All user reviews for the Behringer U-Control UCA202

It is a small (very small) USB card with 2 inputs / RCA outputs, a headphone output with volume, an optical output and a monitor on / off switch (yes, all on 9cm / 5cm / 2cm ....)
I use a laptop Packard Bell easynote to control Live and play virtual instruments in Cubase.

USE

? If the installation of the card is simple .... To say: you connect to a USB port, and it works !!!!
Where it gets complicated a bit that is latency.
Since no driver is supplied, you can safely listen to music, but to play, it is more difficult.
I went on the Behringer website that offers a driver, but he never went out me no sound ....
So I downloaded the driver ASIO4ALL and there, it rolls alone, I have an imperceptible latency.
I put 8/10 because the proposed driver on the site (which in my opinion is useless ...)

IMPLEMENTATION

Two days after receiving it, I used it on stage without any problems. I drive the PC with a keyboard master A80 through a midiman and I mix the sounds of virtual instruments with other hardware sound modules. all is very stable, I've had no crashes. happy guy ....

NOTICE GLOBAL

At 18/04/06, I use it for only 5 days.
The sound is significantly appointment. Of course, this is the moin expensive on the market, but I use a Terratec EWS 88 MT in fixed installation and the noise level, the UCA does not have to turn pale, quite the contrary.
The price / performance ratio of this card is absolutely amazing (you made with 4 outputs no coincidence ?????)
I would do this choice without hesitation
Paid 33 euros for all that was in it and the sound, which could be better? ......

The simplicity

UTILIZATION

Win XP
FreeStyler
BPM Studio
Adobe Audition 3
MediaMonkey

GETTING STARTED

you branch it works!

OVERALL OPINION

This is the interface to have ABSOLUTELY! the mat of the audio, no driver you branch it works, compatible with any audio software (even freestyler to synchronize the lights and music).
For my part I have 6 and it's great! no worries compatibility level between my various devices and my PC.

2 analog input, headphone, USB, 48 kHz converters.
I use it on multiple computers: windows, linux os or just listening to a small mastering or recording in RCA.

UTILIZATION

Drivers useful or not.
I use Cubase, Ardour or a single drive, according to different OS.
It can record two mono tracks or stereo.
Latende still very low at about 10ms with Jack on linux or mac or windows asio.

GETTING STARTED

Installation without problems since there are not needed.
Configuration very easy mac and windows
Manual (pdf) clear, at the same time there is not enough to take 3 hours on technical specifications of the card.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years.
Easy to use, is perfectly sound job, (it's not a beast to compete, but it sas its place in a home studio).
It allows me to register or get out easily without search CAR THE ultimate quality but is still more than correct.
Price / quality ratio Nickel.

I bought this product because it was cheap and I needed a sound card of this type to record using a mixer (in this case a Phonic 4 tracks)

I could small demos recorded with drums, bass guitar and singing a very acceptable quality (you just need to know what mix behind).

UTILIZATION

I downloaded the drivers on the Behringer site, no problems, I used it on Cubase SX3. Nickel.
No updates, I think that that is useful?

There was a latency monitoring with the version of cubase but when using the return of the UCA, it is zero.

So we have two tracks (left and right)

I used ave cma console AVEE a pan left and right guitar voice that made me two independent tracks.
For the battery (acoustic) Left and right head over GC CC center (or slightly pan), with a pre EQ on GC and clear cash to boost low or medium and it did.

GETTING STARTED

No problems in installing everything all that.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a while (about 4 years I think ...)

I had not bought a sound card before, since I took a photo R16. This is not the same but it is more expensive and at that time I had no money.

What I love most, is clearly the price! Value for money nickel (obviously depending on what you want to do) and this size. Hop in your pocket hehe!

With experience, surely, I always used to record electronic drums: RCA cable and off you nickel and practice.

Map-low-latency ASIO small for use with VST synths (especially Pianoteq) and also for use with virtual amplifier types AmpliTube / guitarig / Pod Farm on the guitar.

UTILIZATION

At first I had some small problems all Driver (2005) with driver for Behringer, and I had to go through ASIO4ALL. Since most of the drivers of behringer problem are correct and well-recognized (on Windows XP, or Windows 7)
I use this card mainly with Reaper or sometimes only in Standalone with Pianoteq.

I did not really used for recording, but I think it's okay but still worse than what I could get with my other pci card M-Audio Delta 44 (best quality converters)

GETTING STARTED

-Install without problems.
-Easy setup (recognized in the sequencer Reaper)
-Incompatibility? => I got to meet as laptops with which I used the map of possible conflicts with its own chipsets in laptops, in which case it was sometimes necessary to disable the other sound driver to use the map behringer. I have not had any problems since long time with my latest laptop (windows 7, proc. I5)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 6 years.

I appreciate the fact that this map is small, cheap and it allows
latencies reduced (less than or equal to 10 ms), in USB.

Recommended for small budget or in addition to another sound card bulkier, but I think not replace a sound card with best quality converter (example: delta44 in PCI, USB or a Fast Track to which an approximately 2 to 3 times the price and a number of inputs / outputs equivalent offers a more complete connection of the converter and probably best).
THE connections is limited (RCA) then this card is useful if you have a mixer upstream (to get a guitar for example) or if one is interested only in the virtual synth (in this case we sheet entries and can be sent directly to the RCA hi-fi for example ....

Here is my quick impressions on the behringer UCA 202 ...

See data sheet.
We appreciate the small size, Toslink, side plug'n'play

UTILIZATION

Yes very stable even gets a latency that does not really work with a software sequencer (greater than 100ms when a "real" digital audio interface is below 10ms) and sizeable projects.

GETTING STARTED

Nothing is easier, it is plug'n'play

OVERALL OPINION

I use it daily on my desktop PC. It allows me to enjoy the RCA plugged into my mixing desk listening to music for example and plug in my headphones. More for a while now but I used the toslink to connect my amp salon. It keeps a very good sound quality for multimedia activities.

Nothing spectacular but it is so convenient.
I use ASIO4ALL.
For use "standard" or to catch rehearsals as I read earlier that's enough.
To the computer music, it is not sufficient on the other hand.

PS: but notes may seem harsh but how many stars does it take a while to interface with TC Electronic?

I got a nice laptop but with USB 1.1 ports.
Creative doing quite expensive gadget, I was looking for something as cheap as possible but which is still better than the crap in my laptop that I can at least hear the sound of my hard drive electronics ...

PIV 1.7GHz, 512MB RAM, 40GB 5400rpm HDD, USB1.1, Windows XP SP2

NB: the interface of USB2.0 sound card

UTILIZATION

No installation since it is a USB card that uses the legacy drivers in Windows XP.
No incompatibility retained. It runs by itself.
There is nothing specific to configure.
The manual is in English but very complete. it's quite surprising!

GETTING STARTED

I installed ASIO4ALL Behringer but also provides a driver dedicated on his site that I have not tested.
The drivers are the drivers native to XP.

I use Tracktion 2, so I tested the interface with plug Ohmforce yesterday. It works USB1.1 nickel with a latency of 15ms (broadly acceptable).

I play the demos of Tracktion no problem and my projects go well over quite complex. OK, that may drop a little, but it depends on usage. To live, it is the USB2 .0. To tinker on his laptop, the 1.1 is enough.

I will be ordering a small PCMCIA card to USB 2.0 and I think I will be quiet with AC (the map is the 24bit/96kHz)

The card has inputs / outputs on RCA, an optical output S / PDIF, a monitor function to monitor the inputs and a headphone jack with volume control.
Ben and believe it or not: the sound is excellent for such a small thing (see my profile to see what I can compare) and there is no breath at a hair headphone and no noise.

OVERALL OPINION

Honestly, thank you Behringer. 33 euros for this, we can buy it eyes closed! It is simply amazing, and I weigh my words.
It's compact, well damn, it sounds and it makes you forget the card.
Critics of Behringer should not have much to say for once.

It is subjective, but the sound is really good. The bass is precise and well presented (listening on headphones AKG K240 Sennheiser HD212 Studio Pro) and the sound is clear and dynamic.

In any case, light years away from the chip integration of my laptop.

Voila. I just try to not believing too much, but the key is: I make music with!

Ok

UTILIZATION

GETTING STARTED

Ok

OVERALL OPINION

For those who were disgusted with PCI sound cards and have never succeeded with it's convenient to record a zero-latency, interference-free and without losing configuration has three weeks searching for any solution that does not exist . BUY THIS SOUND CARD! you plug the card into the USB port on your PC, download ASIO4ALL and around jouer.j 'reaches record sound directly from the card with Cubase SX on a proper quality and latency 8 ms thing I had ever managed with my old PCI sound cards knowing that my PC is far from being the last on thomann cri.acheter € 28 (Germany) I can not put that 10/10

I wanted an audio interface to play live with my laptop. I chose this card because it rpond my expectations, and only one.
I have a laptop that runs XP fairly rcent (beginners of years) and 1GB of RAM

UTILIZATION

The interface is automatically DTECT.
No need for drivers under Windows XP
not need the manual
