TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC100

Welcome to the BEHRINGER family!

Thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing

the MIC100.

Your MIC100 is a professional mic preamp that can be used in a

variety of applications. Due to its incredible functionality and the

broad range of connection options the MIC100 ensures outstanding

performance. You will soon appreciate the MIC100s flexibility be it

live on stage or in the home/professional recording studio.

1. INTRODUCTION

With the MIC100 you have purchased an extremely musical mic

preamp that is equipped with a 12AX7 vacuum tube. An integrated

limiter a phase reverse function phantom power supply a highly

accurate LED meter and a switchable pad function complement this

powerful device.

1.1 The design concept

The heart of the TUBEULTRAGAIN is an extremely low-noise

microphone preamp circuitry that uses discrete components and

produces a highly trans-parent sound. In combination with our

BEHRINGER tube technology the operational amplifiers 4580 and a

sophisticated circuit topology the TUBEULTRAGAIN yields excellent

noise and distortion properties. The innovative UTC circuitry that has

been developed by our engineering team offers an abundance of

sound-shaping possibilities. Absolute musicality was our major goal

when we designed the TUBE ULTRAGAIN. The result is a device that

thanks to our tube circuitry lends an incredible punch to percussion

instruments. On the other hand instruments that are rich in upper

harmonics will receive more transparency. The sound will be warm

detailed and brilliant.

Surely you know the recording problem that single instruments or

vocals sometimes dont cut through. Thanks to the TUBEULTRAGAIN

vocals gain in presence and volume without masking other instruments.

As a result your voice will be perfectly integrated in the mix.

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

Fig. 2.1: Side panel of the MIC100

2.1 Connections (side pane )

Use the POWER SUPPLY CO ECTOR to hook up the enclosed

power supply unit. Next to this connector youll find the strain

relief clamp which prevents accidental release of the power

supply.

This is the balanced XLR OUTPUT of your MIC100. Use this

connector to feed the XLR input of your mixing console

multitrack recorder or power amp.

The balanced 1/4" TRS OUTPUT of your MIC100 can also be

connected to either mixer recording system or power amp.

+P ease note that you can use the XLR and TRS outputs of

your MIC100 at the same time! Thus, it is possib e to

connect the MIC100s output signa to two different devices

simu taneous y.

The balanced 1/4" TRS I PUT of your MIC100 can be used to

connect your electric guitar for example. This input is wired

parallelly to the XLR input.

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

Use the balanced XLR I PUT to connect your microphone.

+In contrast to its outputs, the MIC100s inputs shou d

never be used simu taneous y!

2.2 User interface

Fig. 2.2: User interface of the MIC100

The GAI control allows applying gain from +26 to +60 dB to the

input signal. This control should be set fully counterclockwise

when (dis)connecting a sound source to the MIC100. When all

connections are made slowly start raising gain.

We recommend using the LED meter to adjust gain. The

LED chain displays the output signal level in dB. Please make

sure that the clip LED never lights up permanently. It should

light up only at peak signals but never all the time.

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC100

If your MIC100 is connected to the mains via the enclosed

power supply unit the POWER LED lights up to indicate that

your MIC100 is running.

The 20 dB PAD button reduces the input sensitivity by 20 dB.

The appropriate setting depends on the equipment connected.

No matter what your application is the clip LED warns you to

reduce the gain setting so as to avoid distortion.

This +48 V switch activates the phantom power supply for the

XLR input. Phantom power supply is required for operating

condenser microphones.

With the PHASE REVERSE switch the input signal is reversed

by 180°. This function is available for both mic and line signals.

Use this function in a multi-microphone setup if you detect

phase cancellations in specific frequency bands.

Use the LIMITER switch to limit the signal and to prevent

distortion.

The OUTPUT control governs the output level of the device

within a range from -oo to +10 dB. If the control is set fully

counter-clockwise there is no output signal at all. The more the

control is set clockwise the higher the output level.

2.3 Seria number

The MIC100s serial number is located on the bottom cover. Please

take time to fill in and return the warranty card within 14 days after the

date of purchase so as to benefit from our extended warranty. Or

use our online registration option available on the World Wide Web at

www.behringer.com.

3. WIRING EXAMPLES

Youll be surprised how flexibly you can set up your MIC100. The

following chapter describes some typical wiring examples.

3. WIRING EXAMPLES

TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC100

3.1 Enhancing voca s and instruments in ive app ications

Here the MIC100 is wired before the mixers channel input. Thus

the sound gains in warmth and transparency. Due to the integrated

limiter distortion is eliminated effectively.

Fig. 3.1: Standard live application

3.2 Direct to disk app ication in studio or home recording

environments

If you are looking for a device that considerably enhances the sound

of your digital workstation this is where the MIC100 comes in. Many

hard disk recorders lack a certain liveliness. In addition they are

often equipped with lousy microphone preamps. Such problems can

be solved perfectly with the MIC100.

3.3 The MIC100 as DI-box

Your MIC100 is excellently suited for this application. For example

you can connect an unbalanced acoustic guitar signal to the MIC100

to prevent hum or interference noise. What you get is a balanced

noise-free signal.
