The Behringer LINE 2 USB Stereo Interface Cable is a stereo interface cable featuring two mono 1/4" jack to USB connectors and a 2m length. The LINE 2 USB Interface Cable connects your keyboard, drum machine or other stereo line-level signal directly to your computer. This interface connects seamlessly with Windows PC and Mac operating systems and is ideal for use with low latency ASIO drivers for PC and the built-in Core Audio drivers for Mac. The LINE 2 USB works with virtually all 32-bit compatible recording software including Avid Pro Tools, Ableton Live and Steinberg Cubase, so you can record tracks directly into your favourite DAW. It supports both 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sample rates.
The main features of the Behringer LINE 2 USB Stereo Interface Cable include:
I bought this product as my Behringer Eurorack 2004A mixer doesn't have USB connectivity, but I needed to record to a laptop. Connecting the cable to the mixer's main output and into the laptop's USB port, it is doing exactly what I needed it to do. I just had to alter some sound settings within the PC (the mic level is quite high so may need to be lowered) and make sure I was recording two channels (the default setting appears to just select one).
The only thing I've noticed is the blue LED on the USB end of the cable is rather bright, so if working in low light, you may want to cover it it up! Apart from that it is working very well and I would certainly recommend it.
Bought to record line level outputs on mixer.
Build quality is better than expected. But had a few issues getting it to work for the intended purpose.
Only one channel works on ASIO drivers. Stereo works fine on WASAPI (Win10/Reaper), with 5ms latency. Very high amplification before ADC, and no volume control, so NOT suited for line level signal like mixer output. With line level signal the ADC clipped at even the lowest volume. Because of the low price, I modified the inputs with an attenuator in each jack, and it now works fine with line level signal.
Without modification, it is probably best suited for mic or hi-Z guitar.
