Behringer

The floor of three different families, on all six stores

Behringer occupies the same position in three of our families: the least expensive product that still does the job properly.

What we found writing the reviews

The UMC22 is a complete recording chain for the price of a cable. One XLR/TRS combo input with a Midas-designed preamp, a separate instrument input, direct monitoring with a mix control, and USB power. Forty-eight kilohertz, and Behringer does not claim more.

The pedals are the cheapest way to learn what you like. The TO800 covers the classic tube-screamer voicing and the OD300 offers overdrive and distortion in one enclosure. At thirty-four and forty-three dollars, they cost less than the cable that connects them.

Neither pedal ships with a power supply, and that is where money gets lost. Pedals expect 9 V DC center-negative; a supply of the wrong polarity can kill one in seconds. Every Behringer pedal page on this site says so.

Distribution is the strongest here. All three products carry one reference across all six Amazon stores, with prices within a narrow band. That is the best availability of any brand in this catalog.

Every Behringer product we have reviewed

  • Behringer ECM PRO

    One bullet, and it is the title repeated

    The thinnest listing on this shelf by a distance: a condenser microphone whose single bullet is its own title, with no pattern, no diaphragm, no sensitivity, no SPL and no power requirement published anywhere.

    Best for: A buyer who already knows this microphone, because the listing answers nothing about it.

  • Behringer UMC22

    2×2 · Midas preamp · 48 kHz · USB powered

    The cheapest honest way into recording: one XLR/TRS combo input with a Midas-designed preamp, a separate instrument input, direct monitoring and USB power. Forty-eight kilohertz, and no pretense beyond it.

    Best for: A first interface for one voice or one instrument at a time.
