nothing wrong with it. I'm running a pair of Sony MDR-V6, which are efficient, and I can get ear-splitting volume with room to spare. Sound quality is also very good, but obviously much different going through a set of cans versus monitors. 3) Inputs work very well. At first I had trouble because I had the mic setting incorrect on my PC, but once I got that squared away playing my guitar through the inputs worked great. And I love the ability to pan between input and monitor volume with a knob on the box. The Focusrite doesn't have this. I'm no expert with audio interfaces, but so far this thing has been great and I'm enjoying my music all over again. Highly recommended as an audio interface and simply as a DAC for listening to FLAC and other high-res music files. You get much more functionality and excellent sound quality for less than you'll pay for many stand-alone DACs.

I accidentally found out about this through "Fluff" on Riff's and Beards (Youtube). I already own a professional home studio complete with a Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56, Octopre, and pretty much all the gear I could ever need. However, I needed something portable for traveling. There's nothing worse than being stuck on the road with time to kill, while you have projects sitting at home that need to be mixed! Even worse... hauling your recording rig around from place to place so you can work with artists on the go SUCKS! So I discovered this little gem, created a portable setup around it that fits into a carry-on bag... and I LOVE the little thing! It's lightweight (4lbs), sounds AMAZING, well built (very solid), no audible latency, fit's into a small bag, Mixed XLR or 1/4inch inputs (ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? For LESS than $100?), has phantom power so I can use my condenser mics; it's just a fantastic little unit for SO CHEAP! IT does have 2 VERY minor drawbacks (as others have mentioned), 1. Phantom power across the channels CAN kill ribbons mics, so disable that if you're using a ribbon (common knowledge for most engineers), 2. hunting down the drivers for it was kind of a pain... but not that big of a deal. I'm a big fan of Focusrite pre-amps, and almost bought a Scarlett with 1 input for $100... but why get 1 input, when you can have 4? It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out! My laptop powers this thing without issue, and let's get one thing straight... Behringer hit it right out of the park with this little guy! If you're a beginning musician, vocalist, Youtuber, voice-over artist, podcaster... ANYONE who needs a professional sound for your audio; do yourself a favor and grab one of these!

I admit I was a little skeptical of Berringher. I’ve had one of their stomp-box DIs for several years and have never been that impressed with it. This box changed my mind. Well designed, designed to last, low noise, high s/n. The headphone output is plenty loud for me. The drivers are dead simple. I’ve used many other interfaces and I appreciate dead simple. I’m using Cubase 10, Audacity, Reaper, and an old version of CakeWalk. It works with all of them with no fuss at all. Dead simple. Previously I used a Tascam FireOne. It was not dead simple. Moot point, it will not work with Windows 10 at all and is no longer supported by Tascam. After using the Berringer for more than a month I have finally found something to warn you about. Don’t set your cellphone on top of it while using it. Makes weird random noises every few minutes. Yep, that’s the only con I’ve discovered in over a month. I’m using it nearly every day. It’s a great box. Roughly six months in and I use this box nearly every single day. Not a single glitch of any kind. It has the quietest preamps I've ever used. The Tascam I was using before was good, this is much better. 2025 Update: I've been using this interface for a few years now and I'm still impressed. I use it on a purpose built MSI motherboard with Windows 10 and an ASUS FA16 gaming laptop running Windows 11. Works perfectly on both and allows me to have two completely different mixes of plug ins, one for tracking/mixing and another for Mastering. I'm now using Cubase 13 Artist and occasionally Cakewalk or Audacity. I've never had a problem mapping inputs and outputs, mono or stereo.

I've owned several audio interfaces over the years, the most recent being a Firewire one (Edirol FA-101, which I loved, but was difficult to use), and I have to say, this UMC404 is nifty. I seems sturdy and setup was easy. The layout is also sensible, with most of the inputs being on the front, and the outputs on the back which makes cable routing easier. I would say the sound is clean and largely noise-free. I was a bit worried about buying a Behringer, because my experience in the past with their products has always been "hit and miss" in terms of quality. But this device is relatively solid. And for the price, it's actually impressive. Why 4 stars? Well, remember it's a $100USD device. So it does have some notable limitations. Although there is more than enough gain on the inputs, and noise-free-ish, there isn't a lot of headroom. In fact, I was able to over-drive the inputs with some relatively aggressive pounding on a keyboard. So this means you are probably going to spend some time tweaking the pots down a tad for "hot" inputs. It's really more of an annoyance, to be honest, but it's what you get for $100. Installation was easy. After downloading the drivers for the Behringer website, and a reboot, it work great. Working fine in Cubase 9 and other apps like the Adobe Creative Suite. Glad I bought it.

So far I can't complain. The device does everything it's supposed to do that I have tested so far. That's everything except MIDI. Looking at the aggregate reviews of this product and its siblings on Amazon you will see a really mixed bag of results including as much as 12% one star. That can be a bad sign, but not necessarily. Looking at the reviews of this exact product on another web site that sells musical and pro-audio exclusively the aggregate rating there is higher with a near-zero fraction of very low ratings. That fact combined with the low cost of the product made it worth taking a chance on. At this price point, compared with what I will have to pay for a different very high-end product that pretty much takes out all the risk makes this Behringer product "trial" essentially disposable. For me, that's pretty much how I have to look at the costs of these things. That won't be true for everyone. So my experience with this so far: Set it up with some audio sources to the inputs, verified they were routing through to the headphone output, made sure I understood how to use the controls associated with this basic mode of operation. All good. Tested it with a CD player, a guitar (through an effects box), and a microphone. Phantom power is good, but it's all-or-nothing for all four inputs so watch out for that if you are using mixed microphones. Downloaded the UMC driver from Behringer and installed it. No problem, no conflicts. This is on Windows 7. Make sure you're up to date on windows updates, and read the release notes for the driver thoroughly. There are a couple of things that will break the driver due to missing updates or non-default group policy. It's all spelled out in the release notes. This alone probably accounts for half of the "didn't work with my computer" problems. After installing the drivers I connected the device to the computer for the first time. It was recognized and appeared in the driver's on-screen device list/manager window. This is a nice feature of the driver. You can't do a ton of stuff with it but at least you can see what's connected and you can do some basic configuration. Next thing I did was start my DAW. I'm using the current (free) version of Cake Walk by BandLab. I figured it would see the new audio device and ask me if I wanted to switch my input and output assignments to this device. What it actually did was blue screen the computer! And it was not a fluke. Totally repeatable, as long as the 404's usb cable was plugged in. But it started with no problem with the 404 disconnected. Once Cake Walk was running I connected the usb from the 404 again and everything was ok. Cake walk recognized the audio devices and I switched my inputs and outputs over to it accordingly. With that step done, Cake Walk now opens and closes and opens again while the 404 is connected with no problems. I would have to say it's a toss-up between blaming the UMC driver or Cake Walk for this initial problem. It doesn't matter, it was just a transient. So now my audio is going in and coming out of the computer. I'm really just learning Cake Walk so I'm not doing a lot of complex tests at this point. I recorded some audio off the input from the 404 and played it back through the 404 and that all worked. Audio quality is fine. I'm not an audiophile and I'm not using this for professional recording and it suits my needs for now. A couple of negatives: Phantom power is not individually selectable per input. Everyone will complain about this. The headphone / monitor output on the front panel can only listen to two of the four output channels (audio coming from the computer) at once. A pushbutton on the front panel selects between outputs 1+2, or 3+4. You cannot get all four at once, and this is quite a limitation if you're not using a mixer. Overall I'm totally happy with this so far. I have not experienced any of the complaints that I have read in other reviews. It will be interesting to see if it holds up over time.

This is my first Behringer device. It won't be my last. Page said "Usually ships in 3-5 months" but I had it in 3 weeks, so way above expectation there. USB device records 4 channels at an honest 32 bits and 192KHz. There is no other maker you can get that from for less than 8x the price, and into several thousands of dollars. Value is an unqualified excellent if it delivers - and it does. Quality microphone preamps on all four channels a bonus. Using it with a mic and stand also ordered from Amazon, the Fluoreon BM-800 with shock mount, generic stand. Sturdy construction. Simple interface. Portable design. Flexible auto adaptation of microphone/instrument/line on all four inputs. These qualities speak to quality both in engineering and manufacturing. One possible criticism is the 48V phantom power for the mic is all four lines or none, but not being able to ignore phantom power is a microphone engineering problem and not the fault of this device. Still, per line phantom power would be worth the cost of the extra buttons. Not taking points off for that, but would buy that device. Linux support: In Ubuntu the device was automatically detected, seen in applications and fully supported with no user action other than selecting the device as input from the menu. Full settings and capabilities of the device accessible in applications. Literally under one minute from plugging in the USB to recording studio, while not connected to the Internet. No reading instructions, downloading drivers, workarounds, alt-get, nothing. "Just Works". My preteens are having a blast with it right now, so if you can't figure this out you're qualified to be our Secretary of Education. This thing would probably record 4 channels of audio to my Chromebook and Android devices, but the capability is so unexpected I might have to port the app myself. Haven't tested it in the quiet room, but the waveforms so far are glorious. Seriously, at a hundred clams for the advertised specs I was expecting serious compromises, potato quality and a couple gotchas. Nope. Not found. This Behringer device is legit. Can't wait to try their other stuff. I wish I could give this six stars. Unqualified recommend.

This sounds good, not noisy. There are a few things I might change but for the money it is really good. No show stoppers.
