Compatible Interface for Behringer C2

[ColdPixel]

Total noob with microphones.  Buying my first non-USB/3.5mm microphone setup.  I want to use it to improve my conference calls (Zoom, Webex, etc.).  Sounds like the Behringer C2 is a good option.  I have read The Flying Sloth's guide, and he recommends the Behringer UM2 or UMC202HD.  Since the C2 is a pair of microphones, I am thinking that means I need the UMC202HD - which seems to have two XLR inputs on it - as compared to the UM2 which has only one.  Is that correct, or am I misunderstanding something?

 

Thanks!

Correct. You need the UMC202HD. But only if you need 2 mics. So I guess the Um2

UMC202HD is a much better interface than the UM2 or UMC22, I use the C2 as a daily driver and only use one at a time but if you did want to use both you could with the UMC202HD.

Thank you both!  I will get the C2 and UMC202HD then.  

 

For my own understanding, is there any benefit to using both C2 mics at once for video conferencing?  

 

Now the tricky part is finding anyone with either of these in stock.  Judging from Amazon data, seems like COVID has led to a months long stock shortage.

No,
As for stores, I usually purchase from Thomann
