Overview:
Tubes can really warm up a signal fast, giving it depth and character. The two-channel BEHRINGER PRO MIC2200 injects your sound with this timeless tone in preamp, line driver and DI box applications.
Put a Little Tube in Your Tone
- The BEHRINGER MIC2200 is perfect for studio and live applications. The balanced 1/4" TRS and XLR inputs and outputs give you maximum flexibility in either scenario. It derives its personality from a hand-selected 12AX7 for superior sonic character and low noise operation. The MIC2200 is great for adding a bit of “spice” to the sound of standard digital recorders and computer soundcards. And thanks to onboard +48 V phantom power, it can also add warmth to condenser mics.
- For further tone conditioning, the MIC2200 features a fully parametric EQ with adjustable center frequency, bandwidth and level per channel. Channels also feature a phase reverse switch.
Vintage Sound, Modern Value
- The MIC2200 gives you the sound quality of a vintage tube preamp at a mere fraction of what a true relic of the 1960s would cost. At a price this low, you owe it to yourself to find out where the MIC2200's real tube tone can take your sound.
Features:
- Ultra-low noise discrete microphone/line preamplifier with hand-selected 12AX7 tube for ultra-musical sound
- Mic input stage based on discrete, conjugate transistor pair circuitry
- Ultra-wide bandwidth from 10 Hz to 200 kHz for “open” sound
- Integrated fully parametric EQs with dedicated center frequency, bandwidth and level controls
- Independent line driver for converting -10 dBV into +4 dBu pro level
- Soft-mute +48 V phantom power to avoid switch-on thumps
- Fully tunable and switchable 12 dB high-pass filter
- Switchable phase reverse for correcting phase-related problems
- Accurate 12-segment LED metering for output level
- Servo-balanced inputs and outputs with 1/4" TRS and gold-plated XLR connectors
- High-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction ensure long life
- Conceived and designed by BEHRINGER Germany
Front Panel Features:
1.) This +48V switch activates the +48V phantom power circuit that uses the signal leads to supply condenser microphones with the required operating voltage
2.) Use the MIC/LINE switch to toggle between MIC and LINE modes
3.) The MIC GAIN control is enabled in MIC mode only and allows for applying gain from 10 to 60 dB to the input signal.
4.) The CLIP LED signal that a level of at least +18 dBu is present after the microphone amp stage
5.) With the PHASE REV. switch the input signal is reversed in phase by 180 degrees.
6.) When the high-pass filter is switched on (LO CUT switch pressed), the FREQUENCY control defines the filter's cut-off frequency.
7.) The LO CUT switch activates/deactivates the high-pass filter
8.) The FREQUENCY control is used to select the frequency to be modified
9.) The x 0.1 switch lowers the working range of the FREQUENCY control to 10-200 Hz ,so that you can process the bass end of the audio spectrum
10.) The x 10 switch raises the working range of the FREQUENCY control to 1-20 kHz, so that you can process the treble end of the audio spectrum
11.) The BANDWIDTH control determines the slope or quality of the filter
12.) With the LEVEL control you can set the amount of level reduction/gain applied to the filter.
13.) The EQ IN/OUT switch activates/deactivates the parametric EQ
14.) The OUTPUT control raises/lowers the output level of the device by a maximum of 20 dB .
15.) The OUTPUT LEVEL LED chain displays the output level within a range from -30 to +18 dB.
Rear Panel Features:
16.) SERIAL NUMBER : Please take the time to fill n and return the warranty card within 14 days after of purchase.
17..) FUSE HOLDER / VOLTAGE SELECTOR : Please make sure that your local voltage matches the voltage indicated on the unit.
18.) MAINS CONNECTION : Use the enclosed power cord to connect the unit to the mains
19.) AUDIO IN : These are the audio inputs of your ULTRAGAIN PRO.
20.) AUDIO OUT : These are the audio outputs of your ULTRAGAIN PRO.
