BEHRINGER UM2

An Easy-to-Use, Affordable USB Interface for Mobile Musicians

You won't be exaggerating when you tell your friends that you've experienced U-PHORIA in your personal studio. The Behringer UM2 U-PHORIA USB audio interface offers plenty of punch, power, and value to recording enthusiasts, project studio owners, mobile musicians, and more. 

As a 2-in/2-out interface, the UM2 U-PHORIA is portable and streamlined, providing essential features for recording microphones and instruments: low-latency streaming of 2 inputs and 2 outputs, a phantom-power-supporting mic preamp with an XLR-1/4" combination input, USB for connectivity and power, and a second 1/4-inch instrument input for your guitar or bass. 

Compatibile across the board with both Mac- and Windows-based DAWs, the UM2 U-PHORIA is great for musicians on a budget.

One Solid Mic Pre for Your Home Studio

Work with all the microphones in your closet -- this 2-channel interface sports one of Behringer's MIDAS-designed XENYX XLR preamp with switchable +48V phantom power, allowing you to use professional-grade studio condenser mics, plus record an 1/4" instrument at the same time through the dedicated instrument input. With the UM2 as your DAW's front end, you can capture two channels at a 48 kHz sample rate.

Direct Monitoring Button: Hear Yourself with Zero Latency

This audio interface's Phones output provides a handy monitoring solution complete with its own Level control and Direct Monitor select. Likewise, Status, Signal, and Clip LEDs give you at-a-glance visual confirmation of where you stand with your audio. With this straight-forward interface, you can create killer mixes no matter where you work.

USB Powered for Easy On-The-Go Recording

When connected to a computer, every part of the UM2 U-PHORIA is powered by your computer's USB port, eliminating the need to carry around a power supply when you take your interface on the go.

• The PreSonus Eris E3.5 is a pair of 3.5" 2-way 25W nearfield monitors designed to provide a compact sonic reference system for musicians, producers, and audio engineers in home setups, project studios, and commercial facilities. Each monitor produces a frequency response of 80 Hz to 20 kHz via a 3.5" Kevlar woofer and a 1" silk dome tweeter powered by a 25W class AB amplifier. The monitors can handle 100 dB maximum peak SPL. A rear bass-reflex port provides enhanced low-frequency range.

• For inputs, the monitor system accepts balanced 1/4" TRS, unbalanced 3.5mm, and unbalanced RCA inputs. An integrated 2-band EQ allows you to fine tune the monitors to your listening preference. The EQ controls include ±6 dB gain at 100 Hz and ±6 dB at 10 kHz. A front-panel 3.5mm stereo mini-jack is provided for easy headphone monitoring.

• Each cabinet uses resonance-suppressing internal bracing to optimize the sound output and the amplifiers include RF interference, output-current limiting, over-temperature, transient, and subsonic protection circuits.
