Review: Fantastic, functional, sturdy piece of hardware at an unbeatable price - So first of all this interface straight out of the box is of sturdy construction and comes with the required usb to hook it up. It provides 48v of phantom power to my DI box no problem, and the preamps have a very distinctive texture that in my opinion are second in sound qualiry only to Audient, who are very expensive and give you less inputs and outputs for your money. Both preamps are that weird hybrid kind that accept both jack leads and xlr cables, possibly more but unsure as i only tend to use those two. The pad that you can toggle to set the preamp to line level or instrument level is pretty nifty and could save you from having to use a di box depending on what you're plugging into it. Direct monitoring is pretty cool too you can switch between stereo and mono, very useful when you use headphones, and can also adjust the mix to the point where you can only hear whats going into the interface, or what's coming out of your DAW, and any blend of the two. As well as the headphone jack on the front it can also have i think it's two sets of monitors hooked up to the back which can be switched between on the front of the interface. Only drawback personally is that the LED system to check levels and clipping is ony like, two lights one green one red but that's fairly common amongst interfaces in and beyond this price range. All this coupled with the fact that it'll probably outlast my laptop and has midi ports on the back, makes me say that this is the ideal audio interface for producers/recording engineers, etc, who are starting a home setup, want a lot of options in terms of functionality and dont want to upgrade for a long time. And it's extremely useful for people of all levels as a portable interface. Fantastic piece of hardware for a fantastic price. Review: Great at recording my old records - I’m using this to record my old vinyl records into digital files which I can play on my phone and other devices. I’m very impressed by it. My record player is connected to my NAD3020A amp. I’ve connected the Behringer UCA222 to the Tape ports on the back of the amp using my own amp cables, and then connected the Behringer to my Windows 10 laptop using its USB cable. On my laptop I’ve installed the free Audacity software for doing the recording. It’s all working wonderfully. I’m very impressed by the sound. Of course, you are not going to get the quality of a modern high-definition audio recording, but I think the Behringer is giving a very faithful recording of my records. Setting up was far easier than I expected. Other than downloading Audacity, I didn’t need to download any other software or drivers. The only glitch was that the sound was initially being processed by my laptop as mono. Looking some helpful reviews, I realised I needed to change to the settings for this recording device to “2 channel 16 bit 44100 Hz”. To do this on my laptop (others may differ slightly): open the Control Panel; from the Sound menu choose Sound Control Panel, then choose Recording. From the Sound pop-up window, select Microphone 2-USB Audio CODEC to open the Microphone Properties, then select the desired 2 channel 16 bit setting from the Default Format panel. Having done that once, I have not needed change it since. Although no software is supplied with the UCA222, the recommended free Audacity is good. It looks a bit daunting at first, but the basics are pretty simple, with an interface similar to a tape recorder. And there are some simple inbuilt tutorials to guide you through some other things you might want to do, such as click removal, channel balancing, track marking, and removing inter-track noise. I was hesitant to buy the UCA222, having read some of the reviews that encountered problems. However, for my needs – recording records via my amp – it’s working superbly. ## Features - 2-input / 2-output USB audio interface for converting analog RCA audio sources to digital format - Supports up to 48 kHz digital audio conversion via USB connection - Stereo RCA inputs and outputs for connection to mixers, cassette decks, or other analog audio equipment - USB-powered design — no external power supply required - Class-compliant USB audio device compatible with Windows and macOS systems ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0023BYDHK | | Audio Input | RCA, USB | | Best Sellers Rank | 164 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 4 in Computer Audio Interfaces | | Brand | Behringer | | Brand Name | Behringer | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Mac | | Compatible devices | Personal Computer, Mac | | Connectivity Technology | USB, RCA | | Connectivity technology | USB, RCA | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 8,100 Reviews | | Frequency Response | 48 KHz | | Frequency response | 48 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04033653030618 | | Included Components | Camera Body | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 14D x 18.3W x 3.6H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Interface | | Manufacturer | Behringer | | Manufacturer Part Number | P0A31 | | Maximum Sample Rate | 48 KHz | | Model Number | UCA222 | | Number of Channels | 2 | | Number of channels | 2 | | Operating System | Windows、macOS | | Product Warranty | 3 year manufacturer. | | Supported Software | energyXT2.5, Audacity, comprehensive podcasting software | | Supported software | energyXT2.5, Audacity, comprehensive podcasting software | | UPC | 736211578945 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Behringer - **Compatible devices:** Personal Computer, Mac - **Connectivity technology:** USB, RCA - **Number of channels:** 2 - **Supported software:** energyXT2.5, Audacity, comprehensive podcasting software ## Images ![UCA222 USB Audio Interface, 2x2 RCA to USB Converter for Analog-to-Digital Audio Recording on PC and Mac - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kF4o1V2HL.jpg) ![UCA222 USB Audio Interface, 2x2 RCA to USB Converter for Analog-to-Digital Audio Recording on PC and Mac - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711+DDe5Z2L.jpg) ![UCA222 USB Audio Interface, 2x2 RCA to USB Converter for Analog-to-Digital Audio Recording on PC and Mac - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LNU3mWZrL.jpg) ![UCA222 USB Audio Interface, 2x2 RCA to USB Converter for Analog-to-Digital Audio Recording on PC and Mac - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71l7lFU4ZIL.jpg) ![UCA222 USB Audio Interface, 2x2 RCA to USB Converter for Analog-to-Digital Audio Recording on PC and Mac - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610fOHk-N8L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I used to record midi via from keyboards (yamaha) to laptop (all usb connections)?** A: It doesn't send or receive midi signals but, if you drive your keyboard via midi leads or a usb type midi lead, you can record on another channel in a DAW such as Cubase. I sequence tracks in midi then record each track as audio via the UCA222. I find that I get some light buzzing if the laptop is plugged in so I let it run on its battery for that stage and the sound is clean. Hope this helps. **Q: Hi, Can you connect midi keyboard to play virtual instruments with it? If yes, how? Can someone guide me please.** A: No. This is an audio interface. It allows you to connect an analog stereo audio source to the computer input, and the computer audio output to a stereo audio device. It sounds like you want a MIDI hub? I use an M-Audio Midiman to connect the keyboard to the computer. **Q: Will this sync the tempo in my keyboard to the one on my daw (garage band)?** A: Hi its a sound card, so I don't think so. **Q: Could I use this to bluetooth the mixing software to dsplay on an iPad or iPhone?** A: Hi there,Thank you for your order and your enquiry.Unfortunately, you will no be able to do that with this little audio interface. The UCA22 is designed to be used as an audio interface that connects your instruments, mixer, etc. with your computer for recording and playback, it does not have any Bluetooth capabilities I'm afraid.Many thanks.Kind regards,Ben JessenVisioSound ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic, functional, sturdy piece of hardware at an unbeatable price *by L***N on 9 February 2021* So first of all this interface straight out of the box is of sturdy construction and comes with the required usb to hook it up.

However from the perspective of someone using a dynamic microphone, the low amount of gain is a shame. I have not tested this interface with a condenser microphone so I cannot comment on the phantom power. Starting with the good, the interface is of good build quality, it is made from metal and feels sturdy, in terms of the casing and the knobs, I don't feel as though I would accidentally damage it in normal use at all. 2 XLR inputs is always nice to have, and these are both monitored separately. The headphone monitoring is quite good, there is a bit of noise, however the latency is very low, it feels instant to me. Mono and stereo output is supported via a hardware switch, which is nice as other interfaces will often only allow you to change this in software. The amps are good in terms of signal quality, I find that they are very clean right up until you turn them to max gain, where electrical buzzing can be heard. My favourite part about this interface is that it just works on Linux. I have found issues with other interfaces such as the scarlet solo 3rd gen, where linux will not allow you to have a mono signal, so the microphone would only be heard from one channel, ie one ear for headphone users. I have had no such issues with this interface, and I can control everything I need from hardware which is a big plus. Unfortunately this interface is powered over USB which limits the power of it's amplifier. The overall gain for dynamic microphones is quite low, I am not sure what the exact measurements are, but it certainly doesn't feel loud, however it is likely just fine for instruments and singing, for spoken voice it does okay, but it would be nice to have more volume headroom, not that this interface is any worse than other USB interfaces in terms of gain. I do hear some occasional electrical buzzing, but I am not sure if that is the fault of the interface or not. If you are okay with the drawbacks, this is a great interface for the price and I can recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Behringer U-Control UCA222 USB Audio Interface - Tan QY 2RCA to 2RCA Cable 3Ft, Gold-Plated 2 RCA Male to 2 RCA Male Stereo Audio Cable for Home Theater, HDTV, Gaming Consoles, Hi-Fi Systems (3Ft/1M) - Amazon Basics 2 RCA Audio Cable for Amplifier,Active Speakers or Subwoofer with Gold-Plated Plugs, 4 Feet, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48228961-uca222-usb-audio-interface-2x2-rca-to-usb-converter-analog](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48228961-uca222-usb-audio-interface-2x2-rca-to-usb-converter-analog) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
