What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Had a need to upgrade from a M-Audio air 192 6 usb interface 2-in/2-out to the Behringer UMC404HD which is a 4-in/4-out usb midi interface. Snapped this up from Amazon Warehouse who were offering it with around 30% discount as it was allegedly badly scratched. But it wasn't; just the packaging was in very poor condition. It worked straight out of the box being recognised immediately by a MacBook Pro. Featuring the usual 24 bit/192 kHz resolution, it comes with 4 Midas mic preamps and has 48V phantom power.”
Verified purchase“Four XLR or 6.3mm Jack inputs with a variety of Jack or XLR outputs too. Work perfectly with Ableton Live 11. Easy to manage volume control. Has a nice weight to the device. 100% recommend this for anyone who produces music/video and uses a variety of inputs and outputs.”
