That’s why we’re kicking it up a notch with the amazing UMC22, an ultra-compact 2x2, 48 kHz USB audio interface with a professional-grade Midas-designed mic preamp, combination XLR/ TRS input for your vocal or line input and an additional ¼" instrument input (no DI box required). The rich feature set – which also boasts a powerful phones output for direct monitoring of your session, plus 2 outputs and USB-supplied power – makes the UMC22 the best, and most-portable recording interface in its class!

Review: Great Sound Audio Interface That’s Easy to Use - 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.
Review: Gets the job done on a budget. - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How well does this interface perform in regards to latency?**
A: Since this interface has a DIRECT MONITOR option in the front you can hear what is being fed into the audio interface with almost 0 latency, but if you are not using the direct monitor option and only using a headphone in your audio jack/USB in your computer you will experience latency.

**Q: Will it support ios on ipad pro?**
A: Because I'm not an Apple owner (PC guy), I had to go look for an answer for you.  I found a video on connecting Behringer to an Apple tablet.  Here is the link.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ4xwFtm2fY    Upon searching, I found another video on connecting a Behringer Audio Interface to and Apple.  Here is the link.  I hope that this helps.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HepAI-UT-6I

**Q: What is the max bit/ kHz recording rate? Thanks.**
A: The inputs only record at 16-bit.  It can record in either 44.1kHz or 48kHz.

**Q: Can I connect my Krk Rokit 5's to this audio interface?**
A: There are 1/4 inch outputs on the back of the audio interface so, yes.  I have mine running to my Yamaha HS5's via 1/4 inch to XLR cables.  Hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice entry level interface.
*by S***L on August 16, 2025*

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...
