Behringer UCA-202 Crazy Review – haQ attaQ 137
Behringer UCA-202 is one of my most used tools. Whether I’m filming videos, sampling or recording live Jams, this unit has been vital for capturing audio. But why? It doesn’t seem very impressive.
Well, in this haQ attaQ episode I am highlighting five things, that makes the Behringer UCA-202 so important to me. I would recommend this simple Audio-Interface to any iOS Musician any day!

Hey @jakoB_haQ thanks for recording this.
I have a quick question though.
Does the output of the behringer's headphone jack sound any different/better than the built in headphone jack? People claim the iPad/iPhone headphone jack has a low pass filter on it, so I wondered if you noticed a difference?
The optical out is useful if you can run it at 48K, and if you want to capture that in a MacBookPro that has the TOSLink optical capable microphone input (I believe the latest generations have dropped that. Shame:( So, no Audiobus that way, but any DAW and I believe AUM can handle it (check with AUM needed!)
This article details a headphone amp upgrade (the onboard headphone amplifier is not as good as it could have been).
Interesting, and a bit of a shame. Think I will continue waiting for the new Audioquest DACs instead. Thanks for the link
I have been using the Roland Duo Capture EX for the past year and a half. A few weeks ago I needed something smaller, lighter and expendible for a project so I grabbed the UCA-202 not expecting much and was really damned impressed with just how much better it seemed to sound then the ipad jack. Not as good as the Duo Capture but certainly an impovement. Not sure about different headphones with different impendence but volume wise there is no way I would turn it up full blast with my Sennheisser HD 380 Pros, I would be deaf pretty quick.
I have it and the headphone outs of the uca 222 is way better sounding. I've used the UCA live at church going into a DI box to the main board. Amazing sound!
@Jocphone In my opinion the headphone out on the UCA sounds better than the iPhone one. But I must also add that it sounded way better than my iPhone 5.
Right now I'm using a. iPhone 6s. And it "feels" like I'm getting almost the same power output between the UCA and the iPhone 6s, only the UCA sounds a bit "cleaner".
@u0421793 Thanks for the link!
I love DIY stuff! I might modify my own.
@dwarman It's been ages since I ran any stuff with the old ADAT interface. I'm going to do some tests. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks @Tones4Christ & @jakoB_haQ
The thing is, if I play the same track on my iPad and my Mac using the same headphones, I hear more of the higher frequencies and it sounds punchier overall on the Mac. Is this the experience you get from listening through the Behringer at all? I may just get one to tide me over till the Audioquest Black and Reds are released, as it is so inexpensive.
Thanks @AudioGus think I will get one to try it for myself.
cool tip! I have a bunch of audio interfaces (NI, Focusrite, Alesis) that work with my ipad, but I've been thinking about getting something smaller and cheaper that I can leave in my mixer case for gigs.
30 bucks on Amazon. 3-year warranty. Seems like a no-brainer.
Only downside I see is that it seems to only go up to 16-bit/48khz. My other interfaces will do 24-bit and thus probably have lower latency (but none of them are bus-powered)
Careful, it’s surface-mount, and will need an SMD rework station or the proper gear. An ordinary (even tiny) soldering iron will wreck it more than likely. Myself, I give up when faced with SMDs.
I have a UCA 202 but it is not stable. Looks like it loses its power now and then. The green light goes out and sound mutes then it goes on and I hear sound. I use a powered usb hub. Any suggestions? Thanks.
