Before connecting the UMC202HD, ensure you install the necessary drivers for your operating system (Windows or macOS). Drivers are typically available on the Behringer website. The device is compatible with popular recording software including Avid Pro Tools*, Ableton Live*, and Steinberg Cubase*.
2.2 Conexión a la computadora
Connect the UMC202HD to your computer using a standard USB cable. The device is bus-powered, meaning it draws power directly from your computer via the USB connection.
2.3 Conexión de micrófonos e instrumentos
Use XLR cables for microphones and 1/4-inch TRS cables for instruments (guitars, basses, keyboards) to connect to Input 1 and Input 2 on the front panel. Ensure the correct input type (Line/Inst) is selected via the switches above the gain knobs.
2.4 Connecting Headphones and Monitors
Plug your headphones into the 1/4-inch PHONES jack on the front panel. Connect your studio monitors to the 1/4-inch TRS outputs on the rear panel.

Adjust the GAIN knobs for Input 1 and Input 2 to set the input level for your microphones or instruments. The CLIP and SIG LEDs indicate signal presence and clipping. Aim for a strong signal without clipping (red CLIP LED).
3.2 Alimentación fantasma (+48 V)
For condenser microphones, activate the +48V PHANTOM POWER switch located on the front panel. This supplies the necessary power to the microphone. Ensure your microphone requires phantom power before activating this feature.

Engage the DIRECT MONITOR switch to hear your input signal directly through your headphones or monitors with zero latency. This is useful for monitoring your performance without delay from your computer's software.
