Review: Very versatile - If you're new to audio interfaces don't be afraid to get this. I had a 2 input interface from a supposedly better brand and had all sorts of problems with crackling and poor quality sound, especially with the playback mix when playing things like YouTube videos. Upgraded to this and all those problems just went away. Plug and play, off we go. For reference I use an M1 Mac Mini. I have 2 synths and a gaming PC plugged in to inputs 3 through 8 and I use the front two inputs for various things from FPGA devices to guitars. I have a Behringher patch bay sat underneath that allows me to override any of these inputs without ever having to mess about in the back of the interface. It works very well indeed and for far less money than some other brands would cost for the same thing. I didn't bother with a rack or anything I just bought two 2U rails that you would fit inside the rack and bolted the two units together. The weight of them joined together holds them steady enough on the desk. Review: Solid and professional piece of equipment - I'm not a professional musician but to me this feels and operates like a professional piece of kit. I have four keyboards in a home set up and previous to acquiring this had been using a two input Presonus audio interface, which meant that I could only use two keyboards in mono or one in stereo at any one time. While I'm not an octopus and able to play four keyboards simultaneously it meant that each time I wanted to play a different keyboard I'd have to keep plugging and unplugging the inputs which was a pain. This solved the problem and allowed me to have four keyboards permanently connected in stereo. However it also allows the versatility of multiple instruments being inputted at the same time, so I'd imagine would be ideal for bands using it in a live set-up. Compared to the Presonus unit which feels 'tinny', this appears heavy and solid with all the knobs and dials having a quality feel to them. So far I've been really impressed with this interface, and for the price would consider it to be a bargain. Highly recommended. ## Features - MIDAS-Designed Mic Preamps: 8 transparent mic preamps with +48V phantom power for professional-grade recordings. - 24-Bit/96 kHz Audio Quality: High-resolution converters deliver studio-grade sound for precise audio capture. - Comprehensive Connectivity: 18 inputs and 20 outputs, including MIDI, ADAT, and S/PDIF, for versatile recording setups. - Zero-Latency Monitoring: Dual headphone outputs with independent level controls for real-time, lag-free monitoring. - Expandable via ADAT: Connect additional preamps for up to 16 channels, ideal for multi-mic setups like full bands. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01ET9GCGS | | Audio Input | Audio interfaces, microphones | | Best Sellers Rank | 180 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 4 in Computer Audio Interfaces | | Brand | Behringer | | Brand Name | Behringer | | Compatible Devices | Devices with USB port, such as desktops, laptops and some digital audio devices | | Compatible devices | Devices with USB port, such as desktops, laptops and some digital audio devices | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connectivity technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 546 Reviews | | Frequency Response | 48 KHz | | Frequency response | 48 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00748252152145, 04033653170918 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 17.4D x 9.6W x 61.4H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Audio Interfaces | | Item Weight | 1.8 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Music Tribe | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Commercial musical group BM LTD 17A Brunswick Street, Hamilton HM 10, Bermuda | | Manufacturer Part Number | P0B2J | | Maximum Sample Rate | 96 KHz | | Model Number | UMC1820 | | Number of Channels | 38 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of channels | 38 | | Operating System | Windows, macOS | | Product Warranty | Please refer to http://www.

If so, why even bother? <_<** A: I got mine in about a week. **Q: How many channels/tracks will this record simultaneously in a DAW, please?** A: You can record eight tracks simultaneously with this. You can buy another behringer pre-amp and connect via TOSLINK to boost it up to 16. **Q: Can 1/4 inch jack leads fit into this product? Or is it not designed for recording electric guitars/basses?** A: This Q&A is not for the UMC1820. For info, the UMC1820 has 8 combination XLR/TRS inputs. **Q: Does this work on macos high sierra?** A: Yes. Any version of mac-os from 10.6 (snow leopard) is supported. I have one of these, don't regret it for a minute. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very versatile *by M***N on 28 May 2022* If you're new to audio interfaces don't be afraid to get this.

I use it to take 8 analogue track outputs from my multitrack tape recorder (Fostex R8) straight into my DAW (Reaper). I can then edit the tracks to my hearts content. Such a cool unit for such a low price..perfect for me. Well built with good support should you need it. Highly recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - Behringer U-Phoria UMC1820 USB Audio Interface (UMC1820d1) - Behringer ADA8200 Microphone Preamp --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48051706-behringer-u-phoria-umc1820-usb-audio-interface-with-midas-preamps](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48051706-behringer-u-phoria-umc1820-usb-audio-interface-with-midas-preamps) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
