   Thanks to
Jeanette and Fons for their help.  Now please one more
 question: I've
 got two such 3.5mm jack stereo microphones:

 Yes, I know, it's cheap and maybe not very high quality, but it suits well to
 my needs of simple home made recordings.  Do you think it's suppported by the
 Behringer UMC404HD?  With a proper adapter, is it possible to live
 record using
 that microphone and that audio interface? 
 You'd need 4 Phantom-Power to Plugin-Power adapters, like the
 Røde VXLR+.  That would be sort of defeating the "cheap" aspect.  You
 are probably better off getting something like a Zoom H2n recorder and
 use that for creating a four-track recording. 
 
 Just to stress: the plus sign in Røde VXLR+ is not optional.  There is
 also an adapter called just VXLR and it does not convert the phantom
 power to plugin power, working only with microphones containing their
 own batteries. 
Isn't it possible to switch off phantom power on the Behringer
interface? On many such USB devices I've used, phantom power is an
option, not 'always on'
