Review Image by Annika T
I have been trying to find a way to connect my old keyboard's audio jack output to my laptop (which won't take inputs in through the mic jack). I'm not super familiar with audio recording and all of the considerations so I was really pleased when this solution worked for me and my needs (just wanted a simple way to record myself playing piano). The interface showed up in my devices as a microphone (I'm in Windows) and while I wasn't able to hear the audio through my laptop speakers/phones in real time as I was hoping, I can use the monitor function of the interface, and the sound records from the interface in an audio program (I just tested with audacity). ... show more

    • Cheap but works great on Macbook Pro
Color: Original Version
Review Image by Can Tang
I'm a musician and plan to use Macbook Pro as a sound library for live performance. Unfortunately using Macbook's own audio driver, I still get a latency of 20ms, which is quite noticeable. I searched on Amazon for a cheap audio interface just to reduce latency because I don't want to bring my $1000 RME interface every time I perform. There are plenty of such interfaces under $100, and then I found this one costing $10. I was very skeptical of what it can do and will it even work, but still made the order. Now I just received and tested it, and it works really well! You can see that the overall latency can be as low as 3.7ms, which for a piano/keyboard player, is basically 0. It's also easy to use and doesn't require any driver installation on the latest MacOS. Btw it's a shame that Apple doesn't optimize the audio latency although Macbooks are popular choices for live performance. There's two small nits: 1. It has fixed USB A connection cable, so I need to use a converter for USB C; 2. There's noticeable noise when volume is turned all the way up. Considering the cost of the interface, these are very minor issues. Update on the noise: I think it was because of headphone impedance mismatch. I was using Audio Technica ATH-M50x which is relatively low impedance. I connected the headphone out directly to my main audio interface and there's no audible noise at all, even at high volume. I highly recommend this interface for people with similar live performance needs! ... show more

    • DON'T BE CONFUSED
Color: Original Version
Behringer makes three similar products with very similar names. This one - the UCA202 - provides line level RCA stereo inputs and line level RCA stereo outputs, a S/PDIF optical output, and a 1/8th inch stereo headphone output with a dedicated level control. There is also a small switch which turns the output monitor on and off (so the audio output doesn't interfere with your headphone listening). The UFO202 includes a turntable pre-amp and a ground. The 222 is identical to the UCA202, but it has a snazzy red cover. To add to the confusion there is an identical UCA202 on Amazon for $10 more. God knows why. I bought this to replace the similar Alesis in/out unit. The Alesis sounded dim, and the input volume control crapped out after four days - one channel was 6dB lower than the other. I sent it back. Based on using the UCA202 constantly for a week, here is my assessment: THE BODY - it is well designed, well thought-out, and well made. It's plastic, but is solidly made. (I wish it had that snazzy red body, though.) I like how the headphone volume control is recessed. I like how the connectors are all gold-plated (unlike the Alesis). I like the strong strain relief on the USB cord (unlike the Alesis). I like the reassuring LED that tells me it is connected to my computer. I like the way the labels are carved into the faceplate - no paint to rub off. I like having an optical digital output. I like the way it is small enough to take along with a laptop. (Gosh. I wish I had a laptop!) THE SOUND - In short, it is fine. My cassettes go right from my premium Nakamichi deck into the computer, I edit the sound and bake a CD from the edit. And I get to bypass the cruddy soundcard in my old Dell (which has the sound quality and signal-to-noise of a six-transistor radio). The limiting factor is the cassette itself - not the analog-to-digital converter in the 202. BTW - I compared two identical classical music recordings made with the Alesis and the UCA202. It was not even close - the Behringer was MUCH clearer and cleaner. I actually erased all the Alesis recordings and redid them through the Behringer, despite all the extra hours it cost me. The difference was THAT big. I am not able to run the 202 directly through my big stereo rig, but it sounds pretty damn good on my $80 Grado headphones. It may not be the ultimate in audio refinement, but it is far more than adequate. For $30 I am a very happy audiophile. UPDATE - It is now plugged into a T-amp and good speakers and it sounds GREAT! UPDATE #2 - The 202 doesn't always sound good with cheap low-impedance headphone. See the end of this review. I have looked long and hard at this product category - the next better unit up the food chain is the Cakewalk UA-1G USB Audio Interface for $90. The rest of the products at that price range ($100-200) include mic inputs, guitar inputs, multiple line inputs, mixers and other things I do not need. And the converters are about the same quality as the Cakewalk's. Several devices will output your computer sound into RCA jacks, but this is one of the only ones that INPUT sound into your computer via RCA jacks. If you want to input (and edit and burn) cassettes, this is your baby! If you want to input LPs you either need a separate phono pre-amp or you go with the Behringer UFO202, which has one built-in. (I have not used it, so I can't comment on it, but Behringer seems to know what they are doing). I'd give the USC 202 5 stars, but .... THE INSTRUCTIONS - They stink. They go off on tangents about other Behringer products you don't need. They do not mention that the speaker in the diagram is a powered speaker. They do not explain that otherwise you need an amplifier to power your speakers. They absolutely do NOT explain how you have to change some parameters in your Windows XP Control Panel. Or what those parameters are. They do not explain that you have to set up your computer's audio recording program (such as Audacity) to input and output through the USB connection. Figuring out all that jazz took me HOURS of research (though it takes only a few minutes to do). That's one star down for pissing me off and delaying me two entire days. Unless you are willing to make a toll call, you reach Behringer tech support via email from their website. It takes a day or two to get an answer, but they are friendly and helpful and honest. THE SOFTWARE - If you read the description, Behringer offers you "tons" of free computer software for your audio files. But don't think you will get some CD-ROM discs. It turns out that you have to download all three from different websites - and you have always been able to download them for free without buying any Behringer products. That's not dishonest or immoral, but it IS skeezy. I'm a very happy camper with this product. If anything changes after a few months, I'll let you all know. ********** UPDATE - One year in and everything is still just fine. Now that I figured out how to set it up (with help from a Behringer tech guy), I'd give it 5 stars for sound. But I won't because I had to email them to make it work. BTW - Please see my answer to the first comment for details about setup. *********** UPDATE #2 - Everything is still working fine, but I found out some new information. 1) The $90-200 devices that input audio into your computer don't actually sound any better than this device. But they come with inputs for mics, guitars, keyboards, guitars and the like. So if that's what you want to do, buy one of them. But if you already own a mixer that does not have a USB connector, just plug that mixer into this device and get on with your recording. 2) A professional audio engineer, NwAvGuy, has measured the 202 to be extremely flat and the noise level to be below audibility. He thought the build quality was good and the electronic circuit implementation was superb. He even liked the cheap headphone volume control. His bottom line: "the Behringer UCA202 line outputs measure very well even for a more expensive DAC." But he notes that the headphone output only works well with high impedance headphones (like a pro would use). Cheap consumer phones that run at 16 or 32 ohms don't sound so good. I have pro phones, so I never noticed it. He'll tell you all about it. NwAvGuy UPDATE - Apparently, Amazon will not let me link to the review. So put "NwAvGuy Behringer" into Google and click on "NwAvGuy: Behringer UCA202 Review", and "NwAvGuy: UCA202 DAC Take 2" for his follow-up. ... show more

Review Image by Scott Bloomquist
I've been a long time user of Behringer equipment, I wish I would have found this 2 years ago when I purchased this other POS. I attached a couple screen shots, this shows frequencies it's not getting. It's vastly better than the last one I purchased. It's not picking up the super low or super high frequencies, granted it's technically above and below our hearing range but not out of our sensory range. Even though technically we can't hear above 17k you can sure hear it when it's not there. If someone is attempting to record vinyl, vinyl doesn't have extended band width, so the range of this is fine. A pro for some a con for me is the pre amp. As a dj I record my shows and my laptop doesn't have any inputs, hence this is why I got this. So I'm putting out some pretty high volume, I have to go into my input settings in my laptop and change the input record level from 100 down to 20, even then it's close to maxing out but it's a pro for everyone else who's not putting out that much volume. I deducted one star for lack of instructions, I had to download a pdf and even it didn't talk about the settings in your computer. When you plug it in it defaults to mono and only the left channel program. You have to select the channels you want and the bit rate. It's easy for me I know all of that. I guess an advantage for the advanced user like me is the ability to select the channels and bit rate depending on what or how you want to record. Most people will select 2 channel, left, right, 16 bit, 44.1k, that's essentially cd quality. I would definitely recommend this piece, Behringer has always been very solid for me. Perhaps not the best you can buy but you can't beat them in their price range. ... show more
