Model overview based on user reviews
The Behringer U-PHORIA UMC22 is a compact and affordable audio interface that offers good preamp quality and ASIO compatibility with low latency, making it suitable for home recording setups. It supports USB and cable condenser microphones, providing a smooth and enhanced sound with a low noise level. However, it records at a low resolution of 16-bit, which may not suffice for professional studio recordings. Users have noted that cable microphones record in only one channel, while USB microphones record in both. Some users experienced occasional audio glitches during playback and minor artifacts during recording with dynamic microphones. Despite these issues, the interface is praised for its lightweight and sturdy design, ease of use, and affordability. For those seeking higher quality, the UMC 202 HD model is recommended for its professional sound capabilities.
Pros
Cons
I recently purchased this card, but I misjudged a bit. I was tempted by the price (3500) but the description stated 48 kHz 24 bit; it turned out to be 16 bit, which is a bit lacking for studio recordings. Overall, the card is not bad, the preamp is good, and the condenser microphone performs fully. Regarding MIDI (when installing the latest original drivers, which you still have to search for online, as the ones on the site are outdated), there are no complaints about latency. But set the latency to 10.7 ms, don't go lower, as it might glitch, especially on not-so-multithreaded processors (like my AMD A9 R5, 2x threads). The sound itself is good for its specs, the path is not noisy at all, complete silence! But it's a pity that I learned about the existence of the UMC 202 HD model only after purchasing the UMC 22. The 202 HD offers professional sound, 24 bit 192 kHz. Plus, an additional line and XLR input. The price is only 2k more, but the level is entirely different! I advise everyone not to make the same mistake as I did and don't rely solely on the price, especially since installment payments are available! Go for the UMC 202 HD right away, and I'm sure that most of you, fellow home sound engineers and arrangers, will find it sufficient. (I'll say right away, you can find the UMC 202 for a bit over 5k.) Good preamp, asio compatibility with low latency, support for USB and cable condenser microphones, regarding USB especially relevant, since many cheap cards, even hd, have glitches when working with them. Good, smooth enhanced (not flat) sound, low noise level in the circuit. Only low resolution. (16 bit) And there's one more disappointing point. The cable microphone records in only one channel, even if you set it to mono. It will sound in both channels in the headphones, but the recording is only in one. ((But the USB microphone records in both channels, and that pleases me, I have two)) (cable and USB)) use Behringer U-PHORIA UMC22 less than month |
