18x20 USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI Interface

The Behringer UMC1820 is an 18-input and 20-output USB 2.0 audio interface designed for recording bands and multi-instrument sessions. It provides eight Midas-designed microphone preamps with +48 V phantom power for condenser microphones. Line-level inputs and Hi-Z instrument inputs handle keyboards, bass and guitars directly. Standard 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O connects synthesisers and drum machines. A 12 VDC power supply is included.

Midas preamps and 24-bit / 96 kHz conversion

Eight Midas-designed preamps deliver clean gain for sustained tracking sessions. The 24-bit / 96 kHz converters maintain pristine audio quality across all channels during extended recording. Direct monitoring offers low-latency cue mixes without taxing the host computer. Optical I/O includes S/PDIF, ADAT and S/MUX for expanding channel count with compatible outboard gear such as the ADA8200 for up to 16 preamps.

Impact-resistant chassis and flexible monitoring

The rugged chassis withstands studio and stage handling. Two independent headphone outputs with level controls allow separate performer mixes. Main outputs feature dim, mute and level controls for quick monitoring adjustments. USB 2.0 connectivity provides reliable data transfer for 18 simultaneous inputs and 20 outputs in normal operation.

Questions about this item

How loud does the UMC1820 run when recording a full band all day?

The UMC1820 has no internal fan, so it adds no audible noise to the studio while the eight Midas preamps and 24-bit / 96 kHz converters handle 18 simultaneous inputs.

What cables or gear must I already have to connect microphones and instruments?

You need XLR cables for the eight mic preamps with +48 V phantom power, 1/4-inch TRS or TS leads for the line and Hi-Z inputs, and a USB 2.0 cable to the computer.

Will my older 5-pin MIDI synth and ADAT expander work alongside this interface?

Yes, the UMC1820 provides standard 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O and eight channels of ADAT optical I/O compatible with units such as the ADA8200 for up to 16 Midas preamps.
