  • Gets the job done on a budget.
Size: Small Style: Original Version
Like just about everything Behringer makes at this price point, the UMC22 is chiefly one thing: cost-effective. You don't get best-in-class sound quality. You don't get a flashy brand name. You don't get the most features. What you do get is an audio interface that works, and honestly does a surprisingly good job. Setup is easy. Plug it into your computer. USB2 is fine. Plug in your headphones. Plug in your monitors. Plug in your mics/instruments. Done. Drivers aren't obscure or finicky. Don't worry about it. Outputs in the rear need two 1/4" TR cables for left and right channel. Output in the front needs a 1/4" TRS cable. Make sure you've got semi-decent studio headphones and/or monitors, too - an audio setup is only as strong as its weakest link, and if you're looking up 1/4" adapters for your Beats or whatever, maybe skip this and invest in better headphones instead. Craftsmanship's okay. It's a Behringer audio interface, not an SM-58. I wouldn't go throwing it down flights of stairs for fun. You have two audio inputs - the XLR/TRS hybrid jack going through the Midas preamp, and the second TRS jack that goes through a Xenyx preamp. Neither are particularly touted for their sound quality (the Midas is better than the Xenyx by far, though), but it's miles above motherboard-integrated stuff. Both can record at 48KHz tops - as far as I'm concerned, if you're looking at this interface instead of something higher-end, that's plenty. The "direct monitor" button you see on the front ducks your computer sound output and lets you listen to your connected inputs through the hardware, which has its uses. The interface outputs to headphones and to external monitors by means of 1/4" TRS and TR cables, respectively. Sound is clean - mind you, my ears aren't well trained to that sort of thing, and if yours aren't either then the sound quality should be fine. It's important to note that it will always output to both headphones and monitors - if you want to listen to just headphones or just monitors on-the-fly, this won't provide a convenient solution to that. It does, however, eliminate the need to go through your OS's sound system, which can be useful when working with ASIO or CoreAudio exclusive modes to reduce latency. If you want the best and have the money to back up your needs, consider looking elsewhere. Again - an audio setup is only as strong as its weakest link. But if you want the pretty solid, and you're on the kind of budget that has you saving up for purchases like these, I think you can't go wrong with the UMC22, or the U-PHORIA series in general. TL;DR: It's cheap. It's fine. If you need it, get it. ... show more

  • Still a great first interface for $50 even now.
Size: Small Style: Original Version
Purchased through Sweetwater, can confirm this is indeed a plug and play unit and have had no issues so far, i can confidently say that this unit despite having been around for a decade now, is still great for anyone wanting their first interface or is on a tight budget the mic preamps are great for the price and headphone outputs works fairly well with easy to drive IEMS and has little to no noise for the volume I have it set to So for $50 or less it's still a good choice for getting started with if you're new with audio interfaces like me. ... show more

  • Nice entry level interface.
Size: Small Style: Original Version
Very good interface for its price range. Great midas pre amps, always reliable. a little bit too much noise floor is a bit too high for my liking. but overall, as i said, for the price, it is awesome! even better than focusrite ones. This one, believe me, it will not give you headaches with drivers or anything like that, feels great overall, works great. The only downside i see, is that it can only work at 16 bits of depth, which could be a big drawback for you, or not... ... show more

  • Great Sound Audio Interface That’s Easy to Use
Size: Small Style: Original Version
This Behringer UMC22 sounds really clear and makes my guitar and mic sound awesome. It’s easy to plug in and start recording without any trouble. For the price, it works great and feels like a really good deal.

  • Great quality for the price, Definitely buy if on sale
Size: Small Style: Original Version
This thing is amazing for the price. It works with mics that need phantom power, the dials feel great and very sturdy, the thing itself feels high quality without being extremely heavy/bulky, it looks pretty simple and stays out of the way when you're not using it, and it passes through audio signal great. I'm not a fan of the USB-B port for connectivity, but if you really don't want to keep that included cable around, get yourself a USB-C to USB-B adapter and you'll be good to go, because I tested that, and it worked for me too. ... show more

  • Great quality plug-and-play usb audio interface for the price.
Size: Small Style: Original Version
Absolutely amazing low-price audio interface. Perfect for people who want to have a headphone and microphone setup for their PC's. Lightweight, nice volume controls on the device separate from the volume on the PC so you can mix the sounds yourself. No software required and easy to use. Plug and play pretty much. ... show more
