Thank you

Thank you for choosing the new UCA202 U-CONTROL interface
from Behringer. You will now be able to transfer all your great
albums from the vinyl and tape eras into the digital realm
with the help of this easy-to-use device. It features stereo
RCA inputs and outputs to allow both monitoring and recording
of the audio source. The USB connection will work with either
PCs or Mac computers, so no drivers are needed for installation,
and power is supplied through the USB cable. The separate
headphones output allows you to play back your recordings
at any time, even if you don't have any loudspeakers available.
We've also included free software to help you transfer and edit
the music in a streamlined fashion, allowing you to spend less
time fidgeting with settings and more time listening
to your favorite songs.

Welcome to the family of U-CONTROL users and thank you
for expressing your confidence in Behringer products by
purchasing the UCA202. With the UCA202 you have purchased
a high-performance audio interface that includes a USB
connector. It is thus an ideal sound card for your laptop computer
or an essential recording/playback component for studio
environments that involve desktop computers.
The UCA202 is PC and Mac-compatible. Therefore, no separate
installation procedure is required, while the operating system
drivers ensure an extremely short latency. Thanks to its robust
construction and compact dimensions, the UCA202 is also ideal
for traveling. The separate headphones output allows you to play
back your recordings at any time, even if you don't happen
to have any loudspeakers available.
2 inputs and outputs as well as the digital stereo output give
you total connecting flexibility to mixing consoles, loudspeakers
or headphones. Power is supplied to the unit via the USB
interface. The LED gives you a quick check that the UCA202
is properly connected to the computer. The UCA202 is the ideal
extra for every computer musician.
