For clipping or peaking, there is a separate LED for every input, which is something uncommon as most interface use only one LED per channel. What is more, there is a LED placed on the interface for every input, which indicates the signal of the sound inserted during the recording or the playback. Having an instrument input, the interface gives the user the ability to connect loud instruments such as electric guitar or bass directly, without the use of a preamplifier. The four channels mentioned above, all provide the option between XLR and ¼ jacks. The USB output can be used along with other output options, such as MIDI or RCA that the user can find on the particular audio interface.

The Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD uses a DC adapter for power, although it has a USB output. That means that if you choose to turn it on, it will turn on for all four channels, which sometimes you may find inconvenient as it prevents different use for various instruments. On the other hand, the Phantom Power is the same for all four channels. The fact that you can have all those features separately, makes it possible to have more control over each channel.

These channels have dual XLR/TRS connectors, which make the connection of several musical instruments and the multichannel recording as easy as it gets.Īll the input channels mentioned have their own gain knobs, a line or instrument switch and a pad. In order to enhance the user experience, the Behringer Company added four channels to the interface. The interface is mostly black with silver details, which add a professional look to the overall appearance of the unit. It is made of aluminum materials, and as it is very common when it comes to interfaces, the inputs are placed at the front panel, whereas the outputs are placed at the back.īehringer keeps the design and the colors of this model similar to the rest of the U-Phoria series. The design of the UMC404HD is very easy to understand, as it considered standard. This happens mostly because the company decides to keep the controls, inputs and outputs separately, without labeling them into groups like most of the their competitors. The unit itself is fairly large, which is not uncommon for the most audio interface models designed by the Behringer Company. From the first look, you can understand that it is a device built for more than average performance. The Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD is a beautiful audio interface, and can easily outrank any other competing interface of the same price range.
