Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD

The Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD is a high-definition USB audio interface designed for recording microphones and instruments. It is a staple in home studios due to its affordability and the inclusion of Midas-designed preamplifiers.

Behringer was founded in Germany in 1989 by Uli Behringer. Over the decades, the brand has grown into one of the largest audio equipment manufacturers in the world. While the brand has German heritage, almost all of its manufacturing currently takes place in "Behringer City" in Zhongshan, China, a massive integrated production facility owned by its parent company.

Today, the brand is owned by Music Tribe, a multi-national holding company based in the Philippines (with significant operations in the British Virgin Islands). Music Tribe, led by Uli Behringer, owns several other iconic audio brands such as Midas, Klark Teknik, and TC Electronic, allowing for technology sharing across their product lines.
