All user reviews for the Behringer Tube Ultragain MIC200

Preamp tube or di computer with phantom power, several types of settings, bass guitar, vocal, valve, piano, etc.. With or without lamp and limit.

UTILIZATION

Very simple to use, but it should be understood that any effect requires some research and according to the goal we want to achieve. I used fx effect on a mixer.

SOUND QUALITY

I could compare by using the pre-amp and pre-amp without recording and listening with all my ears that will give a clearer sound and a slight distortion near the old tube amps that I used in my youth.

OVERALL OPINION

Since 2010.
I had a pre-amp Art, but I prefer the Mic 200, which is more to my needs and the color of the sound I'm looking for, I said it especially useful for the voice and the setting that suits me is vocal / warm.
What I like most is that it brings clarity and dynamics, for the price you can not ask for the moon, but set is a good tool for a home studio.
I would do this choice without hesitation. You can listen to recordings or I use this link: https://mourad.bandcamp.com/album/sur-la-route-des-d-cibels

What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...)
Lample, but mostly digital, the lamp is especially attractive to

What is the connection?
XLR jack

What are the effects or types of effects available?
Available preset, but frankly it especially nice to see that there really is no difference ...

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?
Very easy, entered a gain, a gain out

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
What manual?

Editing sounds and effects is it easy?
Bein ago presets, simply turn but hey, it's not very folichon everything ...

SOUND QUALITY

The sound of your instruments or your microphone is properly reproduced?
With C1 and bein the sound is like a C1: nase, but with microphones average, entry-level, it is not great ... there are a lot of breath anyway ...

The preamp is it clear or does it brings a stain?
So here it is quite clear, but colors on a bit, but is absolutely necessary to change the lamp base that it is useless ...

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
1 year

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Presonus Studio Channel, and there is no comparable

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The metal case is solid and robust ... if it is, the sound is not great, but it does what it should do the same, except that it is not very well ... I use it mainly for phantom power and low cut, more than preamp itself ...

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
For a reason not cheap, but if PSU frankly NO

tube preamp
connectors on XLR and jack 6.35, 2 in the IN and OUT

UTILIZATION

Very simple to use

SOUND QUALITY

I used this preamp to plug in my electric and my electro acoustic to my PC to my registration and use of VST amp simulators
Also used to connect my guitar to a mixer with a DJ for a wedding, the sound of the guitar was well

OVERALL OPINION

simple, easy, efficient and cheap

on the other hand, I used two, they have not lasted long

the first dropped overnight (hey it was plugged 24/24 AC)
the second comes from letting go while I débranchais systematically after use

Briefly, disappointed, luckily I bought them secondhand

This is a digital preamp. The lamp is a preamp, nothing to do with a tube guitar amppli example! It is only there to attract the public, and to the breath.

Connectors:
An input jack and XLR, as well as output.

There are several presets: guitar, vocals etc ...

UTILIZATION

We can not be simpler, you connect, and singing (or playing), not really need the manual.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it for singing, or an acoustic guitar. I have another preamp, Art in the same range, and the sound is essentially the same, but have not tried other preamps, I can not say if the sound is colored or not.
But the sound remains pretty decent.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months, and practicing home studio for two years, that's enough for now. Biensur, the sound must be processed upon registration to obtain a good rendering.

What I love most?

The price.

The least?

The lamp that provides only the breath.


In conclusion, if you start in a home studio, and you have a proper sound editing software, you can take quite a bit of this little amp! No need to buy a more expensive if you do not have mastered the use of plugins!

I'll skip a presonus blue tube, because it seems more reliable, and the sound is still much better. But if I had to go back, I would do without hesitation that choice!

We will not repeat all the caractéristqies is already done and done well.

We will be brief. As a preamp tube is not only brief but highly questionable: I confirm, we will soon look a little gain or even just in the output level, we are left with a put ... Mistral blast. Boring. No on / off button (and as stated by another post that's actually very boring) and the presets are more than "limited". Big and nasty noise rotators in the intermediate positions, a blow to screw up speakers or eardrums. In short: we agree, it's really borderline on the line.

But a phantom power costs 20 € and it mini € 35. It should be seen as a kind of DI box / phantom power and improved basta. This is actually how the vaguely positive opinion nly see it. It can be concluded that ...

UTILIZATION

Used mostly as phantom power

SOUND QUALITY

Mr. Behringer too much breath, breath too!

OVERALL OPINION

Perhaps it would be more judiceiux to opt for a model or at ART from PreSonus? So count three times as much (with ladle)

Small tube preamp AX17
Lightweight and very portable

UTILIZATION

Gain, volume and go

SOUND QUALITY

So already the different positions are not all useful.
sounds very weird out some selections.
are probably the most useful selections "warp" with the lamp.
Lamp must be replaced (easily) because otherwise it Mic 200 is useless.
The original lamp is a bugera sea .. that does not change between the neutral position and warp. When I see the lamp rotten, I dread to think the tube amp "Bugera" it is chilling.
I put in a lamp that I had overpaid (electro harmonix) is ideal to boost anything.
Now it should really be deaf not to realize the difference between before and après.C is a little warmer and more importantly it is musical, finished these sounds made in china.
Good must not imagine that changing lamp will turn your mic 200 in Avalon, of course.

OVERALL OPINION

Well me it helps me, when recording with lots of instruments and lacks a preamp for a microphone isolated hop is perfect and it's better than the preamps sound cards.
I use it on battery for the hi-hat, bass drum, bass, guitar (atmosphere only) and voice from time to time.
It really helps out.
And at that price
For what is beginning, one or two 200 mic boosted it cheap and it helps while waiting for the money needed for something else and it's better to plug a MIC200 of a sound card, as plugging in a of these tables on a behringer soundcard (its disgusting and too cold)

For once and especially useful once the behringer with good value for money

SOUND QUALITY

My first preamp used with condenser microphone Behringer B2 Pro.
I go in between my sound card online intgre nForce2.
With earnings well rgls j'obiend 60dB dynamic range sub Cooledit exploitable.
The 16 grains of preamp are significant but remains discreet. on the other hand we feel the diffrence with or without lamp.
The limiter in between-20dB compltement kills the sound.

OVERALL OPINION

Considering the price, was exactly what I expected to see better.
Trs good hard drive to record cheaply.

No effect here. This is rhausser the sound of a microphone jack electrostatic or acoustic instrument such as (then used as a luxurious box direct). The only treatment available is its prsence a lamp and the possibility of adding the "heat" your sound (for use with modration cons).
Connectors with XLR or jack, and two outputs simultaneously.
The bare minimum.

UTILIZATION

The use of this device is no longer simple. Just Necessary for rglages: level of input and output. Gnial The trick is to see the possibility of a direct viewmetre, the volume of the sound (and thus avoid the ridges). The prrglages (for voice, guitars ...) are trying, not always meet the adviser rglages default, there are diffrent colors of his position and each c is you ... The position with the "limiteru" are interested, has worked well. For my part, I never pushed the pots of levels del half. Ample and not breathing! branch live on my PC, it's nickel. The phantom power can be very useful for mircos (normal you might say). Terrible thing, too, is the possibility of couepr the low frequencies. You will be able to beat the time with your foot without the micro saves, good!
Forgets I?? phase inverter can If you're using multiple mics at the same time, the rgler bp different.
The manual is succinct trs but at the same time, there is not need more. We must try (even when there is 3 buttons, so do not push it either!)

SOUND QUALITY

Trs good quality sound at home. I use it live on my PC (Audigy sound card with PLATINUIM rack connectors). I have no breath. The button to cut the low frequencies coupled to the filter on my Submitted condenser microphone lets me not having a blast and noise indsirable. This box Fully meets its mission. The lamp is not always useful and even sometimes helps to give too much fullness or heat (its too deaf, trs not clear) but fortunately, a button will have a neutral sound if desired DIFFERENT prrglages and get completly different intensities.
Also, I use it away from my trs microphone and the housing does not make noise. was used to have on hand to view and be able to viewmetre rglages the door.

OVERALL OPINION

I for a month.
Trs satisfied with this unit. It in no way n'altre sound (exept the possibility to give more heat but is not really an effect in itself) and is even trs respectful of that. No breath, no noise ... for the price, what more?? For me it is a basic tool that does its job properly. APRS for more treatment of his functions, is trouner to something else, here it is only the minimum Sticta: Prampli. I prfre record the natural sound and process it to Cubase APRS. So the effects and plug-ins, it's not a missing and for me Rampla Behringer Fully function. I Rasht without hsiter and I advise all those not holding a consquent or who do not treat their source and require only a simple pramp

Techno hybrid.
Global Warming a lamp to the sound, a circuit to limit peak some signals and any of a stockade pramp suitable for use prcise (electric guitar, acoustic, vocals, etc ...)
48 V Phantom power supply, phase inversion, reduction of -20 dB in between if needed ... Ultra complete!
Jack connectors on symtriques or asymtriques, XLR.
No on / off button. It looks fairly sturdy, but not to drop his table in my opinion, in short, the Behringer.

UTILIZATION

Utilsiation simple as possible. You branches, it works.
The manual is correct, all piti, but correct.

SOUND QUALITY

Sound quality poustoufflante!

In parrallle on my Laney, archauffe sound (dj trs good). Absolutely stunning in the clean and crunch.
To mix a voice is just as perfect. It plugs are selected "voice", it is playing around with the gain and output level to find its dynamics prfre ... And there's more press Record. ..
A slight breath can be, but then I hear it.

OVERALL OPINION

Behrnger of the text.
We do not know if it's solid or not, we know that the coup must take care.
One wonders what was in the hands when you see the price we are being (very little) .. And rings, as it should.
In addition it is small enough to lug around on, and we will share it with his voice, his guitar, and all other measures of sound you want, even the percussion (larger interest of the option limit)

With the experience and gold coins, I'd make a reservation, the time was no more tomorrow.

-Techno hybrid
No-tural effects
Jack and XLR-between, can not be used simultanment

UTILIZATION

Gneral simple archi-config-volume gain + pitit hack out personal (phantom power, phase reverse ...)
Manual-clear surrounding the potential well of the BTE and its use

SOUND QUALITY

-Its perfectly reproduced with a little shade and more heat, I use it with an electric violin, and sounds really pure sound with a power mad, really gniale
Prampli plutt-transparent

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 1 year
most: simplicity least: may be too simple, but I do not ask him anything More than a amplification
I have not bought on the advice of a friend, who took time to find
impeccable quality price ratio, as often with behringer
yes I would do without this choice hsiter

Very good preamp a lamp, only one, of course, who does his job! .. INCREDIBLE for the price .. it gives a very good result on vocals and guitars, keyboards, or limited function ... This ensures MIC200! and despite the lack of inter-OFF, all held for 2 years .. A nice detail is the stand by Automatik; small LED indicate that the lamp is hot ... but a tip: use this ::;;;;;; after 10 a15mn heating .. good pedal studio (even live) a little prix.pour use a stereo, using the 1953 stereo rack .. very beautiful, with its retro VU meters, even more pointed and chaud.plus of Connectik too!

UTILIZATION

Carted and fell several times on the floor, the top of the amp. tj ok FIABLE.REGLAGES and simple, but precise, exactly what we asked this little box has a light and the fact .. HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICE ????? I know it's made in China deutsch and all brands, even korg, recently, are also .. what?

SOUND QUALITY

I do not understand the "cabal" that is on the mark .. probably the vrp or competitors jealous, who would do as well, and that price .. and spreading nasty rumors .. I defend DOMMAGE.moi BEHRINGER (no, I do not bump them!) I'm objective, and my slogan is: when it's good and reliable, why spend more ?????

OVERALL OPINION

Well, all is said + above ........... except one last thing: coming out simultaneously on XLR and jack, you get a pseudo stereo effect very powerful, or you feed your amp AND the table with the lamp .. or even 2 amps at the same time ... not that beautiful? and it does not blow. (or very little)

See site builder.
Two available outputs (XLR and jack): good for recording guitar (1 output "raw" to the recorder and an output to the effects for monitoring).

UTILIZATION

Simple, manual almost useless (just to see that the lamp is active only on the positions "warm" the selector).

SOUND QUALITY

- The natural light (position "valve") very good.
- The EQ-made: according to taste ... They may be practical to quickly insert into a mix. I personally do not use them.
- The limit is too heard the voice. To see a battery ...
- No breath (tested with micro static and dynamic).
- For cons: the saturation of the lamp gives a guitar sound awful and not at all musical!

OVERALL OPINION

Buy by mail a few months ago for use in home studio.

What I like: its natural and effective of the lamp, the two outputs.
What I dislike: the EQ, and limiting the lamp full.

Conclusion: quality / price unbeatable! Ideal in a small home studio setup.

- What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...)
Tube preamp or not if used according to the digital modeler

- What are the effects or types of effects available?
With a guitar, when you push the gain to 3 / 4 e we get more effect from the distortion and fuzz great for tapping or playing slipknot (with modélisatin E-GTR we have to heat the lamp)

- What is the connection?
XLR or 6.3mm Jack

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?
Very little tricky at first to find harmony between the knob of the amplifier, the gain and output volume but it is rapidly good result.

- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
Very, just push the gain to max.

- The manual is clear and sufficient?
Yes the 4 switch between the two knobs and their use are described and gives examples of uses. Not need more.

SOUND QUALITY

- The sound of your instruments or microphones is properly reproduced?
I have used with my guitar and there is nothing wrong over there

- The preamp is it clear or does it brings a stain?
It brings color, much is expected of the lamp with me playing on a small 10W Drive it day and night.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Since 2 days

- What is so special that you like most and least?
The effect grows when fain to max, it must be heard to be aware but it does not please everyone

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No it was the only one that offered custom model for each instrument. I jumped on it and I'm not above

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Exelente

- With experience, you do again this choice?
Of course

See below lol

UTILIZATION

Hello everyone, I just get this little preamp and am very happy jen ... after being very upset ..
Let me explain, I install, I test and .... A BREATH AMAZING !!!!!
I ruminate, telling me that I should have listened all those who recommended Mount to buy behringer ....
and, by happy coincidence, my livebox j'etains to see .... and NO MORE BREATH!!
and a great sound! So here if that can help .... qqn ULTRAGAIN c sympa / / / / off the wireless and satellite ...
a wise ...

SOUND QUALITY

See above lol

OVERALL OPINION

A little further up ...

Prampli lamp (apparently a 12AX7, Submitted on many pramplis).
more prrglages following the use desired. (Electric guitar, bass, vocals, keyboard ...) or not to use the lamp, or the amplification some simple circuit without the lamp and with the limiter.
Please note this is not a distortion pedals, too bad the sound is particulirement if you push too much "volume" of the lamp.
Between the level of either the jack or the XLR, do not use both at the same time.
on the other hand in output, the still Jack and XLR, which can be used at the same time. To send the sound to an amplifier for example, and to the mixer simultaneously.
MODEL non rack.

UTILIZATION

Level use, it's easy.
The notice is the reminding some important information such as the fact that one should not use the two inputs (XLR and jack) at the same time. The fact also that when the ignition module (by connecting directly to the transformer, no on / off switch), it is vrifier the volume knob is at minimum.
the volume left RULES amplification lamp, and the right RULES gnral the output volume. Given a nitre-in LED shows whether the output is saturated, it is imperative to avoid.
<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>In practice I could see that one can not saturate the output (in the green led) but the volume too pushed the lamp cr effect of distortion of the worst effect. So if you use the APRS pramp effects, although the clean sound Listen To verify the absence of distortion.</span>
Manual in several languages, also in French memory, read at least once.

SOUND QUALITY

For sound quality I would explain my dj use.
I use it with an Epiphone SG Special Cherry to make the sound via an EMU 0404 on my pc with Cubase and Guitar Rig 2. I suffered a big shortage of potatoes in between, so for me buying a pramp mandatory.
The sound is good particulirement. The pramp do what you ask him, he gives me enough of PCHE to have the best record with the effects without being forced to increase the gain in the software and thus the gnrer breath.
Speaking of breath, some comments about this pramp talk about it.
Indeed, the pramp gnre breath. especially if you abuse the output volume.
Apparently this comes from the electronic output, because the breath persists even if the volume of the lamp is ZrO.
In my case, I put the two-volume "9am", which is enough for me and allows me to avoid the breath that I mentioned.

You can also hear a lightweight bed if you change the "modeling" and the audio channel is active, but nothing serious on my ct is not a one that will blow pregnant.

Also note that for a given "optimal" I read on a site that had to wait about 10 minutes before the lamp is good and that temprature dlivre her best even .
Also avoid the plug and unplug often, only if you unplug the not play on for more than half an hour.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two days non stop, I think that report quality level / price, there is nothing wrong. There was less expensive and much less good.
I finally made a good quality for my compositions, and has a lot to pramp.
In the meantime can be to invest in a MODEL 200 the next time, if I evolve my home studio, and if my budget allows.

Pramp lamp (is it also useful to the lamp?) Modlisation (or ...), plutt equalizer pad, phase reverse, 48v power supply and low-cut filter. In short all that is asked a pramp but ...

UTILIZATION

Between static for voice, small compressor output (ART LEVELAR)

SOUND QUALITY

Yuck! I have for a while but I have been slow m'aperevoir it really silent chul deny ... I found my voice taken not terrible and I thought I had a microphone (a StudioProject B1).
What nni! Ds you push a little like asking bte most stuff lamp, and a saturated dgueu is neither neutral nor color ... yuck what ...

OVERALL OPINION

Not good ... its certainly a good prfrer trs prampli transistor (like M-Audio DMP-3) or an "expensive" pramp "true light" (like the Avalon ... but we not play the same course ...)

Pramp lamp with phantom power supply, and an equalizer.
2 inputs (XLR and jack)
2 outputs (XLR and jack)

nothing special, just what we need for this kind of stuff

UTILIZATION

There's three buttons, which does not serve me much, so yes, we can no longer simple.
The party is not qualisation I find absolutely nothing. Most sounds are inaudible IMHO. I leave still neutral, and it's not too bad.

I know even if there was a manual with ... If so there is nothing

SOUND QUALITY

For voice, it's not too bad, but I've heard better. APRS considering the price, do not ask him too either.
I plug my electro acoustic as above, and the sound is not too bad either, but far from a real pramp. It's the same for the price ...

The lamp gives it a tural coloration? I doubt it, I have the impression that it is a marketing effect, and I fell into it. I did not test pre-amp transistor, and may be make it better for the same price. A vrifier.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for about a year and a half.

I could not afford to buy a electro acoustic preamp, and I needed to catch his voice / guitar. So considering the price, I was very useful. Now that the Finance reveinnent, I'll opt for QLQ Spare to something that better sound quality.

I find the report qd same quality INTERESTED enough price for such product.
I would do if the choice? in the same terms financire that the era: YES. With a budget just a little wider, I think there are meiux.

Technology of modeling lamp with pramplis
Connection could not be more simple: between a jack, a microphone input and an output jack out.
Rack-mount model but not so small that there is no need to fawn all

UTILIZATION

Configuration gnrale trs simple.Il are 3 major modes of prmplis: Warm and Reduce Neutral.Manuel inutil is so simple.

SOUND QUALITY

I used these prmplis on my audio system for the sound of a lamp without buying apmli amp lamps too cher.Donc I pramplis 2, one for each speaker since it is mono.Le the sound is not bad at all for the price and the limit is ffective.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months is I bought especially for its report quality price excellent.Je ssay have no other model before this one because of all the other fawn taient Trops cher.Avec the exprience I would do this choice because the price is really attractive to a quality not really what mal.Comme Berhinger can make good products xD

Tube preamp
2 inputs 2 outputs
1 1 XLR jack for each

UTILIZATION

Just a knob of preset I leave mine on for really the valve's lamp (it is on that if you leave neutral on it is useless da see a tube amp)
need manual

SOUND QUALITY

I love me a lot on his
I m used to play live on a sound system with either an electro acoustic guitar or a bass. I do not poses major brand instruments can be and am not very demanding but its got me fits

OVERALL OPINION

I have the last 6 months
frankly I like the sound and simplicity of use
very good value for price
the default of c Berhinger is sometimes the reliability but not the switch no problem

Just to clarify on some previous opinions:

This preamp does not have a model!

knob on top is just an EQ preset selector for some common uses, nothing more.

no digital, no simulation, no treatment, it is not a distortion either, just a preamp + EQ presets.
It is not much, but the purpose of a preamp is to do a few things, just

I've never had a desire to breath with.

further details

it's not really a preamp tube!
amplification is performed by transistors, then the signal passes through a light, because it makes good marketing side.
a reminder, a bad tube amp will always be much worse than a good transistor amp.

as what you buy to not be disappointed or hurt to use it.

UTILIZATION

Simplified Deployment and classic for this type of box.

SOUND QUALITY

I've never used before other preamp, so I only compare with what I heard of tools or micro connected directly.

- Repeating: It gives the gain and clarity to the voice connected to the console. ideal when you have a config in a place not so good not great. mic-> preamp-> console.

- In making sound: SM58 or static-> MIC200-> sound card, clear voice and warm, it's enough to largely non-pro recordings. the result is very nice.

- Involve yourself: electric guitar or bass -> MIC200 -> table, it gives a more clear, more defined, more comfortable and warm.

edit:
I bought a m-audio DMP3 (same price if we take into account that the DMP3 is Stereo).
it's really a cut above the MIC200 (its much more accurate and clear).
I keep the mic 200 because they are quite practical, and always useful to power a condenser microphone, or to walk around without fear of damaging them.

OVERALL OPINION

A very good buy (especially considering the price!) Which is used everywhere (repeated and sound recording voice / guitar / bass).

it is certainly the low-end preamp, but it is a big step forward compared to 'nothing'

I'll probably take a second.

(Re) warning against all advice below is not a device modeling!

edit: bought second
I use it in order to retrieve a guitar amp with two microphones.

- What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...)
Pr-transistor amplifier has a pass through a lamp to warm up the sound

- What are the effects or types of effects available?
Unlike what Behringer says there is no modlisation (see Previous notice) but
a qualisation

- What is the connection?
2 XLR and 2 Jacks 6.35

- Is this a rack or rack MODEL?
Format pedals, not rack

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
Branch and we play it, nothing too much complex

- The edition of sounds and effects is it easy?
Idem, turn the two knobs for rglage sound input and output
and we select the qualisation according to the DSIR we obtain

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Full manual but useless

SOUND QUALITY

- The sound of your instruments or microphones is properly reproduced?
yes, a bit too much ... Fidler and the sound is not what I was looking

- The pre amp is it clear or does it brings a stain?
Pr-amp the transparent qualisation is low, I do not normment of diffrence between each pre-select

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I've had barely five days, and I realize ds as possible
This product does not match my expectations

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The product looks really solid, iron box, power supply (9V request of the pedals - 1.3 ampres)

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I possde a Samick (pseudo) electro-acoustics (microphone and a volume knob and tone, no pre-amp Intgr)
I bought it because I was looking for a pre-amp to embellish the sound of my guitar direct recording console. I bought it by following the advice of Audiofanzine

- How do you report qualitprix?
Trs qualitprix good value, it's Behringer

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
I do not absolutely spit on the product, but I bought a DI of Samson, if I had not bought before Berhinger, I would have kept, but the product does not match my expectations (pseudo improve my guitar sound) I'll bring ds as possible.
In résumé is a good product, no breath, no sound and CHRE. I think the trs qualisation low and it's a bit of a me. If you are looking for a DI, take the MODEL MIC100 or Samson I found less CHRE.

For the price it is very correct microphone and instrument
The preamp makes it clear or does it stain?
No and Yes it depends on the gain and volume setting Audible, I change the lamp and it changes it can become more of yesteryear intérésent for making voice and intrument it is modular

OVERALL OPINION

In this price range is one of the best
