Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD — 4-channel USB audio interface

The Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD is a 4-in/4-out USB 2.0 audio interface with four Midas-designed preamps feeding studio-grade 24-bit / 192 kHz converters. The 4-in/4-out architecture lets a small band track vocals, acoustic instruments, and drum overheads without repatching. Getting set up on Mac or Windows is quick, and built-in MIDI I/O keeps hardware controllers integrated with ease.

Midas preamp heritage and zero-latency monitoring

Four Midas-designed microphone preamps, as found in Midas XL4 and Heritage consoles, distinguish this model from basic 2-channel competitors. To achieve latency-free monitoring, a front-panel mix knob blends live input with DAW playback, while an A/B button allows cueing between the main mix and a secondary feed.

Conversion and channel count — capture every source

Thanks to high-resolution conversion and a generous channel count, recording a full band is easily managed with this interface.

• Number of Channels: 4 inputs / 4 outputs — four simultaneous sources
• Sample Rate / Bit Depth: 192 kHz / 24-bit — captures the full audible spectrum for music and video work

Microphone preamps and phantom power

The preamp section is the heart of any recording chain, and this unit ships with Midas-designed circuitry for clean capture.

• Number of Preamps: 4 Midas-designed preamps — ~53 dB of gain, enough for SM7B dynamics
• With a globally switchable +48 V phantom power, all XLR inputs can drive condenser microphones from a single rear-panel switch.

Monitoring and digital connectivity

In tracking sessions, latency-free monitoring is just as critical as high-quality converters.

• Headphone Output: 1/4" TRS with level control and A/B source select — toggle between main mix and click feed
• Direct Monitoring: Front-panel mix knob, mono/stereo switch — blends zero-latency input with DAW playback for tracking
• USB 2.0 provides simple digital connectivity without the need for external clocking or additional digital I/O standards.
