Bridge the gap between your inspiration and your final production with an interface that delivers pristine audio, flexible connectivity, and rugged reliability.

At the core of the UMC204HD´s superior sound are two world-class, MIDAS-designed microphone preamplifiers. Renowned in the professional audio industry for decades, MIDAS preamps deliver unparalleled warmth, clarity, and low-noise performance, ensuring every vocal nuance and instrumental detail is captured with stunning accuracy. With switchable +48V phantom power, you can confidently use professional-grade studio condenser microphones to achieve truly dynamic and detailed recordings.

Experience true audiophile-grade fidelity with the interface´s high-resolution 24-Bit/192 kHz converters. This incredible digital resolution ensures that your recordings and playback are crystal-clear, capturing a wide dynamic range and allowing you to hear every subtle element of your mix. Whether you´re tracking a delicate acoustic guitar or a powerful vocal performance, the UMC204HD preserves the integrity of the original source, providing results that stand up to commercial studio standards.

The UMC204HD is engineered for ultimate recording convenience with its zero-latency direct monitoring feature. This crucial function allows you to hear your performance in real-time, with no distracting echo or delay, by blending your live input signal with the computer´s playback. A dedicated Mix control knob and a Stereo/Mono switch give you precise control over your monitoring experience, essential for achieving tight, in-the-pocket performances. For even more advanced routing, the powerful headphone output features its own level control and an A/B source select for DJ-style cueing.

Connectivity is where the UMC204HD truly shines. The front panel features two combination XLR/TRS inputs, equipped with individual Pad switches and Instrument/Line selectors, allowing you to plug in microphones, keyboards, guitars, or basses directly. For professional signal processing, it also includes two 1/4" analog Inserts for incorporating external effects like compressors and EQs into your signal chain before they reach the DAW. With its extensive output options, including main L/R outputs on both balanced 1/4" TRS and RCA connectors, plus two additional RCA playback outputs, you can easily connect to studio monitors, PA systems, and DJ mixers.

Built to withstand the rigors of both studio and travel, the UMC204HD features a tough, impact-resistant metal chassis. It’s fully compatible with virtually all popular recording software, including Avid Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Steinberg Cubase, and more, running on Mac OS X and Windows. The BEHRINGER UMC204HD is more than just an interface; it´s a complete, high-definition recording solution in a box.
