Overview
Recording on a Mac or Windows computer is the job of the Behringer UMC202HD. Two combination inputs take microphones, instruments or line sources, and the unit connects by USB with TRS output jacks on the back.
Midas-designed mic preamps and high-resolution converters carry the sound, while the Direct Monitor switch lets a performer hear the signal with no delay. A phantom power switch covers condenser mics. The listing names no software bundle, power details or dimensions.
Who it's for
Singer-songwriters, voice-over artists and guitarists tracking onto a Mac or Windows machine. Producers who need several mic channels at once should look at a larger interface.

Performance notes
The preamps set the clean gain available to microphones, and the converters turn the signal into digital at a high sample rate. Direct monitoring sends the input straight to the headphones before it reaches the computer, which removes the delay a performer would otherwise hear. The USB link carries audio in both directions.
