Great piece of kit!
Used for adding overhead condenser mics and occasional radio mics into our home Zoom church meeting. Two PTZ cameras into an Atem mini video mixer; usb from Behringer UMC1820 and usb from Atem mini straight into MacBook Pro; crystal clear Video and clean accurate Audio. Highly recommended.
Molto buona
Suona molto bene e facile da usare. Molto apprezzato il prodotto e si usa bene anche con ableton.
Sorprendente
NEl dover cambiare la scheda Audio (prestata da un amico) mi sono imbattuto in una marea di prodotti. Volevo qualcosa di affidabile am che non costasse troppo, come al solito. Quindi mi sono deciso di fare un tentativo con questa scheda di Behringer. mettere alla prova entrambi e capire se ne vale la pena o cambiarla, visto comunque che si tratta di uno studio in casa.
Sono rimasto piacevolmente SORPRESO, per la qualit del materiale con cui stata costruita ed assemblata, la resa in termini di registrazione ed il fatto che il suono risulta, fino ad ora, sempre pulito e di qualit ottima.
Sono proprio contento di aver osato.
Qualit/prezzo…. decisamente vantaggioso.
Se nota que el producto es de calidad, el precio es fantástico.
Es una interfaz de lo ms verstil, la tecnologia s un poco antigua, pero no est obsoleta. Sin duda! El precio est por debajo de las posibilidades que este equipo tiene. Totalmente recomendable.
Excelente Custo x Benefício
Paguei um preo timo (para os padres de Brasil) na interface. Pelo que custa, em relao s outras interfaces, entrega um desempenho bem interessante e viabiliza a gravao de tima qualidade. Recomendo.
Rapporto qualità prezzo INDISCUTIBILE!!!
Non c’ molto da aggiungere, rapporto qualit prezzo senza eguali! Ovviamente non una RME o una UAD, ma per gestire sequenze e playback e indirizzare segnali audio esterni separati pi che sufficiente!
Volume cuffie assolutamente soddisfacente, latenza sorprendente, in senso positivo, per il costo.
Perfecto para baterias y grabaciones semiprofesionales
No tiene grandes funciones ni parmetros, de momento todo funciona perfecto, me falta por probar las entradas spdif y adat, pero creo que se adaptara bie
Ottima scheda entry
Fantastica per chi non pretende di avere uno studio da 500.000 euro.
Quqlity item on low price
Uaing for my main studio of Radio station. Working perfect.
Affordable, studio worthy, all the features
A nice bit of kit. Plenty of inputs (and loads of outputs too!), and pretty easy to use. It has pretty much all the bells and whistles of the more expensive interfaces but at a very good price point. I also very much like the on/off button. Very handy!
Do be careful of the monitoring knob! That’ll need to be turned fully right to listen back to anything. That caught me out, and I was convinced that my interface wasn’t working, but I just had the monitoring knob set to listen to my inputs.
Buona qualità
Interfaccia audio, a mio parere, con rapporto qualit prezzo favoloso. Ho provato prima di questa un’interfaccia molto pi blasonata (e costosa) ma non mi sono trovato bene, oltretutto era provvista di solo 4 entrate. Questa interfaccia molto versatile per qualsiasi tipo di input (ben 8) con varie possibilit di ingresso (linea o strumento, con attenuatore e gestione separata per alimentazione microfono 48v (4×2). Possibilit di espansione con SPIDIF e 2 ingressi cuffia gestibili separatamente con gruppi di input diversi. Preamp MIDAS molto silenziosi e con un buon guadagno, graduali con Led verde e rosso per il clip. Manopole di buon materiale con rotazione molto fluida. Al prezzo per cui viene venduto un affare. Consigliato
Awesome sound and value
Brilliant audio interface. 8 analog ins and outs out of the box with ADAT upgradeability. If you need more ins, get the ADA8200 for 8 more ins and outs for a great sounding 16 channel interface at an amazing price.
Excellent value but convertors are not good
Excellent functionality, plenty of inputs and outputs, but the sound quality is lacking severely. Upgraded to an Audient interface after a while and the difference is night and day – could instantly tell how much detail I was missing out on with the Behringer. However, for the price, this is still a great interface. You aren’t getting something entirely professional sounding, but it’s great if you’re on a budget and need to track a lot of mics / instruments.
Interfaccia USB espandibile per DAW professionale
Ottima interfaccia audio USB per studi di registrazione ed artisti/tecnici con piccolo studio domestico.
Premetto che non ho ancora testato la funzione di espansione ADAT, pur disponendo di una interfaccia “slave” della Focusrite.
Ma comunque, gi nativamente dispone di tanti ingressi e tante uscite che ci si pu sbizzarrire nella realizzazione di registrazioni professionali ad alta qualit (24 bit su 96 kHz) in multitraccia, con un costo decisamente accessibile per chi parte da budget ridotti ed intende allestire una macchina da guerra per fare musica…
Ottimo!
Ottimo prodotto e molto versatile.
Prezzo da abbassare un po’.
perfetta
Ammetto di essere alle prime armi ma oltre alle ottime recensioni viste da gente pi esperta su Youtube posso dire che la qualit del suono ottima e che la latenza nulla. Su Mac non ho avuto bisogno di driver o installazioni del genere, collegata e pronta all’uso.
Si installa senza driver su mac e pc, non ha quei fastidiosi software tipo mixer virtuali, ecc (ho avuto ahim universal audio apollo da 2000, focusrite, motu, m-audio, ecc. ) Finalmente ho trovato la meglio periferica per home studio anche “avanzato”. Interfaccia dedicata a chi non segue le mode (ci sono passato pure io purtroppo). Concludendo, se sei tra lo 0,5% di persone che riescono a capire che i problemi al mix derivano dalla scheda, allora scegline un’altra pi “performante” o vai in uno studio pro (ma ste cose tanto gi le saprai…). Tutti gli altri, ovvero il 99,5%, possono prenderla a mani basse che i “problemi” nei loro mix mix non sono dovuti alla scheda. Accettate il consiglio. Tom ; )
Schönes Home-Recording-Interface
Habe mir das Gert aus 2 Grnden gekauft:
– Einfaches Homerecording (man bekommt die Software Tracktion bei Produktregistrierung dazu)
– ADAT-Interface fr meine alte Recording-Station und Digital-Mischpult.
Das Interface ist einfach und logisch aufgebaut, die Anleitung ist zwar einfach, aber viel muss man da nicht wissen.
Das Interface hat eine ganz gute Qualitt, fr den Preis kann man sicher nicht mehr verlangen. Aufnahmen gelingen nach etwas bung in guter Qualitt und richtiger Aussteuerung, fr einfache Zwecke benutze ich VB Voicemeeter Banana von VB-Audio (z.B. fr Online-Lagerfeuersingen in Corona-Zeiten), damit hat man auch fr mehrere Instrumente und Mikros ausreichende Kapazitt. Die Phantomspeisung lsst sich in 2 Blcken fr jeweils 4 Eingnge aktivieren.
Der ADAT-Eingang funktioniert problemlos, damit konnte ich meine alten 8-Spur-Aufnahmen auf der Festplatte meines alten Fostex-Rekorders auf den PC kopieren.
Einziges Manko, das aber alle Gerte haben: Grundfarbe schwarz und dnne, weie Schrift. Wenn es nicht sehr hell ist, braucht man eine Taschenlampe, um berhaupt eine Beschriftung lesen zu knnen. Und die Nummr der Regler oberhalb der Knpfe wrde das Ablesen viel einfacher machen, da es doch meistens so tief eingebaut ist, dass der Regler die Bezeichnung verdeckt.
Muy top
Muy top!si tienes mac es enchufar y grabar.
De sonido no tiene nada que envidiar a otros AI con ms renombre y ms caros.
ottima
peccato per la consegna avvenuta in ritardo a causa del periodo, tra addebiti e riaccrediti, 8 transazioni, ma l’oggetto fantastico.
Solid and professional piece of equipme
I’m not a professional musician but to me this feels and operates like a professional piece of kit.
I have four keyboards in a home set up and previous to acquiring this had been using a two input Presonus audio interface, which meant that I could only use two keyboards in mono or one in stereo at any one time.
While I’m not an octopus and able to play four keyboards simultaneously it meant that each time I wanted to play a different keyboard I’d have to keep plugging and unplugging the inputs which was a pain.
This solved the problem and allowed me to have four keyboards permanently connected in stereo.
However it also allows the versatility of multiple instruments being inputted at the same time, so I’d imagine would be ideal for bands using it in a live set-up. Compared to the Presonus unit which feels ‘tinny’, this appears heavy and solid with all the knobs and dials having a quality feel to them.
So far I’ve been really impressed with this interface, and for the price would consider it to be a bargain.
Highly recommended.
Con Kemper Profiling FUNZIONA PERFETTAMENTE
Ormai da anni il marchio behringer si completamente rinnovato. Anche questo prodotto soddisfa pienamente le mie aspettative. Lo uso con OS X Mojave, nessun problema. Lo uso principalmente per la dotazione di input e output spdif in combinazione del Kemper Profiling Amp. SYNC PERFETTO
I’ve used a lot of Behringer gear over the years. Some of it excellent, some did the job and some was awful. Love or hate them though, since Behringer started acquiring some big-name brands, and thus their technology, their products have improved drastically and their reliability is as good as any other, while the prices have stayed reasonable. This interface has surprised me with excellent sound quality for both mic, instrument and line-level sources. The microphone preamps are extremely quiet and clean sounding, every input can be configured as a high-impedance instrument input for guitars and basses, and the headphone amps are plenty loud and will drive difficult loads with ease. It connected to a Mac first time and once configured was up and running in Logic within seconds.
Interfaces at this price tend to be neutral in sound; I.E what goes in is what gets recorded. Some, though certainly not all higher end products have a ‘house sound’ meaning they are tuned to sound a certain way. Few have as many features as you’ll find here however. The other big advantage of this is that it’s class-compliant with its controls all done in hardware, so there’s no software control panel or complicated driver to make impair usability or cause incompatibility down the line.
Why only 4 stars? I couldn’t get the mono switch to work in playback from a PC, though as it’s connected to a PreSonus monitor station this isn’t an issue. There is only 1 main output with a level control so only one set of minors can realistically be used simultaneously, again solved by use of a monitor controller. The midi jacks could have given way to a couple more inputs ore a set of additional XLR output jacks.
But at this price, there’s little than can touch the UMC1820. M-Audio’s AIR192 is probably the closest competitor but it lacks some of the features and is slightly more expensive. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants a fuss-free multi-channel recording interface with a neutral sound, excellent preamps and plenty of versatility.
Good value for money
This is a great audio interface especially for entry level 5.1 production. The downside is that there is precious little instructions on how to use it so much trial and error is required.
Buena forma de grabar en directo 8 tomas independientes de una misma interpretación.
Es funcional, se consigue grabar y reproducir en software multipista 8 pistas de audio + 1 midi independientes simultneamente, durante la interpretacin directa de un tema por varios msicos y con varios instrumentos.
Uso personale di Behringer u-phoria UMC1820
Prodotto pienamente soddisfacente, segnale pulito, caratteristiche professionali.
Sono musicista, e utilizzo questo articolo per ricavare le uscite audio separate dal player Kontakt (Native Instruments), da assegnare le varie tracce raggruppate al mixer oppure Behringer u-phoria UMC1820 – pedal expression – mixer. Consiglio questo prodotto a chi ha le stesse mie esigenze.
Top Preis/Leistung
Man bekommt viel fr sein Geld. Ich finde das Gert Klasse. Man knnte erwhnen, dass es recht warm wird. Also mit einkalkulieren beim Einbau.
Optimale Qualität, guter Klang
Das Interface erfllt alle Erwartungen, einfaches Handling, sehr gute Klangqualitt, hat unter Anderem 2 separat regelbare Kopfhrerausgnge, luft problemlos mit Steinberg Cubase und anderen Soundanwendungen.
Optimale Lsung auch fr EDIUS Videoschnitt. Durch die MIDI Implementierung auch fr ltere Musikinstrumente per DAW verwendbar.
Bomben Interface
Ich habe das Interface erhalten und direkt auf Herz und Nieren getestet. Im Normalfall gebe ich selten Rezensionen ab. Aber dieses Gert ist so gut verarbeitet und klingt so gut, dass ich etwas abgeben muss. Unglaublich, dass man es so gnstig anbieten kann. Vielen Dank an Behringe
I have used a Motu 896 and 8pre for many years and have been very happy with the quality of recording. However, I have just started working on a new project which required me to put together a mobile set-up for some live recording. I would have used the Motu 8pre for this, but my new laptop doesn’t have firewire, so I needed an audio interface with USB connection. After reading many reviews I decided to go for the Behringer U-Phoria UMC1820. For a relatively low price, it offered the same 8 input channels and phantom power supply as I was used to. I was very pleased with the result – easy to set up and nice clean recordings. It also seems to be well built, so I just hope it lasts as well as the Motus.
So weit, so gut.
Alles toll, aber was soll ich mit einem Gert mit englischem Netzstecker?
Ist ziemlich rgerlich wenn man das Teil auspackt und nicht in Betrieb nehmen kann.
Been using this interface for about four months and I have no complaints. Initially used it on a basic 2012 MacBook Pro in conjunction with an ADA8200 feeding the optical input (hence 16 inputs in total), and latency was good – I was working at 128 sample latency without any issues. I’ve just upgraded to a 2017 iMac and am now working fine at 64 sample latency, again without issue.
Sound quality is good enough (my ears are long long past their golden years anyway!)
It’s solidly built (don’t drop it on your foot – it will survive but you will be hopping around exploring the world of expletives!) It would have been better with an internal power supply but you can’t have everything, especially at this price point.
Just to address a point in the other review here, both my Macs only have USB3 ports and it has no issue with them.
Ich habe das Teil wegen seiner vielen Ausgnge gekauft. Ich will die Option auf Surround-Abmischungen haben und da sieht es auf dem Markt mit bezahlbaren Gerten, die qualitativ im Semi/Profi-Bereich unterwegs sind, sehr dnn aus. Fr meine Zwecke kann das Gert alles, was ich brauche. Der Sound ist besser als das, was ich nach einigen Rezensionen erwartet hatte.
I did a great deal of research before deciding on this Audio Interface. It constantly gets good reviews compaired to many others available and it didnt disappoint.
I had some small problems to begin with but I think this was due my inexperience at inputing 8 tracks simultaneously into my DAW. I only had previous knowledge of 2 tracks. Plus I dont think it likes USB3. Always use USB2
The only strange thing about it is that even with the gain control turned to zero I can still hear something through that channel. I was inputting from a multitrack recorder so maybe the output is much higher than you would get from a microphone or guitar. But it was annoying. The only way I could hear individual channels was to shut them off with the DAW. As stated by others you can sometimes get problems finding the driver but this is just a question of restarting your PC. This might seem like a bit of a moan. But these are only small problems as the unit performs great in every way and is well worth the price
