Studio-Quality 24-Bit/192 kHz Recording

Capture every detail of your performance with high-resolution 24-bit/192 kHz converters. From vocals and acoustic instruments to electronic music and video post-production, the UMC204HD delivers the clarity and precision needed for serious recording work.

The high sample-rate capability makes it an excellent choice for users who want more than an entry-level recording interface.

Two Midas-Designed Mic Preamps

At the heart of the UMC204HD are two Midas-designed microphone preamps, giving microphones a clean and detailed signal path before audio reaches your recording software.

With +48V phantom power, you can also connect compatible studio condenser microphones, making the interface suitable for vocal recording, acoustic instruments, podcasting, voice-over work and content creation.

Connect Microphones, Guitars, Keyboards & More

The two combination XLR/TRS inputs give you the flexibility to connect microphones, instruments and line-level equipment.

Record a vocalist and guitar simultaneously, connect a stereo keyboard, capture two microphones or build a compact production setup without needing a large mixer.

Behringer specifically positions the UMC204HD for microphones, guitars, keyboards and MIDI equipment.

Built-In MIDI Connectivity

Unlike many basic audio interfaces, the UMC204HD includes MIDI In and MIDI Out, allowing you to integrate MIDI keyboards, controllers, synthesisers, drum machines and other compatible hardware into your production setup.

This makes the UMC204HD particularly useful for producers who work with both audio and MIDI equipment.

Direct Monitoring Without Distracting Delay

Hear your performance directly while recording using the UMC204HD’s zero-latency direct monitoring functionality.

The dedicated Input/Playback Mix control lets you balance the live input signal against playback coming from your computer, helping musicians create a comfortable monitor mix while recording.

The Stereo/Mono control also gives you greater flexibility when monitoring different source configurations.

Flexible 4-Output Configuration

The UMC204HD goes beyond the conventional 2-in/2-out interface by providing a 2-input/4-output configuration, making it suitable for more advanced monitoring and playback arrangements.

The rear panel provides several analogue playback connection options, while the headphone section includes Monitor A/B selection for additional cueing flexibility. Behringer also includes two analogue insert points for connecting external processors such as compressors, gates and EQ units.

Built for Your Studio — or the Road

The rugged metal chassis makes the UMC204HD suitable for both permanent studio setups and mobile recording rigs.
