Behringer T1953 TUBE ULTRAGAIN Tube Microphone / Line Preamplifier

The art of combining audio purity with warmth!
If you have a passion for audio purity, you also know how important the first step in the processing of a microphone signal is. For truly natural sound, you need a perfect combination of high-quality microphone and preamp. In developing the TUBE ULTRAGAIN Behringer applied all the experience they've gained in the past 10 years. The result is the best preamplifier that BEHRINGER has ever produced. Not only did Behringer choose the highest quality components available; in the input section circuitry they've bordered on breaking the laws of physics. With impressive results: absolutely pure audio quality and unbelievable detail resolution. Input gain is adjustable from +10 to +60 dB. Phantom power is switchable per channel, with a "soft mute" function to ensure noise-free switching.

Flexible signal processing

A switchable high pass filter (12 dB/octave), adjustable from 12 to 350 Hz, provides effective suppression of low-frequency disturbances. Phase inversion is particularly important when using several microphones, enabling you to eliminate phase cancellation problems, and is essential for decoding M/S setups. Each channel features gain adjustment from -20 to +20 dB: more than enough to convert a semi-professional -10 dBV signal to the professional +4 dBu level or vice versa, or to raise maximum overall system amplification to 80 dB. The TUBE ULTRAGAIN features servo-balanced inputs and outputs with XLR and 1/4" TRS connectors and incorporates like all of the VINTAGER line products the ULTRATUBE circuitry, which allows you to add tube-like warmth to the signal without additional noise.
