Review: Fantastic, functional, sturdy piece of hardware at an unbeatable price - So first of all this interface straight out of the box is of sturdy construction and comes with the required usb to hook it up. It provides 48v of phantom power to my DI box no problem, and the preamps have a very distinctive texture that in my opinion are second in sound qualiry only to Audient, who are very expensive and give you less inputs and outputs for your money. Both preamps are that weird hybrid kind that accept both jack leads and xlr cables, possibly more but unsure as i only tend to use those two. The pad that you can toggle to set the preamp to line level or instrument level is pretty nifty and could save you from having to use a di box depending on what you're plugging into it. Direct monitoring is pretty cool too you can switch between stereo and mono, very useful when you use headphones, and can also adjust the mix to the point where you can only hear whats going into the interface, or what's coming out of your DAW, and any blend of the two. As well as the headphone jack on the front it can also have i think it's two sets of monitors hooked up to the back which can be switched between on the front of the interface. Only drawback personally is that the LED system to check levels and clipping is ony like, two lights one green one red but that's fairly common amongst interfaces in and beyond this price range. All this coupled with the fact that it'll probably outlast my laptop and has midi ports on the back, makes me say that this is the ideal audio interface for producers/recording engineers, etc, who are starting a home setup, want a lot of options in terms of functionality and dont want to upgrade for a long time. And it's extremely useful for people of all levels as a portable interface. Fantastic piece of hardware for a fantastic price.
Review: Great at recording my old records - I’m using this to record my old vinyl records into digital files which I can play on my phone and other devices. I’m very impressed by it. My record player is connected to my NAD3020A amp. I’ve connected the Behringer UCA222 to the Tape ports on the back of the amp using my own amp cables, and then connected the Behringer to my Windows 10 laptop using its USB cable. On my laptop I’ve installed the free Audacity software for doing the recording. It’s all working wonderfully. I’m very impressed by the sound. Of course, you are not going to get the quality of a modern high-definition audio recording, but I think the Behringer is giving a very faithful recording of my records. Setting up was far easier than I expected. Other than downloading Audacity, I didn’t need to download any other software or drivers. The only glitch was that the sound was initially being processed by my laptop as mono. Looking some helpful reviews, I realised I needed to change to the settings for this recording device to “2 channel 16 bit 44100 Hz”. To do this on my laptop (others may differ slightly): open the Control Panel; from the Sound menu choose Sound Control Panel, then choose Recording. From the Sound pop-up window, select Microphone 2-USB Audio CODEC to open the Microphone Properties, then select the desired 2 channel 16 bit setting from the Default Format panel. Having done that once, I have not needed change it since. Although no software is supplied with the UCA222, the recommended free Audacity is good. It looks a bit daunting at first, but the basics are pretty simple, with an interface similar to a tape recorder. And there are some simple inbuilt tutorials to guide you through some other things you might want to do, such as click removal, channel balancing, track marking, and removing inter-track noise. I was hesitant to buy the UCA222, having read some of the reviews that encountered problems. However, for my needs – recording records via my amp – it’s working superbly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, does it connect ok and work ok with windows 10**
A: Dude, in your DAW you need to state you're recording from Channel 1 or Channel 2 for left or right Channel. In your case, if you put the mic on the left, you put Channel 1. If you chose to record on 1/2, the DAW thinks you're recording left and right Channel with two mics, for stereo recording. That is why you are hearing left only. You're meant to set on the software the Input(Channel 01) so that you can record Mono sound. Then you'll be able to hear this mono sound on both left right ear. Then you can use the reverb function to make it "stereo" like. As for the dynamic mics, if you leave Phantom Power on, it won't matter for the mic. Long as it is not Ribbon mic. 48V power will render any Ribbon mic useless. I hope this helps.

**Q: Does this interface come with the USB power cable?**
A: It only powers it with drivers 5.51 on standby otherwise on Windows 10 22x2 the latest there is an unresolved issue  which Behringer is trying to resolve with Microsoft as it does this on multiple machines its connected too non routing a microphone . I have had two neither function correctly

**Q: Can i record with 2 mics simultaneously? Is the phantom power enough to power 2 mics?**
A: Yes, I have it powering a pair of large-diaphragm phantom-only condenser mics with no difficulty.

**Q: Does this come with asio drivers? (not just asio4all)**
A: I cannot remember if the drivers are in the box, but asio drivers are available from the website

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds the Biz!
*by P***B on 13 October 2011*

Very quick delivery, nicely packaged, what do you get? well it's a very smart piece of tech not as bright a red as in the product pic but more of a burgundy...might be useful info for someone! anyway I plugged it in and it worked.. no messing around, great sound, I got it to hook up my Boss BR 800 and my Alesis M1 Active speakers, all sounding pretty good. I have windows 7 on my pc, now I don't recall the product description saying this wasn't compatable with windows 7...the product is! as I have said it all works well..apart from the bundled Audacity software, which is for Xp and vista...it even say's on the audacity website that it won't work in windows 7, so why they bundle this software is a bit strange, I tried installing it but it kept crashing, after a quick visit to the Audacity website I noticed they have a windows 7 version (beta) not finished but working and available for download, (downloads and installs in seconds) It's quite a nifty programme and for now sorts out my recording and playback requirements. It also comes bundled with Behringer's own DAW, which dodesn't seem to work, and can I get a keyboard hooked up to it?...nope! and when it plays back one if it's demo tracks it sounds distorted. Forget it, use it as a coaster..it also comes with another disc, full of synths and drum sounds, presumably to use in the DAW as I can't see how you use it in Audacity? Main product is good, DAW software, not so good. (not windows 7 compatable
