Review on 🎧 Enhance Your Analog Music Experience with Behringer U-Phono UFO202 Audiophile USB/Audio Interface by Trevor Garrett

I am very happy with this Behringer UFO202 audio interface. It works exactly as it should and its price is very low for the quality and functionality it offers. I have already read 151 Revain reviews, and most of them are thoughtful, well-written, and informative. In fact, it was reading previous reviews that made me buy this device. However, I would like to highlight what I feel many reviewers have unfairly downgraded a product for: any resemblance between what says on the box or in the instruction manual, what you GET and what you actually get. , by chance. Вы не получите НИКАКИХ дисков (увидев размер внешней коробки, вы поймете, что диск в нее даже не влезет!), НИКАКОГО "включенного" программного обеспечения и, хотя в инструкции по эксплуатации это Утверждается, что на устройстве есть выход TOSLink , но he is not there. So please just forget promised tools. You won't get them. What you REALLY get is an excellent tool that allows you to create superb digital recordings from any source, including recordings. And to be honest, I think that's enough! So while the labeling on the packaging and the errors in the instructions are totally unforgivable (and definitely should be corrected), the product itself is all of that, in my opinion. makes a difference, and this one, around $40, I think a lot a lot of. The manual says the interface has a 16-bit converter and samples up to 48kHz, but actually you can (and I have) 192kHz (or even higher)-bit (or 32-bit) files create, depending on which software you use. If you already have a USB player and just want to create digital files (which you can play on your computer or create CDs from) from your recordings, you don't need this item. But if you don't have such a player and you want to copy cassettes, as well as vinyl records, 45s, etc., then I think you will be quite happy with this device. Its phono stage ONLY works with turntables that use a moving magnet. cartridges. If you have a ceramic cartridge player, you must use the line level setting on the interface. (There is a small switch that changes the inputs to "phono" - with the appropriate RIAA curve setting - and to "line" which does everything else.) If your player has a moving coil cartridge, you'll need it You put a preamp between the player and the interface. But in most cases, to record vinyl, all you have to do is connect the turntable's RCA outputs to the required inputs on that unit and switch the unit to a phono stage. A grounding cable must also be connected to this interface. Then simply connect the USB cable to your computer. The cable carries audio and provides power to the interface (the green LED lights up when you connect the USB cable). The manual and the box indicate that the device supports the operating systems Windows XP and Windows 2000 (as well as the older Mac system), but this is not complete information. This driverless interface works with ANY computer with ANY operating system, as long as that computer has a USB port. Then use the software of your choice. Since I'm using the GNU/Linux operating system on my computer, I use the Audacity software (which I really like), but there are many other options. I believe there are many options for Windows and Mac computers as well. You may have to do a little searching (there are many on the Behringer website, but I think you can find more and better ones just by doing a normal web search) and then you may have to practice with your software of choice, but I I'm sure the results will be as satisfying for you as they were for me. Note that I strongly recommend that you try "free" software (like Audacity) first; In my experience, free programs are AT LEAST as good as most paid programs, and often better. If you're using free software, the total cost to you is just the price of the device itself (and any necessary cables you'll need to purchase if you don't already have them). But of course you choose whether to use free software or software that you have to pay for. This device just arrived a few days ago; I managed to copy only one LP. But the recording turned out great. I had to do a "test" recording or two to figure out the correct settings in the Audacity program, but connecting and using the Behringer UFO202 itself was fairly easy. Almost anyone could do it. My digital copy of my record sounds EXACTLY like the LP itself. Perhaps a "gold-eared" person COULD distinguish between them, but if the test were double-blind I bet he/she couldn't. I definitely hear no difference! Note that as mentioned above, I created a 24-bit, 192kHz FLAC file from my recording. I have a few other Behringer products: Behringer MICROPHONO PP400 Ultra-Compact Phono Stage, Behringer UCA202 Audio Interface, Behringer UCA222 U-Control USB 2-in/2-out Ultra-Low Latency Audio Interface, Digital Out and Downloadable Software Suite and Behringer HPS3000 Studio Headphones. But I've personally had NO issues with any of my Behringer products, so I've never felt the need to contact Behringer. If you buy their products from Revain like me and have any issues, just contact Revain and they will make an exchange or refund as you wish (they will even arrange for the product to be picked up from your home). if you want) - all free for you. But I've found that with all my Behringer products (and I have six pairs of these headphones) their manufacturing and quality control is absolutely second to none. As well as their designs - and their prices! In closing, if you want to easily create digital files from your vinyl records and/or tapes, I highly recommend you consider this Behringer UFO202 audio interface. . While you can connect a cassette deck's outputs directly to your computer's microphone input, the resulting audio files will generally be worse. And you can't plug a turntable straight into the mic input and expect something good. This device offers you the opportunity to make the music from your records and cassettes available to you in digital form at a reasonable price; Duplication of these digital files merely guarantees that your originals will not be damaged or worn away in the future. Thank you for reading this and considering my opinion. Lawrence H. Balk
