Behringer U-Phoria UMC-202HD and UMC-204HD USB 2.0 Audio Interface Review

Behringer U-Phoria UMC-202HD USB 2.0 Audio Interface

This is the cheapest and finest branded audio interface out there on the market. I've been using this for 3 months (UMC202HD) and I recommended to those student/musicians who are currently studying music or interested in making music using Logic Pro X or FL Studio 12 or any recording sound usage. I guaranteed you may buckle up this product. I just sat at home and gear up my laptop, keyboard or guitar (available to any musical instrument) and the audio Interface. It's portable and compacted in size and lightweight, vintage-analog-modern-looked design and go anywhere with it if necessary. and runs zero latency. Now, this is where you'll dilemma to choose which Behringer audio interface is right or the best for you.

Like I said before, this is the cheapest Brand audio interface I ever surveyed. In terms of prices, BUT I bought this product UMC202HD before for around RM410 (105 USD) from local music store and this is quite an expensive for me as what brings shock later, I could have BEHRINGER U-PHORIA 204HD for RM312+ from amazon (79.95 USD). So, what is so special about these UMC202HD and UMC204HD. Obviously, there are really different between both interface and easy to distinguish them. UMC202HD is just a standard audio interface comes along with standard feature. While UMC204HD contain some external features, for instance RCA audio output/playback output, main output, insert connection and MIDI IN and MIDI OUT.

You can tell the picture above the differences between both interface. Like I said, I get my UMC202HD for RM410 while you could have UMC204HD for around like RM312. That is the smartest from what I can tell. Obviously, you lose nothing from buying Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD. Based on my experience, sometimes it depends on the product quality from where you survey. If the product cheaper than its usual price out there doesn't mean the quality is medium.
