Behringer's answer to the popular Scarlett series audio interfaces.
1,9 / 5,0 | 
The Behringer Dice 1U2 is an ultra-accessible USB audio interface, allowing you to record easily on a budget from the comfort of your home.
Just when you thought there were enough options in the budget audio interface market, Behringer has some other ideas. The new Dice interface is a straightforward way to get vocals and instruments recorded into your DAW.

Equipped with a Midas mic preamp, the Dice 1U2 allows you to connect any XLR-based microphone, while the TRS jack input can switch modes for guitars or line-level instruments like synthesizers and drum machines. Around the gain controls and phantom power button, there are useful LED indicators that let you know when there is signal present on a channel, clipping, or when the 48V is active.
The Dice 1U2 is a USB-C powered device that runs on macOS and Windows 10, giving you 24-bit 192 kHz recording capabilities. Meanwhile, for connecting your studio monitors and headphones, there is a pair of TRS outputs on the rear panel, and a dedicated stereo headphone input on the front.
Here, on this main control panel, you’ll also find the rather prominent monitor level knob, and there is a direct monitoring function, which is ideal for recording and streaming applications where you aren’t trying to align to the timing grid from a DAW.
Overall, the Dice 1U2 follows the Behringer philosophy to the ‘T’, targeting the most popular interface on the market and offering a worthy, affordable alternative. It’s unknown at this point whether an entire series of Dice audio interfaces of different shapes and sizes is in the works, but this certainly seems like the next logical step.
