A Rock-solid USB Interface with Plentiful I/O

If you need lots of I/O for your home studio, the Behringer U-Phoria UMC1820 USB 2.0 audio interface is worth a look. With 18 inputs and 10 outputs, the U-Phoria UMC1820 gives you plenty of options for connecting your synths and outboard gear. Add eight Midas-designed mic pres and high-resolution 24-bit/96kHz converters to the mix, and you have yourself a complete studio in a box. Not enough I/O? Connect a Behringer ADA8200 to the U-Phoria UMC1820's ADAT input and expand to a total of 16 preamps. Have questions? Give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call, and we'll point you in the right direction!

Ample I/O for extensive connectivity

Behringer UMC 1820 Audio Interface
No drivers,needed for Mac users, Windows drivers are available for download on th Behringer web site. This interface has zero latency,sounds incredibly quiet with no noise or distortion. Absolutely incredible Midas preamps. The ability to expand it's inputs and outputs with the Behringer ADA8200 audio interface with the same high quality using 2 ADAT cables to sync it. I highly recommend these.

Clean and plenty of channels for old guys!
I'm an old guy - retired machinist - songwriter since 1968. I get together with my retired friends once a week and jam. I often record our jams for our YouTube channel. Got by with a 4 channel Tascam US-600, but with more guys could use more channels. Just did our first recording with this Behringer and it may even be cleaner than my Tascam. I will try to post the YouTube link here…. Works great!
Kept dragging my feet
Should've bought this long time ago. Plug-in play.
Amazing sound reproduction, More than just two inputs at a time Quality right out the box.
Shout out to Max my Sweetwater rep Personal knowledge, and willingness to take the time to answer some of my dumb questions.

Sounds amazing!!! Works flawlessly…. I run this along with a motu m4 and a zoom r16, into OBS to stream. I use it just for guitars and drums. Dedicated sources. it's very musical sound….if I could use a word to describe the pre amps. "Round sound". I also run a 4th source (hyperx quadcast). I love having four different audio input captures and this one is fantastic. You cannot go wrong.

Simply Amazing
I have to ask myself how in the heck Behringer has packed this much quality and functionality into this package at this price point. Either they are undercharging, or everybody else in the same market space is overcharging. It has to be one or the other. To have these high quality mic pre's; this number of mic pre's; this number of inputs; this number of outputs; this degree of control and flexibility on each of the inputs as well as globally; this transparency of AD/DA conversion… it simply defies logic, unless they are trying to make a statement about their products in a market that is bent on deifying Focusrite or other popular brands, or, the other brands are simply charging what they can get based on name and reputation. If you want a high quality pro-sumer interface that gives you every bit of quality the other brands do, but with more i/o, BUY THIS. Now, aside from doing what it's supposed to do, my Windows PC recognized it immediately, the latest drivers were easy to find, download, and install, and it integrated seamlessly and perfectly with Studio One 6. I could not be more pleased, especially at this price point. Simply outstanding.
