Behringer MIC500USB Tube Ultragain

Tubes can really warm up a
signal fast, giving it depth and
character. Though transistors have
succeeded the technology, many
musicians agree that tubes deliver
a far superior sound. The TUBE
ULTRAGAIN MIC500USB's handselected
12AX7 vacuum tube gives
everything from microphones to
acoustic or bass guitars that vintage
tube vibe - in a dependable and
ultra-aff ordable package.

The MIC500USB is perfect for studio and
live applications. The balanced XLR and
¼ " TRS inputs give you maximum fl exibility
in either scenario. It derives its personality
from a hand-selected 12AX7 tube with UTC
technology for superior tube character and
low-noise operation. The MIC500USB is
ideally suited for use with standard digital
recorders and sound cards, imbuing signals
with the warmth, presence and classic tubecompression
that will bring your digital
tracks to life.
The incredible MIC500USB's controls consist
of: switches for +48 V phantom power, 20 dB pad, Phase Reverse and Limiter; plus
vintage-style Gain and Output knobs. An 8-segment LED meter provides accurate
monitoring of output levels. And when used as a high-end DI (Direct Injection) box
in the studio or on the stage, the MIC500USB delivers fl awless performance and
outstanding signal integrity.

To help you get the most from your new
MIC500USB, we've provided 16 unique
preamp voicings that cover a wide range
of applications - including vocals, acoustic
and electric guitars, bass, keyboards and
more. Options include: Neutral, for a
more natural sound; Warm, for adding the
warmth typically associated with analog
signals and vacuum tubes; Warm + Limiter,
for additional warmth when working with
high volume levels, sounds with frequent
signal peaks, or directly recording an
instrument with a mic (e.g., drums); and
Limiter, for adding density and a consistent
output level of all notes/sounds below clipping.
Although these voicings have been optimized for specifi c sound sources, feel free to
experiment - you just might fi nd that running vocals through the Warm E-GTR setting
is perfect for your project. The amazing MIC500USB opens an entirely new and exciting
world of creative possibilities!
