An entry-level interface designed for simple and reliable recording
The UM2 was designed to focus on the essentials: clear connectivity, 16 bit / 48 kHz conversion, and a compact USB-powered chassis. Its place in the range is that of an affordable audio interface, aimed at quick sound capture, with a true mic preamp and a separate instrument input to cover the most common home studio needs.
Who is it for and what studio uses?
This USB audio interface is intended for singers, guitarists, composers, podcasters, and content creators who want to easily record a vocal, guitar, or line source. The combo input accepts a microphone (XLR) or a line source (6.3 mm jack), while the dedicated instrument input allows you to plug in a guitar or bass directly. Thanks to direct monitoring and the headphone output, you can monitor your take in real time without struggling with latency settings.
Key features: an efficient recording chain
XENYX preamp and +48V Phantom power
The studio-designed XENYX mic preamp provides the necessary gain for clean vocal recordings, and the +48V Phantom power enables the use of condenser microphones when your setup requires it. Signal and peak indicators help quickly adjust levels to avoid clipping right from the capture.
Direct monitoring and stereo RCA outputs
Direct monitoring facilitates recording by offering immediate source feedback while maintaining comfortable headphone listening. The stereo RCA outputs provide a simple connection to studio monitors, a mixing console, or a hi-fi system, depending on your production environment.
