Behringer U Control UCA202 USB Audio Interface

The Behringer U Control UCA202 USB Audio Interface is a quick and easy upgrade to your sound
Looking for a simple, affordable way to get your music into the digital realm? Or maybe you’d like to connect your computer to an external effects unit or recorder? Want to transfer your old cassette tapes to CD? The fastest, easiest way to get analog audio into your computer is with the U-CONTROL UCA202 Audio Interface.

PC and Mac Ready
This ultra-compact, USB-powered device lets you connect your PC or Mac computer to virtually any piece of audio gear. And the UCA202 requires no special setup or drivers—just plug it in to a free USB port and get busy. Requires Windows XP or 2000 and Mac OS9.0.4 or higher, 10.x or higher.

Versatility
The UCA202 provides two analog mono inputs and outputs (for monitoring), USB connectivity and an additional S/PDIF optical output for direct analog-to-digital conversion. The stereo headphone output features a dedicated level control and lets you listen to both the input and output.

Imagine the possibilities…
When used as a professional interface between a mixing console and your computer, myriad options become available. Some of these might include connecting the UCA202 RCA outputs: to the TAPE INPUT jacks of your mixer; to powered monitors or to the input channels on the mixer. Connecting to the mixer input channels allows you to use the Aux Send feature of your mixer to build an extremely versatile monitor mix for recording sessions. These are just a few of the possibilities; let us know how you use your UCA202.

Tons of free software
To truly get the most out of your UAC202, you will need recording and editing software. So, we decided to give you lots of free software to choose from.

Subject:It's the real deal
Quality: The quality stands out for such a cheap audio interface.
Features: Not too many but the connection types are adequate for the price.
Ease of Use: Very easy to setup.If you want to use timecode vinyl in virtual dj you can download the asio4all driver and use both of them simultaneously with real low latency yet not sacrificing the quality.
Value: Come on people buyout AMS stock because this is a giveaway.How many can recall buying a audio interface which is asio2 compatible and is virtually driver less.
Appearance: Pretty great I have to say,with the nice black and beige finish which blends with my ps -121x mixer.I bought two of these babies from AMS.

Subject:BANG FOR BUCK!!!!
Quality: I just got it so I don't know how durable it is but it seems like it's built well.
Features: It does what it says it does on the manual. for the price, you can't ask for more although it would have been nice if it had quarter inch inputs.
Ease of Use: Plug and play. I didn't have anyproblem with mine. But this could be due to the fact that I already have the necessary drivers installed from other recording equipment. It might be more troublesome for other people...I'm not sure...
Value: $30 for this is great. GREAT! Everyone(including non-musicians) that has a pc/laptop with stock soundcard should get it. It improves the sound quality quite a bit.
Appearance: case is plastic, but it does not look cheap. very nice looking.

Subject:Behringer Does it Again!
Quality: This unit is well made with strong features and online support. I expect to get much use. The metal housing gives a sense of security. I'm not afraid to connect and disconnect. Not fragile at all. I use a little Di-Electric grease on all of my connectors to cut down on friction when removing RCA plugs.
Features: The best features include the headphone input and volume control. The optical output is also a plus. A big step up from the original U-Control unit.
Ease of Use: Plug in and use! In doesn't get any better than that. When creating new music you don't need lengthy setups which can kill the mood. I was working within minutes the first day and since then turn on the PC and record.
Value: The metal housing alone makes the unit a great value. Then all of the features and Behringer quality put the icing on the cake.
Appearance: This unit looks more expensive than it costs. My drummer asked how much it cost and when I told him, he thought I was joking.

QUALITY:
The Behringer uca202 is a very reliable little interface. It may be lacking a little in the durability area though. After repeated plugging and unplugging, the headphone jack on mine makes a little cracking noise if the cord plugged into it is wiggled around alot. Not that severe, doesn't really bother me at all since I just leave it there. The rest of it is solid, though.

FEATURES:
I love the separate headphone output and its volume control, which are both very handy.

EASE OF USE:
So easy. So simple. Plug and play. No drivers needed. It works.

VALUE:
Can't imagine a better interface out there for 30 bucks.

SOUND:
To record, I run the main outs of my mixer (a Behringer Eurorack MX2004A) through the UCA202 into Windows XP running Audacity. I don't hear any noise problems whatsoever, sound is very crisp and clean.
