Ha sido mi solucin por excelencia para grabar voces e instrumentos.
Fcil de usar, aun con los detalles de escuchar el Direct monitor en estreo y escucharlo en un auricular solamente. Ya sea la entrada uno en la izquierda y la entrada dos en la derecha.
Esto es bueno pero tambin una desventaja nada importante que puedes utilizar a tu favor.
Realmente satisfecho con la calidad de la interfaz y de su cable.
Muy recomendable para empezar. Fcil de instalar y de configurar con Ableton.
This is an excellent digital audio interface for XLR mics. It could cost twice as much and still be a good deal. Build quality is great. Sound is excellent. They even have some helpful videos on setting it up. Its only drawback is USB 2 and the old fashioned USB B connectorbut I can live with that, and I am certain it does not effect the sound. I would recommend investing in a DJ quality USB B to C cable, made for audio.
En effet, en fonction de ceux-ci, les niveaux de distorsion sur H2 et H3 mesur avec AudioTester 3.0 sont respectivement de -110 dB et -97 dB trs faible niveau d’entre mais se dgradent trs vite plus haut niveau avant mme que le tmoin CLIP ne s’allume.
D’un autre ct, pour le prix, ce n’est pas si mal.
Material de calidad precio . Espero que aporte lo que espero al.home studio
Je l’utilise pour mon micro et faire des stream sur twitch : alexuss_SUS et cela fonctionne trs bien le son est clai
Es muy buen producto y de construccin robusta. Muy recomendable.
Si pu chiedere una scheda audio ad alta frequenza di campionamento, con preamplificatori silenziosi e direct monitoring a meno di 100? A quanto pare s! A 88 questa interfaccia un vero affare, l’ho presa a occhi chiusi perch gi possedevo la sorella maggiore umc1820 per lavoro in studio. Questa piccolina invece la utilizzo per pilotare due microfoni che utilizzo in delle dirette Twitch. Assolutamente silenziosa e dall’ottima qualit audio, anche i driver e la connessione non danno nessun problema. Consigliatissima!
Tirando isso, peguei num custo-benefcio incrvel! Em breve trocarei para uma de qualidade melhor, vulgo Scarlett Solo 3GN
Listen, whether it be podcast, music production or paperweight. This right here will solve your problems for $70 great deal, super solid product!
J’ai achet cette ampli pour y connecter mes Dunu Titan S et un Blue BlueBird SL, trs bonne interface audio, elle est faite essentiellement de plastique avec les connecteurs en mtal et donc trs lgre mais ppur une cinquentaine d’euro, en dehors de la qualite de construction la performance est au rendez vous.
Compar une Scarlett Solo, aucune diffrence de son n’est audible.
J’enlve l’toile pour la qualite de construction mais le reste est pratiquement parfait.
This thing works great! Controlling clipping and managing a 2 channel audio source in preproduction is awesome. Great product for the price!
I’m new to audio equipment and done some research to see what would work best for my budget.
This is my first audio interface, and it was well worth the money.
Before putting in the audio interface, I made sure that my personal PC was turned off to avoid any complications with the drivers. I had a few troubles with the setup because I don’t know much about this equipment, but I learnt a lot over that time. It only took one hour.
Pros:
– Solid structure with a full metal body.
– The knobs are quite smooth, and the feel is great.
– The microphone quality is very good.
– It sounds amazing through my headphones.
– Reasonably priced!
Cons:
– The unit I received had a large scratch on the DIRECT MONITOR and PHONES area. I didn’t expect to receive damages on a new product.
– No mono button. (This can easily be work around with software like VOICEMEETER Banana or Equalizer APO. There are numerous tutorials available online that will assist you, and they are not overly complicated.)
Ideal para comenzar, es una gran relacin precio calidad y muy buena
This is my 3rd guitar interface and best in terms of recording guitar performance videos and online latency.
Solid bang for the buck-easy to setup in Win11.
Cons: Small knobs are a bit hard to access and I have to move my guitar cable to see what I am tweaking.
Interfaz de audio muy buena, la relacin calidad-precio es estupenda, fcil de instalar y con varias opciones para conectar tanto instrumentos, micros, monitores de audio, consolas-mezcladores…un producto recomendable.
Sounds better than Focusrite. Drives DT770pro 80ohm much better than FR. Costs half the price.
Una ottima interfaccia audio esterna, con 2 ingressi con connettore combo xlr/jack (con possibilit di alimentazione phantom 48v) e due uscite jack. Si alimenta dalla USB e nn necessit di alimentatori esterni. Il Mac la vede subito senza problemi senza bisogno di installare driver, presumo che sia cos anche per i pc Windows. Campiona fino a 192KHz/24bit, la scheda pi economica della concorrenza costa il doppio. Da quando Behringer ha acquisito Midas I preamplificatori sono di livello pi che decente, niente a che vedere con i pre di schede da studio ma si sta parlando di una frazione del prezzo di queste ultime. Chiaramente se lo scopi dell’acquisto registrare musica in studio o fare concerti allora ci sono marchi sicuramente superiori (e costi decisamente molto superiori), ma se il target uno streaming di qualit, o registrare audio per lavori che non necessitano di hardware esoterico allora un oggetto da considerare seriamente. Personalmente la uso con soddisfazione per streaming, speakeraggi, videoconferenze.
I’m not using it for music, despite that being its intended application, so I can’t comment on the sound quality. I needed a unit with a 192 kb/s sampling rate, and a broad-band mic preamp. The UMC202HD
gave me that, and much more! I’m using it in my Amateur Radio hobby, and I have recommended it to others “hams”, as we’re also known as. Buy one and see for yourself.
It works pretty well, the preamps are nice, just the phones output when reaching high signal level will distortion, but it’s ok, for now I didn’t need that high volume
for the price its impossible to buy better. I have recorded a few albums using this and I am very picky when it comes to sound.
If you dont consider yourself a pro but you want a polished near pro recording then you cant go wrong with this. No issues on windows 10 whatsoever and the driver lets you tweak your settings further.
It gets a solid 10/10 from me…..easily.
Really love it.
Being a new user of these devices, I cannot compare to other manufacturers,but it does what it’s supposed to and is easy to use. The design is nice too
Does everything you want it to and more (any Rocksmith PC players know they could use this instead of an RTC?)
Sturdy little cuboid, no issues so far!
Es un producto muy verstil, que cumple muy bien con lo que pretende hacer. En nuestro caso la hemos puesto a prueba con grabacin de podcast, transmisin en vivo de presentaciones de libro y neta ha jalado todo perfecto.
First USB interface for me, I’ve used plenty of firewire ones though.
Pros:
– It got picked up immediately on win 11 with an Ms driver from April. I installed the Behringer drivers anyway and after reboot the device had to be reconnected but no other issues were observed. After installing that driver I was able to change the buffer size (default win 11 driver had no obvious way to do so but you could probably do it thru the DAW that you use) .
– Unit sounds great. No obvious hiss or interference I’ve heard.
– Built well, knobs feel like they have some heft.
-USB cable it comes with is long
– low latency (if your computer specs support it)
– Well priced
Meh:
-No mix down to mono button (the 204 has that). This means that monitoring the inputs from the unit would result in input 1 being in the left ear and input 2 being in the right ear. This does not impact recording (in your DAW/OBS/Whatever app you use you can either mix down to mono or track two separate tracks and simply pan them as you wish). Supposedly there’s a way to do this using drivers but I haven’t found a way to do it.
Cons:
– Came with scratched face plate ( see pics). Kind of sucks as I paid for the new unit.
Bought this a while ago. still working no problems . it was easy to install . Excellent sound quality Good for music production and any basic studio
This is a great budget audio interface. I bought it the replace a very old alesis io2 which had started to crackle.
Setup in CuBase Pro 11 was quick and painless (once drivers downloaded). ASIO latency for vst instruments is great (getting around 8ms on a 256 buffer size)
Sound quality is great, no background noise that I can detect. Recommended
Great build quality and good sound. Super easy to use at a fantastic price, what more could you want?
Product was simple to install and gives excellent sound quality. Lights confirm presents of signal and power.
I had mine for a good year (maybe two). It’s very good for the money, flawed but usable.
Pros: You can produce high fidelity music, record, listen back through headphones and monitors, it does all it says. It’s great overall, very useful.
Flaws: A little glitchy, and sometimes in a way that interferes with the recording quality. Could just be my laptop, but wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t. It’s mostly fine, but occasionally it’s not *shrugs*. It’s great, awesome even but not perfect.
For the price though? Absolutely fine.
Non mi aspettavo alta qualit professionale, per trovo questa scheda adatta a sistemi “home”, e molto, sia chiaro, dipende dal resto dell’hardware e software che si possiede.
I was a bit nervous about buying this interface as it is way cheaper than ‘market leaders’. Nevertheless I went for it and I’m glad I did.
The sound quality is excellent – no glitches or artefacts. It was just a matter of plug and play.
Couldn’t have asked for, or expected better.
Not much to say, you get what you pay for, its good for this price and works without any hassle. thank you
This has been a great peice of kit but for some strange reason the microphone will not work with windows 11 and there has been no driver up date for this either yet. Audio works great.
Fantastic audio interface that has a solid, clean sound. Lots of inputs and outputs and even has a feedback loop built in for re-streaming.
The buffer size could be better, as you only can select between 1-6 and not actually 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 etc
Also, can’t figure out how to get loopback to work.
I bought this to enable me to stream my DJ sets. It works great. But the instructions are very sketchy, it takes a while to work out what all the buttons do. Tricky for a novice like me.
Best bit of music tech I have ever bought. Works straight out of the box, no residual noise, and works beautifully with Adobe Audition on my iMac. Cheap as chips too!
I bought this interface primarily for use with Jamulus to jam online. Overall, it performs decently, but whether it’s a driver issue or something else, I still seem to have a lot of popping and sound quality issues jamming online. I tested a friend’s Rubix22 on my home network and it seemed to perform much better. I think that this is a decent interface, but in my case, there is something that seems to be a bit amiss.
Got this for use with a SHURE SM7B for a streaming set up, much cheaper than other options and works like a charm.
Product was shipped and delivered very fast.
The interface connected seamless to my Mac and was recognized by Garage band seamlessly with no issue.
The interface is well constructed the knobs and selector switches are of high quality and durability. So far there have been no issues and the interface has a high sampling rate 192 KHz, and 24 bit resolution at a reasonable price when compared to competitors what is not to like?
