TUBE ULTRAFEX T1954
1. In audio systems for announcements and background music, the TUBEULTRAFEX is placed in a similar
way to recording and tape duplication - directly before the power amp. The intelligibility and range of your
system will be improved and the sonic image will become clear and transparent, even at low volume levels.
Problems caused by background noise fluctuations, room acoustics (reflections), and speaker setup can
be solved more easily.
For instance, in discos or clubs you do not need to constantly readjust the high frequencies as the place
becomes increasingly crowded; you will be able to protect your speaker system and the hearing of visitors.
Background music in bars and restaurants can be heard easily. It does not annoy your guests because its
volume had to be turned up too far.
2. The sound of any P.A. system will be improved by using the TUBEULTRAFEX. For example, the vocals of
music groups or speech transmissions will be considerably more transparent and intelligible, the instru-
ments can be distinguished more easily. The bass will gain in depth and power.
3. The TUBEULTRAFEX will increase the speaker systems acoustic performance and its ability to penetrate
a room, particularly in places with difficult acoustics. The system also needs less effective amplifier power,
since the subjectively heard volume level increases. Powerful and detailed sound reproduction can also be
achieved in weak systems.

3.7 Sound Enhancement in HiFi and Video

Of course, the BEHRINGER TUBEULTRAFEX can also find applications in the fields of hifi and video. The unit
is simply placed between the signal source (cassette recorder, tuner, VCR etc.) and the power amplifier. We
recommend using the tape monitor inputs most pre-amplifiers provide, thus the TUBEULTRAFEX can be
switched into any signal source.
4. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

4.1 The BEHRINGER TUBE ULTRAFEX ...

sincreases presence and transparency. The program material will sound lively and natural again.
simproves the intelligibility of speech: voices become clearly articulated, text easily intelligible, the transpar-
ency of the vocal increases.
sprovides a distinct sound improvement, particularly for instruments played in a percussive style - slapped
bass guitars or drums will sound incredibly funky.
sprovides better stereo imaging: the sound becomes more differentiated, the positioning of the speakers is
much easier, yet the signal remains fully mono-compatible.
sdoes not require any decoding process, since sound enhancement with the TUBE ULTRAFEX is not cre-
ated independently of the signal itself, and remains available even during numerous processing or copying
stages. Even digital recordings or CD replaying will gain from the use of the TUBE ULTRAFEX.
sincreases the listeners awareness. Even with low sound pressure levels, the TUBE ULTRAFEX avoids
listening fatigue.
sfinds useful application in hifi systems by providing better resolution of the sonic image, due to its suitability
for the studio and its outstanding specifications. In particular, the processing of old analog recordings
(disks and tapes) proves to be very efficient with the TUBE ULTRAFEX.
sproduces a more powerful and fuller bass which does not sound muddy. All recordings will benefit from the
dry and precisely defined bass contouring.
sproduces an improved spatial enhancement and stereo effect intensity with the Surround Processor without
audibly colouring the sonic image.
