Supporting 24-bit/192kHz high-resolution recording with a 114dB dynamic range, the UGM192 captures every detail with exceptional clarity and accuracy. It allows you to connect both an electric guitar through its dedicated Hi-Z instrument input and a professional dynamic or condenser microphone through its built-in microphone preamp. Thanks to its compact size and USB-powered operation, the interface is ideal for musicians who want a reliable recording solution without carrying bulky equipment.

Key Features

The UGM192 combines professional recording capabilities with impressive portability. It includes a Hi-Z instrument input specifically designed for electric guitars and basses, preserving the natural tone and dynamics of your instrument. A dedicated microphone preamp with switchable 48V phantom power supports both dynamic and condenser microphones, making it suitable for vocals, acoustic instruments, podcasts, and voice recordings.

High-quality 24-bit/192kHz AD and DA converters deliver accurate sound reproduction with a 114dB dynamic range, ensuring detailed recordings and clean playback. Whether you’re recording demos, podcasts, or professional music projects, the UGM192 maintains excellent audio fidelity with very low noise.

A built-in line/headphone output allows for real-time, zero-latency monitoring while recording, enabling performers to hear themselves instantly without distracting delays. This feature is especially useful for singers, guitarists, and live streamers who require precise monitoring during recording sessions.

The interface connects through USB-C while remaining compatible with standard USB 2.0 ports. It is USB bus-powered, eliminating the need for an external power supply. For mobile applications requiring additional power, such as when using condenser microphones with phantom power, an optional micro-USB power input is available. The interface is also class compliant, allowing plug-and-play compatibility with Windows, macOS, and many USB audio-compatible smartphones and tablets.
