Behringer DICE USB Audio Interface
The Behringer DICE 1U2 is a compact 2-in/2-out USB audio interface built for home studios, singer-songwriters, and mobile recording setups. A Midas-designed microphone preamp with +48V phantom power handles condenser and dynamic mics, while a switchable instrument/line input covers guitar, bass, or keyboards. 24-bit/192 kHz conversion captures every nuance, and direct monitoring eliminates latency during tracking. Bus-powered over USB-C, the rugged metal chassis travels easily between studio and stage.
- Midas-designed preamp with +48V phantom power — capture studio-grade vocals and acoustic instruments through a single XLR/combo input.
- 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion — high-resolution audio capture that preserves transient detail and dynamic range.
- Direct monitoring with zero-latency performance — hear your input signal in real time while recording takes.
- USB-C bus-powered design — no external power supply needed; one cable handles both data and power.
Behringer DICE 1U2 USB Audio Interface — Compact 2x2 Recording
The Behringer DICE 1U2 is a compact 2-in/2-out USB audio interface that brings a Midas-designed preamp and 24-bit/192 kHz conversion into a pocket-sized chassis. Built for solo artists, podcasters, and home producers, this unit streams audio to macOS and Windows over USB-C. The Behringer DICE 1U2 is the right choice for musicians who want studio-quality recordings without rack-mounted bulk.
What Sets This Interface Apart
Inside sits a Midas-designed microphone preamp — the same circuit family found in Midas consoles. The +48V phantom power switch powers condenser microphones, while a separate instrument/line input handles guitar or bass. Direct monitoring eliminates software latency during tracking.
Inputs and Outputs — Flexible Signal Routing
A combo XLR/jack input plus a 6.3 mm TRS jack handle microphones and instruments. Two TRS monitor outputs feed studio monitors; a front-panel headphone jack with independent level serves performers.
- Inputs: 1 combo XLR/jack + 1 × 6.3 mm TRS jack — mic and guitar simultaneously.
- Outputs: 2 × 6.3 mm TRS + stereo headphone jack — monitors and headphones at once.
- Connection: USB-C, bus-powered — one cable for data and power.
Audio Quality — High-Resolution Conversion
Audio is captured at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz, giving producers headroom for editing and mixing. The single Midas-designed preamp delivers transparent gain for condenser and dynamic sources. Switchable +48V phantom power activates condenser microphones.
- Sample Rate / Bit Depth: up to 192 kHz / 24 bit — wide dynamic range.
- Number of Preamps: 1 Midas-designed microphone preamp — clean, low-noise gain.
- Phantom Power: +48V, switchable — powers condenser microphones directly.
Monitoring and Build — Zero-Latency Tracking
A direct monitoring switch routes input signal to headphones with zero software latency. Status, Signal, and Clip LEDs give instant feedback on levels and phantom power. The impact-resistant metal chassis survives transport between studios and remote sessions.
- Direct Monitoring: zero-latency hardware monitoring with dedicated level knob — real-time input.
- Status Indicators: Status, Signal, and Clip LEDs — at-a-glance level feedback.
- Chassis: impact-resistant metal housing — survives transport.
Number of Channels: 2
This product has two channels, giving you the flexibility to connect two audio sources at once. This configuration allows you to combine different instruments and effects, enriching your sonic expression and giving you more variability.
Number of Preamps: 1
Equipped with a high-quality preamplifier that delivers clear, detailed sound from a single input channel. Ideal for smaller recording applications where you need to capture sound with minimal noise and maximum quality.
Phantom Power: Yes
Phantom power provides the necessary voltage for condenser microphones that require an external power source to operate properly. This power supply is built directly into the microphone input, eliminating the need for additional power supplies.
Bit Depth: 24 bit
The 24-bit depth provides significantly more dynamic range and detail than standard 16-bit recording. With 24-bit depth, you can capture finer details and wider dynamic range, perfect for professional recording, mastering, and applications where accuracy and sound quality are critical.
Inputs
- Combo (XLR/Jack)
- Jack 6,3 mm
Outputs
- Balanced Jack 6,3 mm TRS
- Headphone Jack 6,3 mm
Headphone Output: Yes
The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.
DA Conversion: Yes
DA conversion allows digital signals to be converted to analog signals with high accuracy. This process ensures that digital audio is reproduced with minimal distortion, preserving all the fine details and dynamics of the original sound. Thanks to high-quality DA conversion, the sound is clear, rich, and true to the original when played through speakers or headphones.
AD Conversion: Yes
High-quality AD conversion ensures that every detail and dynamic range of analog audio is preserved when converted to digital form, ideal for professional recording and production. This allows analog sound sources such as microphones and instruments to be accurately recorded in digital systems.
