ULTRAGAIN PRO MIC2200

1. INTRODUCTION

With the ULTRAGAIN PRO you have purchased an extremely musical and flexible microphone preamplifier.

Our ULTRAGAIN range of devices has been a hit ever since we introduced our first model some 5 years ago.

This high-end microphone preamp is based on many years of experience and findings in amplifier technology

and is used throughout the world in renowned studios, sound reinforcement systems as well as in broadcast

and television studios. Improving the legendary ULTRAGAIN even further was a real challenge, and we are

proud of our success. The BEHRINGER ULTRAGAIN PRO meets highest and no-compromise requirements in

terms of operation, sound, specifications and workmanship.

Future-oriented BEHRINGER technology

Compared to its predecessor models, the ULTRAGAIN PRO not only has additional features, but also boasts

dramatically enhanced audio qualities. For example, it uses a special tube stage to provide the program

material with typical tube warmth, and has a fully parametric equalizer per channel, which gives you even

more sound-processing flexibility.

The heart of the ULTRAGAIN PRO is an extremely low-noise microphone preamp circuit that uses discrete

components to produce a highly transparent sound. In combination with our BEHRINGER tube technology, the

operational amplifiers 4580 and a sophisticated circuit topology, the ULTRAGAIN PRO yields excellent noise

and distortion properties! The switchable +48 V phantom power supply allows for connecting almost any kind

of microphone and suppresses power-up thumps with its soft mute function.

BEHRINGER tube circuitry

Our engineering team has made it possible to enhance the traditional tube circuitry (particularly for our

ULTRAGAIN PRO) and adapt it to meet the high sound quality and dynamics requirements of modern, pro-level

audio technology. The fact that we are still fascinated by antique tube radios and amps as well as the fine and

warm tonal character that we usually associate with them, are the reasons why vacuum tubes have kept their

ground even in state-of-the-art circuit topologies used especially in professional audio technology or so-called

high-end devices. We are particularly proud that we have found a highly effective symbiosis between solid-state

and tube technologies making them affordable to almost anybody in audio technology.

The parametric equalizer

Parametric equalizers represent the most advanced form of equalization systems. Basically, the user has

control over the three parameters that define the so-called Gaussian equalization curve: bandwidth, frequency

and amplitude.

The ULTRAGAIN PROs on-board parametric equalizer combines the technical properties of a parametric

equalizer with those of a narrow-band notch filter. Capable of eliminating feedback frequencies, a parametric

equalizer is a perfect match for a microphone preamp. Moreover, as its design is based on our well-known

ULTRA-Q, the ULTRAGAIN PROs audio qualities and specifications are well within the so-called high-end

class. Its on-board equalizer can be used not only to tweak the frequency response but also to creatively

process audio material, thus giving you undreamed of equalization flexibility. Both in creative audio-processing

applications in recording and broadcast/TV studios, in video post-production, and on stage, equalizers are

highly efficient and all-purpose audio tools ideally complementing microphone preamps.

The universal level translator

In addition to a high-grade microphone preamp, the ULTRAGAIN PRO features a separate level translator

which can both raise and lower line level signals. You can use it to translate home recording to studio levels so

as to easily connect tape/video recorders and other hi-fi devices to professional equipment (and vice versa, i.e.

reducing studio levels to match those of semi-professional equipment).

+ The following operational manual will introduce you to the BEHRINGER ULTRAGAIN PRO and

its various functions. After reading the manual carefully, make sure it is always on hand for

future reference.
