Behringer U-Phoria UM2 2×2 USB Audio Interface
The Behringer U-Phoria UM2 is a compact 2×2 USB audio interface for recording vocals, guitar, keyboards, podcasts and simple home studio sessions. Easily connect it to a microphone or instrument and your Windows/Mac computer, with recording up to 48kHz.
If you’re looking for an affordable first audio interface, the UM2 is a good pick. You get a XENYX mic preamp, 48V phantom power, a dedicated instrument input, direct monitoring and USB bus power in a small desktop unit.
Record Vocals, Guitar and Instruments
The UM2 includes a combination XLR/TRS input for microphones or line-level sources, plus a dedicated 1/4-inch instrument input for guitar, bass or compatible keyboards. For singer-songwriters, guitarists, podcasters and creators who want to record one or two sources at home, this interface does the job!
The XENYX microphone preamp supports selectable 48V phantom power, so you can use compatible condenser microphones as well as dynamic microphones. If you’re building a recording setup, have a look at DJ City’s range of recording microphones and studio headphones.
Simple Monitoring and Outputs
The front-panel headphone output lets you listen while recording, and the direct monitor switch helps you hear your input with less delay while tracking. Stereo RCA outputs are included for connecting compatible powered speakers, studio monitors or other playback gear.
Because the UM2 is USB bus powered, you don’t need a separate power supply for normal computer-based recording. Just connect it by USB, connect your mic or instrument, and start working in your preferred recording software.
Home Recording, Podcasting and Streaming
The UM2 suits simple music recording, podcasting, livestreaming, voice-over work and content creation. It works with popular DAW software including Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Cubase and other computer-based recording programs, making it a practical entry point into home recording.
