Behringer U-PHORIA UMC22 USB Audio Interface

The Behringer U-PHORIA UMC22 is the most affordable entry XLR audio interface available — the device that allows complete beginners to upgrade from USB microphones to XLR microphone recording for the price of a cinema ticket. The MIDAS-designed preamp is the same preamp circuit found in Behringer's professional mixing desks, providing a transparent audio signal path that belies the UMC22's entry-level price. The 48V phantom power enables condenser microphone use, and the direct monitor function eliminates software latency during recording.
