Behringer ULTRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 2-Channel Vacuum-Tube Microphone/Line Preamplifier

Behringer MIC2200 Overview

Designed to be a flexible preamp with a musical tube tone, the Behringer ULTRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 gives you the sound quality of a 2-channel vintage tube preamp and high-end DI box all-in-one, at a mere fraction of what a true relic of the 1960s would cost. Each channel offers switchable 48V phantom power for condenser microphones, up to 60 dB of preamp gain, a variable high-pass filter, and a parametric EQ.

Put a Little Tube in Your Tone

The MIC2200 is perfect for studio and live applications. The balanced 1/4" TRS and gold-plated XLR inputs and outputs give you maximum flexibility in either scenario. It derives its personality from a hand-selected 12AX7 tube, for superior tube character and low-noise operation. The MIC2200 is ideally suited for use with standard digital recorders and sound cards, imbuing signals with the warmth, presence, and classic tube compression that will bring your digital tracks to life.

Ultimate Control Over Your Tone

The MIC2200's controls consist of switches for +48 V phantom power, Phase Reverse, Lo Cut, EQ Frequency Range, and EQ In/Out, plus Mic Gain, Lo Cut Frequency, Octave Bandwidth, Level, and Output knobs. A 12-segment LED meter provides accurate monitoring of output levels. When used as a high-end DI (direct input) box in the studio or onstage, the MIC2200 delivers flawless performance and outstanding signal integrity. For further tone conditioning, the MIC2200 features a fully parametric EQ with adjustable center Frequency, Bandwidth, and Level per channel. Both channels also feature independent phase reverse switches for maximum versatility.
