Behringer U-PHORIA UM2 Key Features
- 2 × 2 USB Interface with 48 kHz Resolution: The UM2 supports a 2‑input / 2‑output configuration and records at up to 48 kHz, delivering better‑than‑CD audio quality for vocals, instruments and more. This is ideal for project studios, start‑up content creators or anyone who needs a simple, clean way to capture audio.
- Studio‑Grade XENYX Mic Preamp with +48 V Phantom Power: Featuring Behringer’s renowned XENYX microphone preamp in the combo XLR/TRS input, the UM2 allows you to plug in dynamic or condenser mics (with phantom power) for clear, professional‑sounding recordings.
- Dedicated Instrument Input: In addition to mic/line input, there’s a dedicated ¼″ high‑impedance (Hi‑Z) instrument input — perfect for guitars, basses or keyboards without needing a DI box.
- Direct Monitoring & Headphone Output: The UM2 includes a Direct Monitor switch for latency‑free monitoring of your inputs, plus a headphone output with level control and status/clip LEDs for visual monitoring.
- USB Powered and Port‑Friendly: Bus‑powered via USB, the UM2 gets both data and power from your computer, making it ultra‑portable and ideal for mobile setups. No external power supply needed.
- Plug‑and‑Play Compatible: Works with Mac OS X and Windows out of the box, and supports widely used DAWs (such as Avid Pro Tools, Ableton Live and Steinberg Cubase).

Both sampling rates offer better than CD recording quality for professional results.
