Two weeks ago I bought the UMC202HD and the Neewer NW-800 because of your reviews and I can't be more happy with them. I was going to spend more money than the necessary on other products and for the purpose than I'm giving to them, they are perfect. LOTS of THANKS from Spain and sorry for my english if something is wrong written!!

As usual, your ability to present complex info in a user understandable manner makes your reviews outstanding. This is despite (and not because of) your on-line "character" aka the guy who greets earthlings at the beginning of the reviews. When I first started watching your content I was put off by the character but it has always been clear to me that you're a smart guy who takes this stuff seriously. Good onya. Keep it up. Anyway I'm old, quite used to your presentation now and have done enough of my own sound work to respect the way you go about your reviews and formulate your opinions. This video may have been a bit more relevant if you had used a selection of microphones that match the budget projections of users who would look to buy the Behringer interfaces in the first place. I don't think someone who can afford an SM7B would search out either of these interfaces to run it through but it is interesting that neither of the Behringers had enough grunt for the job. I thought the Rode NT1 sounded quite sweet through the devices used here and since I'll never have a Shure SM7B, I don't have to worry about the lack of gain. I wasn't aware that you have an NT1 so I looked up the video right away. I have watched the NT1a video a few times now. As for your question, is the UMC22 worth the extra $20, based on this review, I'd say yes however if I was shopping for an interface, I would buy again what I'm currently using, the Yamaha AG03 even though it's about twice the price of the UMC22. Now regarding more "Versus" series, I've been wondering about the next few microphones up the Rode food chain, the NT1000 and the NT2a. You did something like that with the Audio Technica microphones and that was very informative. All up. Thanks Bandrew and cheers from DownUnder

Donald MacGregor thank you for the kind words Donald. I think you brought up a great point about using microphones that are more fitting with people looking into a budget interface. I would also be interested in working my way up the Rode food chain. Another great suggestion. I have my eyes on an announcement that I think is coming soon which is right up my alley (because I love me some dynamic microphones).
@donaldmacgregor2545
@donaldmacgregor2545 6 жыл бұрын
Cheers for that Andrew. I'm a musician not a podcaster and was not aware of the SM7B's popularity for that purpose nor had I considered the logic-line you're suggesting regarding these interfaces and their gain abilities. That's all fair enough and you've taught me something, thank you. I suppose I just assumed that someone buying a Behringer interface would also be going for a bang-for-buck microphone option so testing the interface with a Rode as Bandrew has done, or the AT2020 (or any of the Chinese mics that are found on the usual websites) is more applicable. Here in Aussie SM7Bs are never cheap no matter where they are found however a used Rode NT1 or NT1a can often be had for less than $150, and Rode is a local brand that takes care of it's customers. I think you've reminded me that there are many angles to consider when looking at reviews and as long as the user ends up with good gear at a fair price, all is well. Too often I've seen people buy something (or not) based on reviews that do not adequately assess the product in it's "natural" or intended use setting. Bandrew's reviews are unusually complete and I did wonder why the SM7B was even in the discussion. Thanks for the useful commentary. Best regards, Don

The UMC22 was my first audio interface (the Focusrite Scarlett never convinced me). I used it really a lot with lots of microphones, mainly the AKG P220 and the Rode Procaster. It never let me down. Recently I changed it for a UR22, which is definitely better built and has a lower noise level with dynamic mics, but with condensers there's no difference between the two products. The UMC22 has even a better headphones output. The one on the UR22 is way lower. I don't generally trust Behringer but with this interface they did a good job.

Excellent presentation and analysis, Bandrew. I presently have the UMC204HD, which is a marked step up from either of the units you compared. You can occasionally find the 204 on sale for perhaps $20 more than the UMC22-the clarity and higher output level make the difference money well spent. Keep up the stellar work!

At this level you have a rudimentary way of getting your mic or instrument into your computer environment. Many people don't need or want anything more. Behringer offers the best interfaces for cost hands down. Now I'm in need of something portable yet expandable to up to 12 XLR inputs, I'm thinking about the foscusrite scarlet 18i8 which could be connected via ADAT to a behringer ADA8200. This gives many options for home recording. Keep up the great reviews!

I really like your reviews and always look for your reviews before purchasing. One comment stated that you should use a budget mic when reviewing budget pre-amps and I agree, I have not seen many pre-amps that can provide enough gain for your go to mic and that's not a fair comparison when using a mic which requires so much gain, no budget pre-amp will ever be able to drive that monster but if you could use a budget mic, for the large percentage of viewers that may be looking for a budget setup that would be far more beneficial and provide a more real world comparison. Thanks

I have the um2 audio interface. Therefore I'll be the first to say, the noise floor really is annoying. However in my case if you found a quiet spot, with little noise your interface performance is pretty good. it's way better than the Irig Pre-amp, which i found to be a waste of my 40 dollars for a portable interface. So what I'm saying here is, it doesn't matter if you get an Apollo or the um2, It's truly all about what works for you, and how well you use it. It's like comparing audacity to Reaper or something. if you're a master at audacity, like I am then it doesn't matter if you did pick up Reaper, since you have more experience with audacity. if this made any sense.

I can see both sides as being good for differing reasons; UM2 more for a basic setup and smaller footprint while the UM22 is, marginally, better in terms of build. One area that I was a bit confused by is the choices in mics used, not being a troll or anything by it though. I realize those are your go to mics for testing interfaces, however in a "budget" item comparision wouldn't you want the mics to be budget as well? I mean honestly if I could afford a Shure sm7b or a Rhode NT1 I doubt highly I would be using a cheaper interface, but that is just me maybe. Again not trying to sound rude or trollish, hopefully what I said makes sense in someway (in my head it makes sense).
@eldest3171
@eldest3171 6 жыл бұрын

I've just started watiching; I'm going to get into some voice acting work and am now researching budget home studio equipment. But this question isn't about the equipment you're reviewing; it's about your room. I've watched about 20 of your videos so far, and I'd love to know how in the world you get such a clean recording of your voice? Your room looks like it should be *very* noisy; you have your computer, lots of audio equipment, stringed instruments that aren't in cases, you move your chair around, etc...but for the most part no hiss or pop or other "bad stuff" comes thru in your videos. How do you do that? Inquiring minds want to know. :-)

Excellent comparisons. One shortcoming of the UMC22 (and I'm guessing the UM2) is that there is no separate volume knob for the monitor/headphones. So If you have the gain set low for a hot condenser mic, you will get hardly any sound in the headphones. And if you have the gain at 100% for a quiet mic like the SM7B, the headphone volume will likewise be 100 per cent -- ouch. There are good use cases for it at this price, but don't count on using the latency-free monitoring. (You might be able to adjust it in your interface, but not on the hardware without affecting the mic's gain.)

I use the UM2 for my dynamic cardioid mic I use for gaming since it’s way better than the headset mics. People in game can hear me clearly now as compared to the Corsair, Plantronics and Razer headsets. I think for this purpose it’s all right to use the UM2 and do a start up podcast. Once you learn the tools of the trade then definitely should upgrade the equipment to something better.

BTW, Bandrew would love your opinion on the UCA-2xx analog to digital converters. So many computers (especially Macs) have gotten rid of analog audio in/out and I've found that this unit (even with RCA connectors. Wish they made it with 1/4-inch TRS style instead) is a good way to get analog signals moving. I've used it to even do mix-minus when I used mixers in the past. Helps to have lots of USB ports though

Hey Bandrew, I was wondering if you have had any driver problems with either of these interfaces. Did you even have to install any driver at all on your Mac?

I just got one on eBay for $40 the person only had it for a year came with original box and USB. I absolutely love this thing. Upgraded from a Tascam us-122 which had old drivers Back to windows XP was able to change compatibility but had issues and wasn't worth dealing with anymore. Wanted to give it away but I'd rather trash it lol. This UMC22 will do way better for my podcast.

I recently got a Behringer UMC404HD, it's pretty good! Build quality looks a tad bit cheaper than my Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 but it has lower latency, sounds as good as the Focusrite and only cost half of the Scarlett.

Never tried the UM2, but had the Behringer 1204 USB mixer with the Xenex pre-amps and in my opinion, they were awful. Needed another pre-amp just to get needy dynamic mics to decent levels without a lot of noise. Switched to the UMC404HD and for me the difference was significant. The UMC202HD same thing. For the money I don't think there's better interfaces than the UMC series.

I have the umc22, with a shitty neewer nw-800 mic. Im thinking of purchasing a better quality microphone, but here is the question: do you think the interface is good enough for a 100+ dollar microphone, or is it just a waste of money? Would i need a more expensive interface to get the worth out of the new mic?

Excellent review. Please have a question: I can't power the UM2 with a USB adapter, it only works when connected to a PC. Is it a property or a defect? I would also like to use the UM2 as a simple mixer before an active speaker.

Hi, i'm thinking about buying an inexpensive interface but i'm worried about wasting the money in the long run and it turning out i should've just saved up for a focusrite scarlett for example. Currently my use would be simply to run my guitar >interface>amp sim or guitar>distortion pedal>cab sim. What do you think/recommend?
