Review on BEHRINGER UM2 Audio Interface with XLR/TRS, 1/4", USB, and RCA – Black, 1-Channel by Bhavin Kokani ᠌

I took a friend to test for wine 10, the driver is asio4all 22022. I myself have a Focusrite Solo 2nd gen, so there is something to compare. Let's start with the most serious minus - delays. The driver manages to set the buffer size to only 256 samples so that the sound does not break. And these 23 ms for processing are felt too clearly to be able to record vocals normally. On the guitar, this is already less noticeable, and it is relatively comfortable to play, . . if you do not pay attention to background noise, of course. This is precisely the shortcoming of the card itself, since it does not depend on emulation, or on the program, or on the guitar or card's knobs, and grows only with an increase in the overall volume. It's a constant noise, and it doesn't feel like a side effect of amplification, but like something else. But, by the way, if you plug in the bass, then this drawback is almost inaudible. The sound in the headphones is quite good, but it can be harsh at high frequencies. My UM2 phantom-powered AT2022 microphone swung without problems, speech and vocals came out clear and intelligible. Total, for 3000. we get a card that produces sound better than the built-in one, allows you to record a voice of a sufficiently high resolution and play around with guitar emulation. And for the money the quality is quite adequate. I think the interface is suitable for beginners and poor students, but I will not recommend it. Rather than put up with all the shortcomings, it is better to save up for something more decent. But, of course, it's better to come to the store and test it yourself)
