The Best Budget XLR Phantom Power Microphone Pre-amplifier - The Behringer U-PHORIA UMC202HD

In this video I'm showing how to use the Behringer U-PHORIA UMC202HD as a stand alone XLR phantom power microphone preamplifier.

Although the UMC202HD is a USB audio interface, it can actually be used as a stand alone two channel stereo XLR microphone preamplifier which is also capable of supplying phantom power for condenser microphones.

This functionality is possible because the UMC202HD is fully active when it is supplied power via its USB interface and using its direct monitor function allows it to send the output from its preamps direct to its outputs.

As well as being able to power and preamp condenser microphones with phantom power it can also preamp dynamic microphones. In fact, it will amplify any audio source that's connected to its quarter inch jack sockets or its XLR sockets.

In the video I show it being powered by a USB battery bank and also a typical USB power supply, those typically used for a smartphone or any USB powered device.

This particular function may well work on other USB audio interfaces that have a direct monitor function and that can be fully functional without the need of a host computer and DAW or audio software.

I've had a few of these small USB audio interfaces and the UMC202HD is the only one that I've found that will work this way interdependently from a host computer. It may well be the case that similar interfaces need to be triggered by a driver in order to work fully.

As for the preamp and sound quality of the UMC2020HD. It's just as good and better than some similar two input two output USB audio interfaces. It has good digital to analogue and analogue to digital converters, it has a great dynamic range and its preamp circuitry is also very quiet, which makes it suited to gaining dynamic microphones or low level sources. In short, it's great for the price.
