Behringer U-Phoria UM2

The U-Phoria UM2 is a USB audio interface that can be used for recording microphones and instruments. The 48 kHz converter provides better sound quality than CD recordings, enabling professional results. Additionally, the USB audio interface is compatible with many well-known recording software programs such as Avid Pro Tools, Ableton Live, and Steinberg Cubase. A free audio recording and editing software is also included with the purchase, along with the option to download 150 instrument plug-ins.

With its 48-volt power supply, even professional condenser microphones can be used for recordings. The U-Phoria UM2 offers a powerful headphone output with level control and a direct monitor selection. The audio interface can be used directly via a computer's USB port, making it portable for use anywhere. The U-Phoria UM2 requires at least Windows XP as the operating system. It also works with Mac OS X or a newer operating system.
