Reviewed by Howard W. on B&H Photo Video

I really wanted to like this product and had an upcoming event ideally suited for it. Unfortunately, only Channel 1 worked and I had to return it. The channel that worked sounded fine. I was concerned about Behringer's poor reputation on quality control and had hoped this product's solid construction would be different, but sorry to say it was not.

Well worth it

For a couple of years, I have had a USB audio interface, but with no MIDI. This was one of the best purchases I could have made, as it has re-opened some possibilities for MIDI controllers and some vintage synths that I have. The audio pre-amps were also an upgrade from what I had & I also now have 4 audio inputs instead of 2. Recommended!

Exactly what I needed...

Needed clear sound to send signals to front of house (XLR's out) along with sending sound to amps behind me when playing out. Also running one laptop that is pretty old OS and this box works perfectly (Something more expensive Focusrite Scarlett would not and has less outputs). The 4 input recording works well too, adding 4 more inputs to our 8 inputs already for extra mics on the drums recording.

This item reaches far beyond my expectations. For months my computer recording rig was an old 32 bit PC and I was using the Aardvark Q10 which was very versatile and could handle all I needed for my simple home recording. This Behringer comes very close to that and not many interfaces have all the ins and outs that this one does. For the price it is terrific and crystal clear !

Geez where do i start, computer keeps crashing and blue screening saying "umc.audio.sys failed" i've ran into so many problems with my computer because of this audio interface, had to wipe my computer a couple times thinking that was the issue, maybe i could call the support line right? No i think not, it's an automated voice that tells you to check the support page to find the answers for the questions your looking for? terrible service, i am also using Windows 10 for anyone looking to buy this please don't waste your money

I have recently started recording again after about 10 years. The old devices were clunky, had latency issues, and didn't work well. I previously used a Lexicon Omega. This unit is awesome ! I have recorded a couple of songs already and everything is great. If you need a great interface that won't break your wallet, this is the one to get.

Too many bells and whistles

3 months after I started using it it started clipping even though there was no signal going through it. It totally freaked out. You definitely pay for what you get, so just know if you choose to buy this it won't be nearly as reliable as the more expensive Scarlett. Good warranty tho!

Very impressed with the preamps in this unit. They have plenty of gain and are relatively noiseless in comparison to my previous interface (which was also double the price). Considering the price of all of the U-Phoria series they might be the best starter interface available.

I had a small struggle at the beginning but Behringer helped me understand how to operate it. It comes with a free version of the Tracktion 6 DAW program. The combination of the two is impressive for the low Behringer price.

Nice steel case, everything feels really solid. The drivers have been solid and the latency is low with vsti's lots of IO options and the preamp sound invisible to me. I used to spend over $500 to get this kind of quality.
