Frequently Asked Questions - U-PHORIA UMC1820 BEHRINGER

How do I connect the UMC1820 to my computer?
Connect the USB Type B port on the rear panel to your computer using the supplied USB cable. For Windows, install the latest driver from behringer.com. For Mac, no driver is needed (CoreAudio compliant).
Do I need to install drivers on Mac?
No, the UMC1820 is CoreAudio/CoreMIDI compliant and works plug-and-play on Mac OS X 10.9 or higher. No additional drivers are required.
How do I enable phantom power?
Press the P+48V switches on the front panel for inputs 1-4 and 5-8. Use only with microphones that require phantom power. Always check your microphone's documentation before enabling.
What sample rates are supported?
The UMC1820 supports 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz sample rates with 24-bit resolution.
How do I monitor directly without latency?
Use the MONITORING knob on the front panel. Turn it towards IN to hear direct inputs with zero latency. The MIX position blends direct input and computer playback.
Can I use ADAT expansion?
Yes, the optical I/O supports ADAT and S/MUX formats. Set the OPT I/O switch to ADAT to use additional ADAT-compatible equipment. Note that the UMC1820 does a quick reboot when changing modes.
How do I adjust input gain?
Use the GAIN knob for each input channel. Adjust so the CLIP LED does not light up during the loudest peaks. The SIG LED indicates signal presence.
Why is the CLIP LED lighting up?
The CLIP LED indicates the input signal is too high and may cause distortion. Reduce the GAIN knob until the CLIP LED turns off even during peaks. If needed, engage the PAD switch to attenuate the signal.
How do I connect studio monitors?
Connect your powered monitors to the MAIN OUT balanced TRS jacks on the rear panel. Adjust the monitoring source with the front panel controls and the overall level with the MAIN OUT knob.
What is the difference between LINE and INST modes?
The LINE/INST switch selects the input impedance and sensitivity. Use LINE for line-level sources (e.g., synthesizer) and INST for high-impedance instruments (e.g., electric guitar). INST mode optimizes the input for guitar pickups.

Step 2: Controls

① INPUTS accept XLR or N" connections from microphones, instruments, or line level audio sources.
[3] P+48V switches turn on +48 Volt Phantom Power to XLR inputs 1 to 4, and 5 to 8. Carefully read your microphone's documentation before turning on phantom power, as it can damage some microphones.
LINE / INST selects line level or instrument level input source at the W connector. Select INST when connecting a quitar directly
4 PAD reduces the level of input signals from the XLR and W' Inputs. For example, this is useful if the XLR input is not from a microphone.
SIG LED indicates an audio signal is present. The CLIP LED turns on if the audio input signal is too high.
[6] GAIN knob adjusts the input level. Adjust so the CLIP LED does not turn on, even during the highest peaks.
IN 1-2 or 1-8 selects direct analog input sources 1-2 or 1-8 for monitoring.
5 STEREO/MONO selects stereo or mono monitoring.
MONITORING knob adjusts the mix between the direct inputs and computer playback: IN: only direct inputs (0 ms latency) MIX: 50/50 mix of inputs and playback from computer PB 1-2: only playback from computer
10. DIM switch reduces the MAIN OUT output level.
MUTE switch cuts the MAIN OUT signal.
12 MAIN OUT knob controls the MAIN OUT output level.
11 OPT I/O selects the operation of the rear panel optical and coaxial RCA I/O ports: SPDIF: Optical input S/PDIF 9-10, Optical output S/PDIF 11-12. Coaxial input off Coaxial output S/PDIF 11-12.
ADAT: (@ 96 or 88.2 kHz) Optical input S/MUX 11-14, optical output S/MUX 13-16, Coaxial input S/PDIF 9-10, Coaxial output S/PDIF 11-12. (@ 48 or 44.1 kHz) Optical input ADAT 11-18, optical output ADAT 13-20, Coaxial input S/PDIF 9-10, Coaxial output S/PDIF 11-12.
Caution: Do not change between S/PDIF and ADAT modes while operating your DAW / music program, because the UMC1820 does a quick re-boot. Close all applications before changing modes, and then wait until

the unit has been recognized again by your operating system before restarting your music application.

(14) PHONES source selector switch: 1-2: Listen to the stereo MIX signal channels 1-2 from the monitoring section. 3-4: Listen to the playback signal from computer output channels 3-4.
15 PHONES level adjustment. Start at minimum and then turn up to a comfortable and safe listening level.
16 PHONES 14" TRS stereo headphone outputs. 17 MIDI I/O LEDs indicates MIDI activity.
16 POWER LED is on if the power switch is pressed in and the unit is powered via the supplied power adaptor. +48V LED is on if either phantom power switch (1-4/5-8) is on.
15 POWER switch. Press in to turn on the unit. The POWER LED will turn on.

Rear Panel

POWER IN connect to the supplied power adaptor only. Connect the power adaptor to an AC mains supply that is properly configured for the unit. A cable holder above the input prevents the power connection from being accidentally pulled out.
USB type B connector. Connect to a computer USB port with the supplied USB cable.
(2) MIDI IN/OUT connect to external MIDI controllers and modules.
(2) ADAT or S/PDIF Optical I/O ports support S/PDIF, ADAT, S/MUX. Input channels are 11 to 18, outputs are 13 to 20. The front panel OPT I/O-switch ☑ selects the operation of these ports.
S/PDIF I/O ports: RCA coastal S/PDIF inputs come in from external sources as input channels 9 to 10. S/PDIF output channels are 11 and 12.
LINE OUT 3-10 balanced N° TRS outputs for additional monitoring and recording. The output signals come directly from the computer after being converted to analog by the UMC1820. The output levels are only controlled by the DAW.
MAIN OUT balanced 14" TRS outputs connect to powered studio monitors for playback and mixing. Adjust the source using the front panel MONITORING controls, and adjust the level using the front panel MAIN OUT controls.
