Getting started

  1. Windows operating system: Please visit www.behringer.com and download the latest USB driver for your U-Phoria interface. Unzip the file, double-click the setup.exe and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Mac OS X operating system: No drivers needed, your U-Phoria interface operates class-compliant.
  2. Connect to the mains via the provided power adapter (UMC404HD).
  3. Connect to a computer via the provided USB cable. Designate your U-Phoria device as your audio (UM2 / UMC22 / UMC202HD) or audio/MIDI (UMC204HD & UMC404HD) interface in your DAW software.
  4. Connect a pair of studio headphones to the connector to monitor input levels and playback from your audio software. Use the OUTPUT knob (UM2 & UMC22) or PHONES knob (UMC202HD / UMC204HD / UMC404HD) to adjust the headphone volume. Engage the DIRECT MONITOR button (UM2 / UMC22 / UMC202HD) or adjust the MIX knob (UMC204HD & UMC404HD) to achieve zero latency monitoring of your input signals.
  5. Connect instruments and audio sources to MIC/LINE 1 and INST 2 (UM2 & UMC22), INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 (UMC202HD & UMC204HD), or INPUT 1 – 4 (UMC404HD). Use the MIC/LINE GAIN 1 and INST GAIN 2 (UM2), GAIN 1 and GAIN 2 knobs (UMC22 / UMC202 / UMC204HD), or GAIN 1 – 4 (UMC404HD) knobs to adjust the input level of the connected audio sources. Engage the +48 V phantom power switch on the rear panel if you are recording with condenser microphones.
  6. Connect a MIDI keyboard, controller, or other MIDI device via the MIDI ports on the rear panel (UMC204HD & UMC404HD)
  7. Connect a pair of studio monitors to the 1(L) & 2(R) OUTPUTS (UM2 / UMC22 / UMC202HD) or L & R MAIN OUTS (UMC204HD & UMC404HD) for playback and mixing. Use the OUTPUT (UM2 / UMC22 / UMC202HD) or MAIN OUT (UMC204HD & UMC404HD) knob to adjust the volume level at the OUTPUTS or MAIN OUT.
