Behringer MIC2200 V2 2-channel Tube Microphone Preamp

Behringer MIC2200 V2 2-channel Tube Microphone Preamp

Tubes can really warm up a signal fast, giving it increased depth and character. Though transistors have succeeded the technology, many musicians agree that tubes deliver a far superior sound. A true audiophile 2-channel Mic/Line preamplifier, the ULTRA GAIN PRO MIC2200's hand selected 12AX7 vacuum tube gives everything from microphones to acoustic or bass guitars that vintage tube vibe in a dependable and highly-affordable package. The onboard fully parametric EQs provide unparalleled tonal characteristics, allowing you to sculpt instrument and vocal sounds with the ultimate precision and musicality.

Put a Little Tube in Your Tone

The MIC 2200 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 MIC 2200 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 incredible 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. And when used as a high-end DI (Direct Injection) box in the studio or on the stage, the MIC2200 delivers flawless performance and outstanding signal integrity. For further tone conditioning, the MIC2200 features a fully parametric EQ with adjustable centre Frequency, Bandwidth and Level per channel. Both channels also feature independent phase reverse switches for maximum versatility.
