All user reviews for the Behringer Tube Ultragain T1953

Trs simple device, no need to be electrician to use it!

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, and complements. Just turn the knobs, that's all ... No edition of the sound, not a synth!

SOUND QUALITY

Dj I left a notice a few years ago on this unit. We "beat", figuratively speaking with other owners on issues dtail. I wanted to rcemment Sparer, finding an ART MPA II Used, like new! Before changing the lamps of ART (the indoor ones are the original ones), I told myself that I did not risk anything to try to see in the Behringer ... Well unlike what I expected (that is to say that nothing happens!), the sound I exploded in his face! No more saturation, a softer sound, all frquences spend much clearer in the treble are more "aggressive" as with the original lighting Behringer is any, even when the artist breathes or is tired, and there is no breath! (I use plutt in "line" for Global Warming my mixes and reading my mp3 stored on the hard drive, the MP3 BUY I prcise!). Do not put the Electro-Harmonix, Sovtek too close, and sometimes even factories in the same factories, put General Electric in 1957! So suddenly, no desire at all to sell the T 1953, I care not prcieusement! Try and come talk to me! You will be surprised!

OVERALL OPINION

So, I stand by what I always said Behringer makes good products, but want to sell too cheap, the German company is deprived of a true success! Just change the lights from all their devices, and you end up with about the results that can compete with the top brands! One wonders then why Behringer is essential lamps too cheap in its devices, as plutt to lamps with high quality appliances in more technically can reproduce the nuances!

UTILIZATION

Extremely easy configuration gnrale.
Easy to use.
Manual clear.

SOUND QUALITY

His correctly reproduced.
Adjustable color transparent trs hot.

OVERALL OPINION

= 1 and use wheelbarrows
= The least well known, branded by some purist dnigr (live avalon ..., lack a good compressor (like a tla ivory 5050 for example ...)
The more simple, fast, efficient, prcis, hot when it should not CHRE, ultrabeau, ergonomics / touch enjoyable (notched pots).

There is everything you need on this double pramp a lamp. Visually damn good and logical.
mic / line, phantom power, gain, phase, pass up, and fader levels of the lamp was injected.
Same for the connections. It almost what branch you want (XLR / Jack) in and out.

UTILIZATION

This preamp is perfect for beginners who want to understand "how it works"
Well the little "VU meters" are rather vague but it's behringer ... And it's good.

SOUND QUALITY

What can I say! the price should not expect big sound very flattering and warm Avalon.
Having said these preamps are better than my mackie (1604VLZ) it must be said that despite what people say I have been trs deu ....
Sound lights to bring a little something flatteuret hot but hey it's not ecstasy.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year. It is enjoyable to watch, however I bought it with closed eyes (lol) (considering the price).
The report price is exellent quality.
I do not resell because in some situations it is good enough. I Permata to save money by waiting a nobler model.
That said I would do this as the first choice model.

Double lamp preamp with phase inverter, MIC / line, high-pass filter with freq dbrayable adjustable
gain, sending rate of the signal lamps

UTILIZATION

Using ultra simple

SOUND QUALITY

Useful to raise the level of a signal line and the Global Warming, but not too much, because it blows a little when even ...
for pickups, it does its job, nothing more ... the phase inverter can be useful for such a snare ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 2 years
+: Price, simplicity pramps 2, if used discrete low
-: High breath, to saturate an unusable signal (ultra aggressive and not musical)
for me when he first pramp even made a lot of services, but I become more difficult over time ...
for the price, seems to me a hard to beat, or so secondhand
this award must not be expected even when one of his mad

As usual.

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple, ultra-convenient.
Between choice of mic or line, phase reverse, high-cut filter, there is nothing wrong!
The function pramp is really good, no saturation

SOUND QUALITY

The quality for the price is really good. Any substance, but is saturated in the normal ranges of use, the trs pramp is good, large pottards, are practical and desing. The "heat" of the lamps is of course too, It's been a really nice effect p'tit.
Personally, I use it on as Amp Live Microphone. When I miss a few EHJV, hot, in a stroke of T1953 and insert the round is played. We have a well pchu without loss of quality.
In short, a good trick simply and efficiently.
Something even when the lamp is simulated lighting sucks. Aesthetical and I do not like it. I'm going to disassemble this thing useless!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years and especially live. Not used in Studio.
If you have any problem earning chants of mics, I recommend the object! For a few euros, you get something pro style that will give you great sound.

Pramp a lamp

UTILIZATION

Hyper easy to use, of course

SOUND QUALITY

Its rather transparent

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years - I had lots of pramplis the studio ... frankly it's really good value - it is not a trademark by its trs lamps ynammoins but the small warming that will sound good!
In fact, I thought to keep in troubleshooting but it has been forgotten in my studio - and I RALIS a pack of discs with ... I would certainly Deputy good microphones (Neumann U87, Sony C48, AKG ...)

- It's a beautiful object, enjoyable to handle and look - trs connector complte
- The "Warmth" is not effective

Double preamp a lamp 2U rack. gain, low cut, 48 V power supply, ...

UTILIZATION

Using super simple, turn the knobs and away you go.
simplissinme of simplicity!

SOUND QUALITY

Preamp bright and clean with no real color or blast a correct level.
(The lamp was not used much in fact)!

OVERALL OPINION

I possde for a year soon and I must say that I dpanne well. this is not the ecstasy of the great preamps, but for the price it is not what is asked.
the lamp was not used much, I even asked if she was not there to look pretty when I realized she silent illuminated by a light bulb derrire. (Open you will see ...)
but hey, I bought it because his eyes closed quality ratio is unbeatable prices and would recommend it to anyone beginners in the sound.
but over time it gets tired ... it evolved.

in short, a superb machine for beginners and start working in order to buy then rolls the preamps. behringer thank you for this platform.

Stereo preamp tube, rack 2U, phase inverter, power supply 48 V. .. the whole shebang is there ... nothing to say.

UTILIZATION

Config child, you plug it up the gain, it adjusts the output level and go ... easier it would be too simple ...

SOUND QUALITY

In terms of its not bad ... better or worse than anything else eventually, but a little warmer than average. Vote on it is very interesting because it gives the body without saturating the signal and without using compression. Frankly nice ... on acoustic guitar, not super confident, I'm not a pro mic placement but I think a compressor is somewhat lacking in order to "smooth" the signal a little and not get too much treble. Reprise guitar amp very well with a SM57 or two using the phase-out position of one vote. Made it very dynamic.

OVERALL OPINION

For the price no complaints. This is a good product but not at more expensive products like Joe Meek and Presonus, but the color is unique and can be exploited, especially for the price. If this is your only amp, I suggest you rather see in a presonus blue tube or the Joe Meek ThreeQ (a killing in its class but rather typed). The difference is more pronounced compared to pre your table. Or invest in a compressor and an external EQ which will be very utlise to rework the sound before the taking and bringing the best signal to your recorder. If the color noise speak to you, not against by hesitation, it will be useful for stereo jacks and will in any case a slight step up from your preamp mixer (The transformers used for the T1953 are larger bcp than for a table and then the signals are more subtle transcribed)

the pramp brings a little color (Warmth background), but no more, no matter what.

At this price, do not ask for the moon

OVERALL OPINION

Pramp has a particularly pretty face but her ct, he works too timidly.

It dpanne until something better ...

Everybody knows! ...
I am not pro and I can not pay me tips from the pros so I'm rather a Behringers!

UTILIZATION

The T1953 is an analog prampli lamps rack (2U). It has 2 channels with adjustable sparment in between sheets and output jack and XLR. You can choose between a level of line or microphone level rgler of micro, if necessary to 48V phantom power, Inrush a low-cut filter which is adjustable frquence thanks a potentiomtre, rgler the output level and the prsence lamps.
A really complete tool!

UTILIZATION

Its look, in addition to being attractive, is functional. One can well do without the manual! The VU meters are prcis and apprciables and the LED peak in both input and output. The rglages are also.
I use it for both guitars, drums or voice.

SOUND QUALITY

The quality is good and the trs prampli is transparent. The use of lamps is against me got too subtle! We do peroi the Difference on DJ tools for completeness in harmonics (guitar and snare drum below). on the other hand, with a good vocal mic, no change was felt!

OVERALL OPINION

This is the first prampli I have, but that could compare with the digi002R, I consider it worthy of use. I use it recently prs 2 weeks and I Fully satisfied, apart from the lack of prsence lamps! Otherwise, its look and its lments prcis and Varis prampli make this a complete and enjoyable to use.
When the report qualitprix, it is as always with Behringer exellent!
Finally, even without exprience, I made this choice two times and do not regret it. But if I'm in a more professional, and I have money, even when I direct my choice to a more upscale MODEL. However, I must admit that this rack is as versatile trs used both scne in the studio! Trs a good product.

Good rack, that can heat up and boost your catch .. the sound of his lamps (y 'has one, but it is operated.) Is really detectable, and it brings a pro has records that without it would be a little "cheap". really nice in this price range.

UTILIZATION

The price is very attractive for this type of rack, only default, a slight wind, but we can reduce the noise gate.

SOUND QUALITY

I m (use it mainly for the catch of his guitar and voice. I find it very good, and the difference with or without is really gross!

OVERALL OPINION

Recommend, even to use a "sharp". and avoid too long to leave it plugged in if not in use because it tends chauffer.il must be said that the lamp requires a large power supply. that the more one tends to smooth and beautify the sound. OK then! and I think the look is really great. but how are they in behringer?

Preamp tube and transistors (for floors)
BlaBlaBla ...
Kan even a pretty face

UTILIZATION

Easy if it works!

SOUND QUALITY

Unable to test the lines CHANNELS my opinion is restricted and nil for the warming expected micros.Simplement CHANNELS (with lights) and a rather discet my gout.Je note 5 to give the average.

OVERALL OPINION

I received yesterday, he returned demain.Il not working position microphones, phantom power supply does not feed my microphone CI Beringer (live on my table "phonic 1202" the microphone is powered), so damage in of microphones and CHANNELS Food phantome.Il has a look and c all I can say plus.Decu I am, there was only one in stock and c grrrrrrrrrr for my apple! So I flip on "presonus blue tube DP". Beringer Sorry but working sound with a preamp nine who only works 50% of its potential c not really the goal.

Prampli microwave instrument (2 slices), 2U. 2 XLR mic level inputs, two line-level jack. Same for both outputs.

The floor of the microphone amplifier transistor and boosts the signal of 10 60 dB.

Then there is the Tagus line level is 12XA7 lamps. Can be assayed participation in the signal lamp circuit.

There is also an adjustable high pass filter, whose slope is not prcise.

Indpendantes phantom power, phase reversal.

In short, everything you need for a pramp, right?

Attention, he looks to build it, so I do not get out of my room to take him in concert ...

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use. The buttons are plastic, but are notched, is enjoyable. The meters are mainly for the dcoration, however, because they are not prcis trs, but it does not matter as long as Lumire "peak" function.

The manual is minimalist, it's true that I see some tips AIM, not just a description of the buttons, plutt useless.

SOUND QUALITY

I t trs impressed with the quality. In fact, this is my first pre-amp. Before, I used pramp my sound card (Edirol FA101) which are of good quality. This camera gives me a real bonus: I can push the amplification of the micro base without hearing of breath.

I find it trs transparent, but it is not the opinion of a pro. I use a condenser microphone with lamps, and sockets are really gniales.

APRS there are the lamps. I t's to beginners, because I thought they did not add much to the sound. I have exchange with JJ, and it's really better. By injecting a healthy dose of his lamps (too), we get a nice sound rtro.

Otherwise, as direct box is perfect. Plus the color of lights as an option ...

OVERALL OPINION

This is my first preamp, so it's not the opinion of a pro. All fawn, this machine is not for pros: it is unnecessarily large (for cons, look great), full of small Lumire around just for decor, it is pleased t fragile ... Another thing, it's infernal disassemble. Just to change the lamp, you really have any dsosser.

on the other hand, for the price, I think we have a great sound, which adds a real bonus compared to preamps Intgr capture cards or mixers. I really hsit with the blue tube prsonus, but it is more expensive, and opinions are no better on his lights, then ...

I would do this choice, if I had to do it again now with my current exprience. If ever I start big projects, may be I will be aiming at the top, but for now, I was going well trs.

on the other hand, deprecated for rooms or RPET especially concerts: it is too big and too fragile.

The preamp is transparent.

OVERALL OPINION

Used the last 3 years = RAS
price / quality ratio = perfect
- With experience, you do again what choice = YES

Integrated Circuits + color lamp at the end of string.

UTILIZATION

Easy and effective manual correct.

SOUND QUALITY

For me it's a bit special I used this preamp in original configuration in which it provides a very decent value for money, nothing to say.

In a second step I practiced over radical change: change of the whole chain of integrated circuits, all the coupling capacitors on the amplifier chain and relamping of origin by LPS Sovteck 12AT7. From this moment it is really clear in his Versailles (face value 800 euros) in the lamp is better but still somewhat artificial or even useless.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years with a modified year. My favorite is the result after the modif.D original value for money is very honest after modification it is amazing.

A phantom power supply with double prampli and "light" but if the rest of my post.
I will stay reasonable in the notes ... But I think no less.

UTILIZATION

It's ok. Very easy.
If only to serve sth.

SOUND QUALITY

L is complicated.
In matters of pre amp it's his office.
But for the "lights" I cry fraud.
With the lights of origin, only adds a breath.
I disassemble chang by Russian lights and you realize that has not change since in fact the lights are bright chimres by small lamps that are Derri re well aligned to make us believe that they work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

I am not an anti behringer, I have the right stuff them, but it is not good!
Thank you for taking us to the fruit.

If you want a neutral pre amp is ok (but there's cheaper and better) if you are looking for lamps, flee.
For my part, I kept two days.

OVERALL OPINION

One has the impression of being taken for a c **...
Behringer, good and not so good ...
The TUBE ULTRAGAIN T 1953 is not classified in the right.

(I reu my ART MPA GOLD Pramp is something else ....)

Technology lamps, efficient, unlike what we read below!
(Can be a bad or poor SERIES device, or possibly even the ears that do not peroivent dtails, music, high noise level makes it a little dull, especially if it's been a while one in fact!) This device can be designed in micro-prampli, (I found it a bit "dry" when same), as pre-amp "line", and attention! It is the first lamp that I put in my studio APRS have long turned numrique transistors and, believe me, I saw the Difference! Back rear appears to me as possible, Dornava ...
XLR Connectors and Jacks, In and Out

UTILIZATION

Configuration gnrale simple but complte, do not bother to have a gas plant which can not be used here, you just turn a few knobs, listen, and according to his rgler sensitivity ... The manual is in French sr.

SOUND QUALITY

Note: This prampli, efficient, however, will provide color in mdiums and treble, it is necessary to know, so you have dosed her SETTING THE Manir that the lamps (as they s 'clairent, must have had lctrophones lamps like me to confirm play their rle without changing overall record custom settings (I use my models for Global Warming).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years, no problem, I have not tried other models of lamps, yasr better, but this product is a good product trs, contrary to advice previous ones, which fortunately, I ignored when I bought. exprience with two years of use, yes, without hsiter, I do it again this election, and IS Behringer offers better one day, I'll at least try, then I'll see what I do, but if it really is better, certainly j'achterai.

Analog preamp vacuum tube
low-cut filter, phase reverse, +48 v and dosage of the "effect lamp"

UTILIZATION

A preamp is all there to be more simple, when you buy a product like this, we should have aucunne issues regarding the use

SOUND QUALITY

Here I want to make a point, the most curious of you auron removed the hood and will appercus that lamps do not light up for themselves ... it is actually deuce small filament lamps that are placed just behind that give that impression. recess, impossible to do if you do not remove the cover ...
So here, this is not a surprise to have seen a preamp tube "avalon" "dbx" "studies" (very good brand, or at least very expensive ") lamps are not much light is on! but in no case does this mean that the dedant mounted 12AX7 are fake, he is a visual effect for a little flatter our oeuil amateur Aguer. Now back a little to the technique with a little logic:
if the lights are there only to flatter the aesthetical, they are certainly a source of Energy consumption and especially heat inside our preamp! So remove them can only be beneficial to the preamp! and besides, it makes the replacement lamps for neck or other signs that light up our instruments and that's really useful!
beyond this detail is a preamp to match the price, it is pretty good, yes, the button "Warmth" adds little to interressant

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year
I am happy after all, is a relatively effectively and reliably for me
I had to try OCASI dbx, Studer, and Autes avalon (drawer etc) and the small-Chinese allmano doing well for a price that leaves me even better now!
I do it again this choice

2-way 2-way lamp circuits for input harmonics.
Full connectivity, XLR jack, XLR, jack.
can enter and exit XLR jack and vice versa, interesting, right?
gain settings, phantom power supplies, inverters phase, adjustable high pass filters, regulation of levels of output regulation of the level of harmonics by the addition of circuits lamps.
2U

I put 10 because nothing is missing!

UTILIZATION

Using very simple, very complete facade, a rarity in this price level.
the manual is useless.
I put 10 because here again, the device is absolutely complete.

SOUND QUALITY

First Quality: no breath.
The preamps are quite their job, with good headroom. They accept very nice to be saturated when searching for vintage sounds.
I have read several times that 10 times more expensive equipment sounded better ... Frankly, I hope for their owners this is true, if not, why?
As for the T1953, I bought it after having been appreciated the quality of the T1952, gate / compressor of the same series.
It is true that behringer has produced some machines avoid, because they generate the blast or even in the saturation settings means and therefore are simply unusable, but having said that, I find completely misinforming absolutely defamatory trials on machines that hold the road, just because behringer produced them.
in short, the sound is transparent, this machine does what is asked without polluting.
10/10 son-reglages/prix for the report.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year.
performances are compared with the preamps of my D32XD.
The sound is a little warmer, a bit less chiseled than the latter.
Is what I would do this choice? Yes, absolutely, again, in nine the T1953 is sold cheap, and says now more than 100 euros OCCAZ?

Scam prampli lamp while it is not the case at all!
there There's everything you need but just for the proposed models!

UTILIZATION

BEHRINGER BEHRINGER is therefore important to look for quality but fair price and for the price it has cost what it looks normal!

SOUND QUALITY

For a small home studio was worth it but not for a specific project for commercial purposes.

OVERALL OPINION

For a small home studio was worth it but not for a specific project for commercial purposes.
Do not buy! does not add to people looking to make as profit on the backs of people who have no budget consquant

Pramp lamp (12AX7). Those behind the camera quipent are Sovtek.
To get everyone in agreement, the lamps are beautiful and well clear of two bulbs. This is ridiculous and unnecessary.
The machine is equipped with a low cut (or high pass) that I never use.
There's also a knob "Warmth" meaning assay the contribution of the lamps. Not obvious at all. It Ramna more dirt than heat.

For all those wondering how to open it, it's not as complicated as has looks.
It must first remove the 3 referred to the unit each cot. And the two on top and two at the top the rear. Then you must dclipper the hood from below.
To change the lamps, has no use none of disassemble. Once the cover removed simply bend the small tabs to DGIG lamps. As it has said will take me for a crazy but you will understand once you see the indoor.

UTILIZATION

Trs trs simple to use and solid unlike its competitor BLUETUBE PreSonus.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is rather dry and bland. I tried it with Sovtek and Electro Harmonic and changes nothing.
It lacks taken heat for voice or guitar. More precisely it lacks serious possde a bump in the acute-mdiums.
Cot and its the same price range I prfre BLUETUBE of the Presonus.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years.
I also possde BLUETUBE PreSonus two best I think. Warmer and more color. In addition they are 8 times smaller than the T1953 which is full of empty.
I use also an Art MPA gold incomparably better but more expensive.
I used the T1953 only when I have no choice. But it is even better than the pramp McKie table I use.

Park against the manufacturing quality is remarkable is the Costeau.

The features on this unit are great

Price paid: 100.00 USD

UTILIZATION

The Tube Gain 1953 is a very user friendly device.

SOUND QUALITY

This low cost "Mic Pre" really sounds good. I add warmth to your vocals without over coloring of the sound.

OVERALL OPINION

The fit and finish of this unit is up there with higher priced mic pre's. I'm not sure about the durability of this unit, as it went staright from the box to my rack.

I am really impressed with this entry level mic pre. Do I love it? Nah however I am in extreme like with this joint. It gets the job done what more can you ask for.
