"Incredible sound, unbelievable value (really!)"

Feature:
I really wish this thing had some MIDI, but at the price for which it sells it would be unfair to mark it down for lacking it. I really like the "ease of use" that the FCA202 has. No fuss, no muss. Just really, really great sound.

Quality:
A sexy, sturdy box, good connectors, but the volume control feels a tad bit cheap. No big deal, but since everything else is so perfect I notice this little quibble now and then.

Value:
I think this Behringer audio interface is a dynamite product, with really unusual value for the money. I know this seems like some kind of adoring, "fan club" kind of review, but I swear I am actually very hard to please. The FCA202 just really works well, and it sounds terrific. What more could you ask?

Desirability:
This thing is the answer to my prayers. Getting good, really reliable, high quality sound on a Windows PC is hard. The FCA202 delivers. I will consider other Behringer products in the future simply because this one is so great.

Sound:
This thing is The Bomb. My God, does it sound good. It's just so accurate and transparent. And the noise floor is so low that you can't even tell that it's on if there's not something playing! NOTE: If you're using Windows, the FCA202 has to have XP! I made the mistake of buying it, so it sat on the shelf for a while. But I just built a new XP machine, and added this into the mix. Wow, am I glad I did. The FCA 202 is really easy to install, and it SOUNDS WONDERFUL.

Ease of Use:
Mentioned above. As long as you have XP or Mac OSX and Firewire, I just don't see how you could go wrong. This is different, because lots of times audio cards are tricky and aggrivating to set up on PC's. That's just not a problem with the FCA202, at least it wasn't for me.

Support:
Not known. No support was needed.

"good sturdy live soundcard"

Feature:
not much really , just firewire cables.

Quality:
metal case , very sturdy! will hold up to my treatment

Value:
at this price its a good live soundcard.but thats all , not very good for mastering / mixing or recording .

Sound:
i use it for live playing. has a decent latency and sounds ok for live use. hence the balanced outputs aswell. i suggest you get smth else if you are going to use it jut for home recording / mixing / mastering , like a m-audio or a presonus.

Ease of Use:
installs easier than some of my old pci boards and pretty easy to use. no rockett science here.

Support:
not yet
