All user reviews for the Behringer Tube Ultragain MIC100

It is a tube preamp
it has a phase reverse, limiter and of course a phantom power supply.
can enter and exit XLR or jack.
as is a small box, it is not rack

UTILIZATION

Simpler, we can not, you plug and it works, it lacks an on / off button but hey you can not have it all.
I use it just for the phantom power supply and it served its purpose.
The manual is clear.

SOUND QUALITY

I have often heard that there was breath and well with this box, I do not even know what the word means breath: there is not the slightest breath coming out, even the sound of back of my sound card is gone!
So, I'm an angel, that stuff is perfect!
for coloring, I do not know because I never used my microphone no.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had four days.
the +, simplicity, and (for me) the quality of its output
the - for what I did, no -
this is my first model but is excellent value for money, to do over time.

So I do it again because this choice for the price, the result is!

This is a prampli lamp (12AX7) trs simple.
A gain knob, a volume knob and basta.
Some slecteurs: high impdance, fantme 48V power, phase reverse, limiter.
A saw-nitre basic constitution of 8 LEDs.
1 analog input jack or XLR 6.35 mm.
2 analog outputs can be used at the same time, 6.35 mm jack and XLR.
It is a compact and autonomous which is not intended to be mounted in a rack.

It's simple, intuitive, it works.

UTILIZATION

There is not really need a manual but it is more than enough.
The rglages are trs simple: just turn up the gain while monitoring a saturation possibly using leds green, orange and red (classic). The output volume is adapted according to the gear which is what derrire prampli.
Ultra-simple really.

A small regret: a saw-nitre latrale situ on the face and not on the face of suprieure Casing prfrable t have to be able to see the level of by far (I play several meters of prampli).

SOUND QUALITY

I did some quick tests on voice and acoustic guitar, using a condenser microphone: sound is trs Fidler, clean and warm plutt.

- Gain between 60% and 70%, 50% volume, I found the texture of my guitar with a nice range and roundness. The rhythmic trs go well, the sound is robust without being too heavy.

- Gain 75%, 50% volume: it was round and a lot of saturation in the low lgre on the voice. The blues of my guitar solos are superb.

In both cases, not a pet of breath. A real heat and grain. A lack of brightness is emphasized: the sound spectrum is somewhat diminished in agus, but it may be to my microphone.
For cons, the limiter tends stifle the sound, avoid.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it today, even I have no regrets.
I use it to record acoustic instruments (guitar, violin) with the following configuration:

condenser microphone T-Bone SC400 => Tube Mic Ultragain 100 => PC Card => Cubase SX

In short, as "low-end" cheap but a report qualitprix unbeatable.

Rsultat: I get a real acoustic sound, with heat, some prsence and grain, Fidler and clean (no breath, no cracking). Without touching the EQ and effects, it is good. Not at the same level as a professional studio, although sr.

The report qualitprix is ​​amazing, I do not understand some opinions prcdement destructive read: either there was a manufacturing default, the string sound is silent Designed wrong. But in my case, for recording acoustic instruments in my home studio, great!

I put next to the 10/10 prize: one should not expect Rolls for 60 ...

Versatile tube preamp (12AX7) for condenser microphone (there is a phantom power) and dynamic as also functions as direct box: ie of an XLR input to an output jack or XLR input jack of course.
knob a gain, an output.
No effect but a very useful limiter, 20dB pad, phase reverse.
A sound processing for I quote "give more heat to dull recordings sound cards"

UTILIZATION

Very simple: plug in, play niaah
Trees easy to adjust but the problem is not to lose its volume settings when the scale and imprecise (no real value markers on pots, count the lines is not practical ..).
The manual is useless so it's childish

SOUND QUALITY

I have not had time to push back the test but I was very pleased with what I could do for now (making a voice for a whole song and a few test recordings guitar): He brings a warmth to the voice that I liked! very happy! As for the guitar because the sound is richer and warmer, also clear.
Not breathing, background noise or hum!
Lack can be a bit of color (especially a grain)

OVERALL OPINION

The most: the quality / price ratio, the heat of her, the versatile side, simplicity
Cons: sempble me a little weak, All that's missing is the modeling of his little brother Mic 200 (but hey nothing beats its own settings for those plant ..), while the bulk remains less The same lack of ON / OFF button (it should pull the plug to turn.
But for now I am very happy with my achat.Rest still one last point, I think this preamp is rather intended for the home studio to the stage (not robust enough for my taste).

Hello!

Using Ultra-simple, perfect for the neophyte, as the pro.
The sound tube is always enjoyable. I change the lamp Sovtek 12AX7LPS (ECC83), (incidentally very correct) that this preamp original team, against a rare ECC803S TELEFUNKEN, the ca gives impetus and gain on the voice.

UTILIZATION

I made double use of this preamp:

1. Preamplifier for my B42 Melodium, but the problem input impedance of the preamp is 1 Mohm is far too high for Melodium which has an impedance of 50 ohms, if a pipe qq!? or I'll hack the entrance to the preamp with a set of resistance.

SOUND QUALITY

2. I use 78's acoustic before 1925, on a plate which KoolSound nicely with a Shure M78S, sound recordings before 1925 had no correction, as to who the RIAA was created for LPs in 1953, and 78 rpm records from 1925 to 1953 Electric had a correction, which differs according to the editors and years, a hundred different corrections!
So I associate the linear tube preamp + a + ADC equalizer studio denoiser (DNR)
It gives a convincing result!

OVERALL OPINION

If not for the price nothing to say! after all depends on the use made of it.

If you have ideas, I'm interested!
cordially

Amp transistors with a lamp in the signal used in sub-scheme (flat starved
/ Starved filament)
48V; pad; limit; phase

UTILIZATION

Simplicity itself. Gain knob, knob output. One dose of color.

I used the voice of most of the time (Neumann KMS 105 microphones, Audix OM7 various Behr, T.bone SC1100), but also bass, guitar, violin, piano, drums.

SOUND QUALITY

Ah ah ah, there it thickens. it's 3 or 4 years that I have the bug and now I have invested in a sixQ of Joemeek, I begin to understand the importance of this small Behr.

If you do not have a preamp and you have used to attack your sound card directly, this little box is a great step forward. It will allow you to adjust the level. That said attention: the color is very pronounced. I did not realize but there is always a small distortion not bad ... On the voice side it gives a rock that suited me well ...

... but the big problem is that the sound is not working: most of the cuts sound exaggerated and EQ tear the ears (see my component "upon my skin") in the acute ... When I got my slice JOEMEEK I had a big blow blues: my sounds were less sharp and less sharp than the Behr. In fact, everything seemed smoother, more accurate, which in my case was a problem. But I've rediscovered the joy of sound that can hack after the catch, and there are miraculous pluggins (Voxengo Lampthruster, Voxformer, harmoniEQ, Waves SSL4000 or even for those who have no morals).

OVERALL OPINION

Conclusion: less than € 50 this preamp very largely justified its purchase, one can draw a lot if we try a type, almost too colorful "lights". But if the precision is missing (this is not always the most troublesome in the filthy rock), it is mainly the lack of versatility is missing after a few months or years of use.

Anyway, thank you for this product Behr allowed me to record songs much fair game, to many scenes with a very very decent quality for 50 € ...

UTILIZATION

Bought used without the manual but it is super simple ...

SOUND QUALITY

With the original lamp, the sound is ultra-transparent, one finds almost no heat lamps: Too bad. saturates at a 3 / 4 gain. The original lamp is not bad for a color lgrement bass amp transistors or to the taking of a man singing badly studio grs it lacks personality.

APRS have it plugged into a guitar with a light grip on my sovtech vieu JCM800, this small box becomes prampli / overdrive with a nice 70's trs. aadj many more characters and saturates one third of the gain.
It will try that with a lamp that rises over the gain to see what happens. ds as possible I would test with a lamp that warmer does not saturate to test its capabilities in clean ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 15 days for Russia to understand what I'm going to make this prampli.

I like the simplicity of this box. I have an old amp peavey 200h pramp which is ultra cool. This preamp will allow me to add a tint "lamp".

I bought it used less than 15 euros shipping and power supply included. So what is the price is a bargain.

I do not really need a pre amp first set. But this has taken the same I would do certainly BTIS.

UTILIZATION

Very simple!

Turn the knob to rgler gain and volume, and buttons for options.

SOUND QUALITY

He brings a lot of heat when I use it with my bass (Fender PB) and not make trouble with the lace sensor and the pearly gate of my Start Plus Deluxe.
But admont all when I plug my upstream Marshall pedals (compressor, reflector, supervibes, Jackhammer and blues breaker).
The avantege is that I can get the gain without saturation, that's what I was looking for.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months!
I have not tried other model because I bought used to make me a versatile amp.
Trs good report quality price.
This is a great product to make an amp without ruinner house.
I make a box clot (wood) with an HP 35l carvin PS10 (10 ") spcial bass (also secondhand), for the amp is an amp qualizer 10 bands for 4x20W car manufacturing in the 70 (very good quality and given), is your exact Bluff.

Preamp Tube 12AX7 as written on the News
Connectors XLR or Jack 6.35mm

UTILIZATION

Easy to use

SOUND QUALITY

Here is the real subject, it is a preamp that costs about 50 €, and I have a Joemeek Joemeek SixQ ONEQ and which obviously cost much more.
The microphone input are: APEX 435 or E935 Seinnheiser
Hardware output is: Compressor / Expander DBX266XL, M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8R.
Result (Experiment 3 years and 4 albums CD): Compared with Joemeek, I can do as well with a little more heat, and it bothers me because the price is not the same.
No breath with the PAD-20dB, the correct dynamics, no saturation by adjusting the output gain at 3 notch from max, and a sufficient power level.
So, I'm amazed, I even pushed the deputy to integrate 2 in a 19 "to have them available in my lap Samson, and according to the grain of the singer's voice (Waitress) I chose a Joemeek or Behringer .

OVERALL OPINION

3 years
See above
Value for money: well, excellent
Yes, I would do this choice!

This is a little one channel tube preamp made by Behringer. There are no effects other than gain and a built-in limiter. There are a couple other features though. There is a 20dB pad in case you have a very hot signal that is clipping even with the gain all the way down. There is a switch for phantom power for condenser mics. There is a switch for phase reversal if you are doing multi-miking or stereo miking. Then there is a switch to engage the limiter if you want it. The gain is controlled in two stages - a tube gain stage, and then an output stage with another 10db of gain and attenuation down to 0. The connections are XLR mic connectors. It is not rackable, it is a small table-top preamp. It is powered by a 9V wall wart plug.

UTILIZATION

This preamp is very, very easy to use. The controls are very simple so you pretty much just plug it in, decide which features you want engaged, and fiddle with the gains from there. The manual does explain everything it can do, though there is not much documentation necessary because the device is pretty simple.

SOUND QUALITY

This preamp does color your sound a bit, it's not a very transparent pre-amp. It seems to make things sound a little bit crispier and thinner. It sounds pretty good for electric guitars, but not so good for something that is generally more full featured like lead vocals. Overall I was impressed with its sound considering it's from Behringer, but you definitely don't want to use this on anything with a wide frequency spectrum because this will mess with the sound too much.

OVERALL OPINION

I used this at a studio about a year ago. I liked what it does to electric guitars, it definitely helped the sound for the track we were recording. It made them more raw and present. I don't like what it does to most other sources, because the coloration usually seems detrimental. I have used a lot of preamps. This one is very cheap, so if you want a starter preamp and you'll be recording a lot of distorted guitars, you may want to consider this one. I wouldn't buy one for my own.
