Behringer U-Control UCA222 USB Audio Interface

The U-CONTROL UCA222 Audio Interface: Your Gateway to the Digital Audio Realm

Are you looking for a simple, affordable way to get your music into the digital domain? Or perhaps you need to connect your computer to an external effects unit or recorder? Maybe you want to transfer your old cassette tapes to CD before they deteriorate? The U-CONTROL UCA222 Audio Interface is the fastest, easiest solution to get analog audio into your computer.

This ultra-compact, USB-powered device allows you to connect your PC or Mac computer to virtually any audio gear. Powered directly from your computer's USB bus, it requires no external power supply or batteries. And the best part? The UCA222 requires no special setup or drivers - just plug it into a free USB port and start recording.

Versatility is the name of the game with the UCA222. It features two analog mono inputs for connecting any line-level device, such as a mixer or tape deck, and two analog mono outputs for active speakers or studio monitors. On the digital side, it provides USB connectivity and an additional S/PDIF optical output for direct analog-to-digital conversion. The stereo headphone output with dedicated level control lets you monitor both the input source and the computer output.

When used as a professional interface between a mixing console and your computer, the UCA222 opens up a world of possibilities. You can connect its RCA outputs to the TAPE INPUT jacks of your mixer or active monitors, or directly into the input channels of the mixer. Connecting to the mixer's input channels gives you access to equalization and allows you to use the AUX Send features to build versatile monitor mixes for your recording sessions.

To help you take full advantage of the UCA222's podcasting and recording potential, we've included a massive software package. This includes Audacity, Podifier, Juice, Podnova, and Golden Ear, allowing you to go live on your Mac or PC right out of the box. You also get more than 100 virtual instruments and over 50 effects plug-ins, turning your computer into a complete home-based or mobile recording studio.

When you're ready to take your recording projects to the next level, XT Software's energyXT is the perfect solution. This amazing DAW (digital audio workstation) makes it easy to manipulate your audio and MIDI files, helping you turn song ideas into stunning CD or web-ready recordings. energyXT includes its own multi-FX processor, built-in synthesizers, and a drum machine, all of which can be accessed directly via an external controller (such as our UMA25S or UMX25) or programmed in step-write mode.

The U-CONTROL UCA222 Audio Interface offers state-of-the-art digital conversion, world-class recording and editing software, and hassle-free connectivity between your PC or Mac and any audio gear, all for a fraction of the cost of other USB audio interfaces. It's the perfect solution for taking your music to the digital realm.
