General

The Behringer UMC1820 is a comprehensive audio/MIDI interface that works with 96kHz (24-bit) resolution for professional conversion and audio quality. Thanks to Behringer's collaboration with MIDAS, the UMC1820 has 8 outstanding mic preamps with phantom power for your condenser microphones. The preamps have outstanding headroom and response, and the low-noise components guarantee spotless audio transmission. Furthermore, the 18 inputs and 20 outputs stream to Mac or Windows computers with low latency. The UMC1820 is compatible with all accessible DAWs, including ProTools, Ableton and Cubase.

Control and connectors

There are a number of controls available for recording and playback situations. You have a switchable direct monitoring option, for instance, for a 'clean' incoming audio signal. In addition, there's also a stereo/mono switch and a rotary knob for adjusting the balance between input and playback. Along with analogue connectors, the UMC1820 also has an optical input and output that supports A/PDIF, ADAT and S/MUX up to 96 kHz. Connect the optional Behringer ADA8200 to the ADAT input and you'll have no fewer than 16 MIDAS preamps at your disposal.

Construction

This 18x20 box has a 1U rack size, so it can be easily integrated with multiple models in a professional audio setup. Depending on how you wish to place the UMC1820, you can also remove the rack ears. The interface features a rugged housing that can withstand intensive use, and as a bonus, Behringer offers a recording bundle with 150 instrument and effect plugins online! The UMC1820 offers expansive connectivity and high-quality audio conversion with an amazing price/quality ratio.

This is a great piece of kit. It is class-compliant and works perfectly with iPads and iPhones through the Apple camera connection kit, giving you 8 analog inputs and 10 digital inputs (8 ADAT and SPDIF), along with 20 outputs. All of these are available to the iOS device so your iPad can be the centre of a serious studio. Has 2 Midas preamps that sound very clear to me and latency is imperceptible. Also has MIDI I/O that also works just fine with the iPad. It would be nice if it had an iOS app for adjusting levels and ADAT routing, but that can be done through a 3rd party mixer app - I use it with AUM.

Zeer goede interface, in deze prijsklasse ( en ver er boven) geen product wat hier tegenop kan.

De Shure sm7b is een mic die mega veel gain nodig heeft om te werken en dat redden veel interfaces niet.
Deze behringer heeft er absoluut geen moeite mee en stuurt deze perfect aan.

Dit is een fantastische audio interface voor een hele scherpe prijs. Ik heb hem nu ongeveer een week in gebruik en ben heel tevreden.

Ik gebruik hem met Linux: er zijn geen bijzondere drivers nodig. Het zou kunnen dat er enkele features onbereikbaar zijn (zoals geavanceerde routing opties) maar ik mis deze niet.

De input volumes en de instelling welke clocksource te gebruiken (intern of SPDIF) zijn gewoon beschikbaar in alsamixer (wat bijvoorbeeld niet het geval is met m'n M-Audio waarvan ik de digitale inputs dus niet kon gebruiken). Alle inputs en outputs presenteren zich binnen alsamixer als stereo-kanalen, waarvan links/rechts niet apart onafhankelijk van elkaar kunnen worden maar aangezien alles toch uiteindelijk met een DAW wordt geregeld is dat helemaal geen probleem.

(De eerste dag dacht ik abusievelijk dat sommige kanalen erg gevoelig waren voor storing van andere apparaten, maar dat was omdat ik line-inputs gebruikte en het "Pad" knopje op de voorkant niet had ingeschakeld voor deze inputs waardoor ze gewoon veel te gevoelig waren. Alles werkt gewoon helemaal prima, ik had de handleiding eerst gewoon even door moeten nemen.)

Ik kan deze interface zeker aanraden!

Wat een super interface, doet precies wat deze moet doen zeker voor mij.
Ik gebruik hem in mijn radiostudio waar ik diverse digitale audiobronnen naar het mengpaneel moet aansturen. ik had eerst de Tascam US-16x08 USB die dit niedt kon.
Verder een prima aparaat maar niet voor mijn toepassing. Door een snelle omruilactie van Bax-shop heb ik een geweldige ervaring erbij. Dank voor dit al en het meedenken en snelle levering.
De Behringer U-PHORIA UMC1820 was een kwestie van aansluiten, drivers downloaden en werken. KAATJING. Direct ermee aan de slag gegaan.
Nu inbouwen en programma's maken.

Met een aantal hardware synths, 2 gitaren en een condenser microfoon was ik op zoek naar een betaalbare audio interface met veel inputs. Een die je bovendien ook standalone, dus buiten de DAW om kunt gebruiken. De Behringer UMC1820 voldoet volledig, is verrassend robuust, klinkt goed en is echt plug and play. Netjes ingebouwd in een rack, helemaal perfect.
Voor deze prijs ga je geen betere interface met veel inputs vinden.

Uitstekende interface! De beste optie als je veel inputs wil hebben en je budget rond de 200 euro zit. Was meteen te gebruiken in mijn DAW. Heel goed geluid, geen ruis etc. Stevig apparaat en een mooie strakke afwerking!

Uitstekende audio interface. Voor dit geld is het moeilijk om iets vergelijkbaars te vinden met zo veel ins. Zeker de moeite waard om te kopen. Ik gebruik hem zelf voor m'n Akai MPC One. Enige minpuntje is dat ik ruis opmerk als de gain (maakt niet uit welke) ook maar iets boven de helft wordt gezet, maar ik heb hem ook niet op een geaard stopcontact aangesloten dus daar zal het misschien aan liggen.

Prima apparaat. Hiervoor een Focusrite. Deze bied voor een zeer acceptabel bedrag meer mogelijkheden en dus een fijne upgrade van de thuisstudio. Had ik maar meer tijd om er mee te spelen...-;)

NAMM 2016: IK Multimedia's iKlip A/V - Top Sound Quality on Your Smartphone

Thursday 7 January 2016 By Richard | Bax Music

These days, films can be recorded entirely on smartphones, and some YouTubers are more famous than television presenters. The gap between professionals and amateurs is becoming smaller. Cameras on today's smartphones offer excellent image quality that is getting harder and harder to distinguish from 'the real thing'. Sound quality on smartphones, on the other hand, is an area that is still in need of some improvement. That's where the iKlip A/V from IK Multimedia comes in. It's a broadcast mount with an integrated microphone preamp that will add professional-quality sound to your smartphone footage.
