TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC200 Welcome to the BEHRINGER family! Thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing the MIC200. Your MIC200 is a professional mic preamp that can be used in a variety of applications. [. . . ] The 20 dB PAD switch reduces the input sensitivity by 20 dB (switch pressed). Generally speaking, lowering the signal level in mic applications is not recommended. No matter what your application is, the clip LED warns you to reduce the gain setting to avoid distortion. This +48 V switch activates the phantom power supply for the XLR input. Press the LOW CUT switch to eliminate undesired subsonic noise, such as floor rumble. With the PHASE REVERSE switch, the input signal is reversed by 180°. Use this function in a multi-microphone setup if you detect phase cancellations in specific frequency bands. The OUTPUT control governs the output level within a range from -oo to +10 dB. If the control is turned all the way to the left, there is no output signal at all. The more the control is turned to the right, the higher the output level. The PREAMP MODE rotary switch gives you a wide selection of preamp presets. The options available are: WARM, WARM/ LIMITER, LIMITER and NEUTRAL: 2. CONTROL ELEMENTS 5 TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC200 WARM (moving clockwise, starting at 9 oclock): These settings make sense if you wish to add that typical warmth associated with analog signals. KEYB: E-GTR: VOCAL: VALVE: For electronic keyboard instruments of all types. Warm, analog tube sound. WARM + LIMITER (moving clockwise, starting at 12 oclock): Use these settings when working with high volumes or with sounds with frequent signal peaks, and if directly recording an instrument with a mic (e. Piano/grand piano. LIMITER (moving clockwise, starting at 3 oclock): Select these settings if you wish to use the limiter function without adding tube warmth. Neutral limiter setting. NEUTRAL (moving clockwise, starting at 6 oclock): These settings are ideal for neutral and natural sound reproduction without limiter and without tube sound. CONTROL ELEMENTS + TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC200 Since presets cannot cover all possible applications, experiment with different settings until you find those that work best for you. Think of presets as the starting points for your sound configuration. 2. 2 Rear panel Fig. 2. 2: The rear panel of your MIC200 The balanced 1/4" TRS INPUT of your MIC200 can be used to connect your electric guitar, for example. This input is wired parallel to the XLR input. + Ideally, the balanced XLR INPUT should be used to connect a microphone. In contrast to its outputs, the MIC200s inputs should never be used simultaneously!
