All user reviews for the Behringer Tube Ultragain MIC200

- 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.

UTILIZATION

Using very simple

SOUND QUALITY

The sound of your instruments or microphones is correctly reproduced?
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

Transistor preamp with a small colored light, the famed 12AX7
Model not rack, square format
Selector "grain" with or without lamp, eq fixed
Phase reverse, phantom power, pad and low cut
Small LED VU meter
Input: XLR or Jack 6.35
Output: XLR AND / OR Jack 6.35

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, large knobs specifically adjustable (fortunately, see next §)
Manual very clear to the uninitiated, useless for others!


SOUND QUALITY

I do not like the sound reproduced, cold, dull and rough. I do not feel the "warmth" of the lamp. Moreover, how a pre-amp powered 12V can operate a lamp that requires anode voltage of over 200V (unless you go through a booster circuit voltage, which will bring noise, blast and deterioration of the signal)? ?

I said happily as knobs can be set precisely, because I have big problems to breath. I was able to optimize the signal noise by looking for a specific position. The output volume knob varies greatly around the 15% of its course, and there begins a nasty breath ...

I recommend the equipment connected to the inputs low.

Finally, the rotary switch for selecting eq causing serious Plops between two contacts, which, when amplified, are a threat to the hardware and ears ...

OVERALL OPINION

I was using my microphone input sax active search for a small stain that I never really achieved, apart from a stray breath!

I tested other preamp rack of Behringer. Some are better, but nothing more.

The big minus: the breath

Value for money?
- I'm not satisfied, so it's always too expensive for the quality achieved!

With the experience I would buy anything but that.

Tube amp - I / O XLR / Jack - 16 nice filters (including attenuators, voice, guitar, bass, percussions ...) - small box that takes up no space - alim. phantom deactivate - 20dB-based, low cut, phase reverse. housing quality.
There is a Knob to settle the floor of amplification of input and another for output. We can have it both to find the best configuration.

UTILIZATION

Configuration could not be more simple SAR. A knob to change the filter, button to activate the phantom power, the 20 db attenuation etc., very easy to use. I attack with a sound card creative blaster audigy soud on my pc fixed and as a base map in a laptop.

SOUND QUALITY

Shure SM57 microphones test with (dynamic) and apex 435 (electro static), making his guitar and percussions fields.

It is first necessary to avoid significant noise to push the mic preamp 200 and not the sound card! It is obvious, but if you do not do it you can not get good results ... whatever your preamp, unless they have a superb sound card, which is not my case.

Results: With the SM57, I paradoxically better sensitivity than the apex and I do not need to push the amplifier stage input of a lot to get a good recording (without significant noise): Floor of input and output 3 / 4, c is very well not need to have stuck the microphone (50 cm well). With the apex, on the other hand I need to push down the "input stage and not that of out to get an equivalent result in terms of signal to noise ratio than the SM57. We must be more cons by near the apex, about 20 cm. In either case if you play hard you can be quite far apart.

OVERALL OPINION

The sound is very correct, the noise level remains well below the level of registration. So for me it is a good product because it plays its role perfectly.
I am a little disappointed with his behavior when it is coupled with the apex (in almost all or nothing: you must push down the input stage), but the apex is a good microphone first prize (very good value prices elsewhere) and can be is what makes the difference? may be changing the lamp will be better?
Anyway I am impressed by the quality of recordings. For those who hesitate, you can go there with my eyes closed!

Hello,

Lamp circuit prampli base, makes it a Mic 100 with a garland.
Connectors XLR and 6.35 in / out.
There are 16 pRSET, two are used for voice, the others I do not know what they do.
This is not a model that has Rackable.

UTILIZATION

Everything is simple too simple.
A manual unnecessary.
The edition sounds? Just a button slectif effects ditables not, lol.
Manual useless.


SOUND QUALITY

The sound of microphones is DIFFERENT as microphones and voice, I would say it serves food and doing his job prampli's all.
Have fun on the legalization of other peripherals such as a console or a compressor.


OVERALL OPINION

Past 6 months, I use very little, even compared my Presonus and another great product TUBE ART Studio V3 that I recommend widely.
Pros: very little, a housing metal, a retro look, as if trslger very empty.
Cons: the price for it in just for the money, it really is that power your mics and static capacitors.
Behringer played much in common regardless of the range, but here, no I do not do it again this election. A simple gal

...

UTILIZATION

Everything is very simple.

SOUND QUALITY

He brings a little color, a bit of additional fishing (attack) on micro, with gloss.

Attention, it does not heat the fat of a tube amp or high average range.

Little breath. It allows you to make recordings without computer music particular breath. Not bad at all for its low price.

I put a 7 / 10 as very proper for the price, but it is also a low-end amplifier in terms of pure performance.
(I would put a 9 / 10 for value for money).

Vince.



OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it? 2years.
Did you try many other models before getting this one? at the time not.
What thing do you like most/least about it?
The +: the selection function of source type, with the possibility of selection (normal, warm, limit): the "warm voice" is interesting for the song.
What is your opinion about the value for the price? Very Good.
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? I do not regret my purchase 2 years ago, although today I switched to a higher-end amp (hardly comparable).

(Originally written by SlapKid/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Very convenient, when it works.

Especially for electric guitars like in my case.

Phantom power required with my red Behringer DI (the model with speaker cabinet simulation). You get every function you need and the format is very convenient.

Preset EQ also very convenient and all the more so as it has a neutral position...

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use and very versatile. In my case:

1. Between my distortion/FX and a characterless amp (e.g. Valve Junior) via the red ULTRA-G DI. It's like night and day, the sound becomes warm and spicy (valve preset). With the same configuration but with a power amp instead you get a master volume and the presets become very useful.

2. In a passive FX loop before the amp with distortion. The goal is to keep the signal as pure an clear as possible (it passes straight through) and to get the distortion of my choice with the MIC200. So the MIC200 only works in distortion mode. It doesn't really affect that much but enough to give most distortions more presence and warmth, especially if you use digital distortion pedals.

SOUND QUALITY

Until now I haven't noticed any noise with guitars, it only enhances the sound and I've been owning it for 4 years.

But its small knobs begin to generate noise and I will have to spray them... But I guess that's normal after 4 years.

I bought a second one which only worked 3 weeks... Typical Behringer!

So buy it in a real shop near you because the price difference could turn into a quick profit...

OVERALL OPINION

Advice: don't think it's a guitar distortion because it's not conceived for that. The input impedance doesn't match a guitar signal (a DI box is required) and the preamp is pure solid-state and "heated up" in a second stage. I guess...

I like this unit very much. It's very useful for my needs but next time I will buy something from a more serious manufacturer. And I will probably choose a stereo one even if it's more bulky.

This MIC200 is a nice little beast.
