1. INTRODUCTION

With the MIC100, you have purchased an extremely musical mic preamp that is equipped with a 12AX7 vacuum tube. An integrated limiter, a phase reverse function, phantom power supply, a highly accurate LED meter and a switchable pad function complement this powerful device.

1.1 The design concept

The heart of the TUBE ULTRAGAIN is an extremely low-noise microphone preamp circuitry that uses discrete components and produces a highly trans-parent sound. In combination with our BEHRINGER tube technology, the operational amplifiers 4580 and a sophisticated circuit topology, the TUBE ULTRAGAIN yields excellent noise and distortion properties. The innovative UTC circuitry that has been developed by our engineering team offers an abundance of sound-shaping possibilities. Absolute musicality was our major goal when we designed the TUBE ULTRAGAIN. The result is a device that, thanks to our tube circuitry, lends an incredible punch to percussion instruments. On the other hand, instruments that are rich in upper harmonics will receive more transparency. The sound will be warm, detailed and brilliant.

Surely you know the recording problem that single instruments or vocals sometimes don’t cut through. Thanks to the TUBE ULTRAGAIN, vocals gain in presence and volume without masking other instruments. As a result, your voice will be perfectly integrated in the mix.
