Behringer U-Phoria UMC22 Review / Test

Today I review the best budget interface I have tested up through today; the Behringer UMC22. I also provide a fix/solution to audio coming out of one speaker / headphone. If you’re on a tight budget and only need a single XLR input, I absolutely recommend this thing.

The method you have for reviewing interfaces is not only very informative but also very consistent which makes it easy to compare different ones, thank you so much.

I'm using this device for DIY loudspeaker measurements for two years and I'm very pleased with the measurement quality, low noise, and robustness.

[ChucktheProphet]

Great channel. The only dude who tells you what you need to hear.

Bought two weeks ago and im in love with it, I was on a budget situation and this interface with nw 8000 saved my life

[Akusticostacos]

Bought this interface, so far really happy with it! Im using it with the neewer nw-800, which had horrible static noise behind it, the preamp in this one fixed the noise, and the overall audio quality improved.

Came for a review, but suddenly got *tingles*
Great concise review, as always!

I've been going through a few of your vids here and I just felt compelled to comment again. Great channel, great vids, you just get it. Concise info, no bullshit intro, and the fuckin TIMESTAMPS. Absolutely unreal quality here, well done.

[efensiemusic]

i bought it a year ago and it has been working like a champ since then (works great on at2020 and zy-201)

[imjody]

Been using my UMC22 now for a good 5+ years, and I love it! 😊Great review video.

[FalconsTech]

I picked this up a week or two ago and love it! I haven't produced anything with my new setup yet, but all of my tests sound great.

[waryen]

Thanks you! I was wondering if this audio interface had computer playback, and you are the only who says that information !

[arlogatsby]

I just bought this interface, and I'm pretty impressed with it, but you definitely do a lot more indepth stuff than I'd test. You da man

[TechBoss]

WOW! This thing is quiet! Dammit! I need two xlr Inputs, i guess i´ll check out your Review of the UMC204HD... Nice Review, thanks!

[aerenh_]

I really trust your reviews. It's my one stop for all device searches. No time waste.

[ElasticoOFCL]

OMG Thanks Bandrew! the audio interface i was looking for!

[songainlover]

I bought this interface last year and did not regret it at all. I still use a dynamic microphone for vocals, but I can't wait to use a condenser mic with the UMC22.

[bruhlukiba]

i have this and it works really good! it's great for the price
-also the metal chassis and better amp is worth the extra 10$ upgrade from um2
(on a side note the control knobs arent loose for me, strange)

[marcthackerwalls]

Great review, thanks. Love that song you played!!

[annissashort]
