Behringer UMC1820 — 18x20 USB Audio Interface with Midas Preamps

The Behringer UMC1820 is an 18-in, 20-out USB 2.0 audio interface crafted for project studios, touring rigs, and producers upgrading from basic desktop models. Eight Midas-designed preamps supply clean, transparent gain to the 24-bit / 96 kHz converters, enabling you to capture everything from full drum kits to complex synth setups. It comes complete with a USB cable, power adapter, and manual, and works on both Windows and macOS.

What Sets the UMC1820 Apart

Flexibility is a key asset for this interface. With the optical ADAT port, a Behringer ADA8200 can double your preamp count to 16 channels. Blend live input with DAW playback using the front-panel Mix knob for zero-latency direct monitoring, while stereo/mono switching and dual headphone outputs—each with their own level control—make cue mixing simple.

Inputs and Outputs — 18x20 Architecture

Combo XLR/TRS jacks support microphones, line sources, and instruments, with a dedicated pad and gain stage per channel. For routing, ten 6.3 mm line outputs serve monitors, headphone amps, or outboard processors. MIDI I/O connects keyboard controllers and drum pads, freeing up your USB ports for other gear.

• Number of Channels: 8 — combo XLR/TRS inputs on both front and rear panels
• For engineers and performers, the UMC1820 provides two independent headphone outputs with separate level controls.
• Package Content: USB Cable, Adapter, Manual — ready for use right out of the box

Midas Preamps and 24-bit / 96 kHz Conversion

Midas-designed preamps deliver gain that rivals much more expensive interfaces. Phantom power (+48 V) is switchable in groups of four, supporting a wide range of condenser microphones. Capture the full dynamic range of vocals, drums, and acoustic instruments without audible coloration thanks to 24-bit / 96 kHz conversion.

• Number of Preamps: 8 Midas-designed — clean, low-noise gain stage
• Phantom power: +48 V, switchable in groups of 4 — supports condenser and ribbon mics
• Studio-grade conversion at 96 kHz / 24 bit ensures professional results for tracking and mixing.

Digital Expansion — ADAT, S/PDIF, and MIDI

Optical ADAT I/O (S/MUX-capable) and coaxial S/PDIF ports boost the total channel count to 18 inputs and 20 outputs; add the ADA8200 for eight more Midas preamps. The 19"/1U chassis (483 x 130 x 46 mm, 1.8 kg) fits standard racks and backpacks with ease.

• S/PDIF: Coaxial input and output — two channels of digital I/O at up to 96 kHz
• ADAT: Optical input and output (S/MUX) — eight channels at 48 kHz, four at 96 kHz
• ADAT and S/PDIF together cover most digital recording workflows—AES/EBU is not included.
