Behringer U-Control UCA222 Audio Interface
The Behringer U-Control is an ultra-low latency 2 in/2 out USB audio interface with digital output.
U-Control allows you to connect instruments and other audio devices to your computer, effectively merging the analog and digital worlds. It accomplishes this by providing two analog mono Inputs and Outputs (for monitoring), USB connectivity and an additional S/PDIF optical output. The stereo headphone output features a dedicated level control and lets you listen to both the input and output. Behringer even give you all the software you’ll need to get started!
When used as a professional interface between a mixing console and your computer, myriad options become available. Some of these might include connecting the UCA222 RCA outputs to the tape input jacks of your mixer or to your powered monitors. Connecting to the mixer input channels allows you to use your mixer’s aux send feature to build an extremely-versatile monitor mix for recording sessions.
To truly get the most out of your UCA222, you will need recording and editing software. So, Behringer made it easy, providing a single place for you to download lots of free software including Audacity - an easy-to-use audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems. With Audacity you can record live audio, convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs, edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV or AIFF sound files, cut, copy, splice or mix sounds together, change the speed or pitch of a recording and much more.
