Review: Perfect for transferring analogue tracks. - This is an excellent unit that works extremely well for the function I needed. 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. Review: Good - Great device! Nice sound quality and construction. The umc1820 is actually 8 inputs and 10 outputs - not 18x20 as advertised - you have to buy another ADAT compatible interface to bump it up to 18x20 - some really sneaky false advertising there - not impressed with that. It wouldn't work properly on a 5m usb cable - dropouts, pops and cracks because of the higher data rate across that length, works fine on a 2m cable tho. Recommended if you're aware it's 8x10! ## 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 | 104 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 3 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 538 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 | Behringer | | 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 channels | 38 | | Operating System | Windows, macOS | | Product Warranty | Please refer to http://www.

Recommended if you're aware it's 8x10! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very versatile *by M***N on 28 May 2022* 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. ## 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.ph/products/48051706-behringer-u-phoria-umc1820-usb-audio-interface-with-midas-preamps](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/48051706-behringer-u-phoria-umc1820-usb-audio-interface-with-midas-preamps) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
