I've just started out with setting up recording equipment, so I'm a newbie with this type of configuration. Thanks!

Generally, you're going to need some kind of studio monitors. Try looking around on Amazon for that.– LinuxiosJul 8, 2016 at 4:50

The Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD has 2 x 1⁄4 inch TRS output sockets(L/R).
You need monitors for a start. Studio monitors are basically speakers with a refined, flat response i.e. a clean sound.
Studio monitors are usually self-powered, so you wouldn't need an amp. Self-powered monitors are called 'active' monitors as opposed to 'passive' monitors.
There is a huge range of studio monitors from budget to over-the-top expensive on the internet. They will usually have XLR or TRS input sockets, sometimes both.
You will need a lead with a 1/4 inch TRS jack on one end and [whatever input connection your monitors have] on the other end.
There are other questions on this site that may interest you. Check the list to the right->.

Just out of curiosity: what would happen if you connected a passive speaker? Would their typical 4-8 Ohm impedance short/overload the output preamp? (I guess obviously it's protected against that, but will it disengage?)– Sz.Dec 8, 2021 at 20:44
