I bought this to use as a mic preamp for recording music on my Zoom h4n, which is a great recorder but has noisy internal preamps. This unit is much quieter than my recorders preamps and a good deal warmer. I found it very useful being able to adjust the gain going into my recorder using a real knob instead of relying on my recorders buttons. The unit is sturdy and of good quality, I like the chicken head knobs, they have a good feel and can be adjusted finely. The EQ settings on this the ultragain are somewhat of a disappointment only in the sense that they sound very similar to one another. I prefer the valve setting for almost everything, it seem slightly warmer than the rest. I have not found a use of the limiter settings I like, but only some settings have it engaged. I have ran several dynamic mics through a PA with this and they sounded great. since it has a 1/4 instrument output, I tried plugging this into my Peavey bandit guitar amp and seeing what vocals would sound like. It sounded very clear and was actually hard to get it to feedback, which is usually a problem running vocals through a guitar amp. I also have tried running my guitars through this and I really like the tube compression I can get. It says specifically in the instructions not to use the XLR input and instrument input at the same time, but I did for several hours straight, running my guitar and vocals through it. sounded fine, although it mixes the two signals so they both come out both outputs. Perhaps doing this is bad for the tube, or could overload something eventually, I'm no expert, but the booklet says don't do it! Many users have said this unit is noisy or that it hisses at higher volume levels. I have found that turning the gain up higher (but less than 95% up) and keeping the output knob lower gets me a lower noise floor than the opposite, and i think most people would assume you would want gain low and output high to achieve a low noise floor. I was worried about reviews that said this unit is no good without upgrading the tube, but now I'm happy because its good enough for me as is, but holds the promise of being improved in the future.
This is an EXCELLENT way to get into the very exciting world of tubes. Your best bet? Toss the garbage Chinese tube included. It's absolutely terrible. Buy a decent tube, or a few, and see what you like. This unit is relatively simple to take apart and change it out, just keep track of the screws, bolts, and metal post supports. Don't want to take the whole thing apart over and over? For the price, you can afford to buy a few. Once you try a few tubes, you'll want to have one of these for each in your collection. I currently have two of these, one with an Electro Harmonix and one with a Tung Sol. I am writing this because I am buying a third to house my Ruby. I have been using this with my guitars, basses, my MicroKorg, several cheap MXL condenser mics, and much, much more. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this tube preamp. It just works, simple as that. The modeling and limiter knob is very versatile for a huge range of applications. I use it live and it makes my Marshall half stack sound like it actually has a tube head (it doesn't, it's a solid state)! My blues drive has more creaminess and with my overdrive distortion it has more bite. The limiter sounds nice and punchy on my 5 string Ibanez bass, my harmonica more punch, vocals stand in the front of the mix easier, percussion sounds fuller... I could go on all day. I record in a 96k studio and have very little trouble with noise from this preamp. Run the AC adaptor on a separate circuit (NOT the one your amp is plugged in) or a power conditioner, use a Noise Gate, or use the noise removing plugin on your favorite program if you're recording. Learning and exploring the world of tubes doesn't have to be expensive! Just get it (just buy a new tube)!
I run a small project/production sound studio and this item has really, really helped me out. I didn't think I would love it as much as I do. I have a high-quality interface and very sensitive mics, but, I get a really digital sound out of it. It's just honest to the point of being harsh. This is great for some things (recording horns, sound effects, etc.) but not for others (voices, guitars, etc.). So, I got this to try to warm everything up. I switched the tube out. The box was tough to get into! I swear they made the screws out of sandstone; I stripped 'em even being gentle. It was tough getting in, but once I did, I swapped out the stock tube with a vintage low-noise high-quality tube (not letting that secret out). That greatly enhanced the sound and cut down on the noise. The additional cost of the tube is a significant consideration at this price-point (the tube was as much as the pre-amp), but if this is one of your options, I would recommend a swap-out to anyone. The EQ settings are nice. Play with them and you'll be pleasantly surprised. The limiter is useless. It takes it a second to set a level, so the waveform ends up with a huge peak on the front of it. I played around with the unit, and even stock, it sounds pretty good. If you need some warmth, phantom power, whatever it is, this really isn't a bad solution. I could see how users would find it too noisy, but, with my high-quality mics and high-quality interface, I can work around it (keeping the gain down on the MIC200).

Behringer MIC200 Ultragain - great product
I am not an expert guitar player, but I do have a collection of guitars and a couple of Marshall solid state Guitar Amps. This little box has transformed the sound of the amps, when used as a pre-amp into the Guitar Amp's main input. I use it on the 'Valve' setting, which is great for fattening up the tone without degrading it in any way. The amps now sound much more valve-like with more harmonics and a chunkier sound all round. The Behringer is also great for microphones or as a di box for pumping guitar sound into a PC (via a mixer). Contrary to previous comments, mine came with the correct UK Mains Adaptor / Plug, so no conversion required. Construction / design of the unit is excellent, the knobs turn smoothly with no crackle and it's very flexible. The best sound is obtained by combining the gain and output settings to best suit the amp you are driving, my preference is to have the gain about 2/3 up (this adds the valve warmth and some overdrive) and the output only about 1/3 up. No negatives for me with this product.

Great preamp and outstanding value
A great little preamp, particularly considering the price. It boosts the signal, and also adds a bit of tube warmth, which can be great if you are recording digitally on a computer. The use of a high gain tube means that you can get a clean signal by only turning things up a little, and then crank it if you want a bit of break-up... The down side to this is that if you only want clean signals, you do not have very fine adjustment at your fingertips. This might be solved by fitting a lower gain tube, which is something I'm looking into. Besides the gain controls, the various buttons help in different situations - pad for a very hot input signal, phantom power, phase reversal if you are trying to match-up with a parallel/reversed signal etc., which means you can use this in a lot of situations. I haven't explored the 'Preamp mode' section much yet, but frankly this is the icing on the cake

... I've had this about three hours now and just love it. Back tracking now
Well I've had this about three hours now and just love it. Back tracking now. A year or so ago I bought a RockTile Guitar Kit. A sort of Stratocaster clone, but not quite. At first I was lost in the void of setting up, atone, tuning etc. I got there in the end after quite a long but enjoyable learning curve. I decide in the spirit of the thing to build my own amp. To cut a long story short I ended up using a Vellaman mono amp with a Guitar Warehouse speaker. Using various booster pedals as a pre-amp, I could get a clean, clear and loud sound, but with no soul. I tried various pedal boxes, upgraded the pick-ups and other parts of the guitar, but not really getting THERE. So I unpacked this MIC200 and plugged it in and, WOW. That's what I've been trying to achieve. I've got THERE with the sound. Other users have said that the valve used in this unit is inferior. I can't say. Perhaps I'll try upgrading later, but for now this really hits the spot for me. To finish off, it does what it says on the tin. Go for it I say.

... real tube amp but for my purpose this works great. I'm using it to provide a small boost ...
Don't expect a miracle - these starved circuit tube pre-amps don't hold a candle to a real tube amp but for my purpose this works great. I'm using it to provide a small boost to the input signal from my condenser mic into my sound card... with the -10dB pad on my mic, the -20dB pad and the phantom power on the pre amp all active I can then the gain on my soundcard all the way down and the gain/output on the pre-p up to 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock respectively I get an extremely clean signal to record with and incredibly low levels of white noise which the noise gate setting in my software eliminates perfectly which is barely noticeable. The presets aren't anything too great but if you want to subtly colour the sound these will do that but the limiter is next to useless

REALLY GOOD HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT
I bought this as part of a bundled deal along with a Behringer C-1 `Microphone and an XLR Cable. The package came to just over £80 once VAT was added. I use the set-up for making spoken-word recordings - mainly video commentary. With the MIC200 I can boost the signal from the microphone to line-level for input to a MacMini - mainly to GarageBand, but also to the excellent 3rd party Screenflow program. The MIC200 is perfect for increasing the volume of a softly spoken speech commentary to a meaningful level. It does this brilliantly, with almost zero background hiss even when it’s cranked up quite high. The silence of the unit is noticeable - if you know what I mean. The unit does get fairly hot in use - probably due to the valve. At first this can be disconcerting, but you quickly get used to it - and this adds to the retro feel, along with the chunky controls. There’s a sort of “live” personality about the MIC200 that I really like. The build quality is solid. You have to give it several seconds to warm up - a sequence of lights shows this happening, then a single light stays on. After this, you press the 48 volt button to power up the microphone. The instruction manual advises you to set both the gain and the output controls to zero whenever you switch it on or off. There’s no actual on/off switch on the MIC200 - you just connect it to the mains via the rather weirdly-shaped mains converter supplied with the unit. This is 2-pin - but an old shaver adaptor worked OK, although I did have a problem keeping the mains unit in place on a vertical wall socket - and had to prop it up by placing a book underneath. When used with the shaver adaptor, it really juts out from the wall and threatens to topple out. You’re probably best using a horizontal extension socket set on the floor and plugging it in that way. Both the GAIN and the OUTPUT dials turn smoothly and are easy to use. It’s easy to see the LED indicator array and adjust accordingly. There’s several pre-sets on the 3rd rotary dial - the PRE AMP MODE. These would seem to be for use with keyboards and electric guitars and suchlike, either via the XRL or the 1/4 inch jack sockets…. although I have to say I don’t know anything about that particular aspect of the MIC200. I just use it “flat” with the microphone, although experimenting with a few settings did provide interesting results. When I used it on the Bass (guitar?) setting my voice became noticeably deeper. When set on Drums my voice became sort of clipped. Some (not all) of these settings I think were slightly “hisser’ and seem to be contoured for a higher input than my voice talking through a microphone. Some of the 3 Vocal settings I think are for loud singing voice …. although I’m still experimenting. In conclusion I think this is a seriously good product - and amazing value for the price. I’ll add a note here - if you’re going to use the above set-up in the way I’ve described, you have to get the correct connecting cable to feed the signal from the MIC200 to the stereo mini-jack input on your computer …… i.e. a Female XLR to stereo mini-jack. Apparently there’s 2 types - unbalanced and balanced. I haven’t a clue what this means. Apparently one works and the other one doesn’t work. I got a really good quality cable (from FEL Communications) here ……… http://www.micbooster.com/products/felleadsandadapt.html This cable definitely works. Hope this helps.

Audiophile Vacuum Tube Preamplifier with Preamp Modeling Technology
Tubes can really warm up a signal fast, giving it depth and character. Though transistors have succeeded the technology, many musicians agree that tubes deliver superior sound. BEHRINGER's TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC200 has 16 selectable preamp voicings designed to give anything from microphones to guitars to pianos that vintage tube vibe.
The MIC200 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 with UTC technology for superior tube character and low-noise operation. The MIC200 is great for eliminating the "dull" sound of standard digital recorders and sound cards. And thanks to onboard +48 V phantom power and 20dB pad, the MIC200 can also add warmth to condenser microphones. When used as a high-end DI box, you get outstanding signal integrity.
Two big vintage-style knobs control gain and output. There's also a switch for phase reverse and a limiter to prevent overloading the MIC200. An 8-segment LED meter provides accurate monitoring of output levels. Select from 16 preamp voicings specially created for vocals, guitar, bass, keyboard, piano and percussion.
The MIC200 gives you the sound quality of a vintage tube preamp at a mere fraction of what a true relic of the 1960s would cost. At a price this low, you owe it to yourself to find out where the MIC200's real tube tone can take your sound.

Two channel tube preamp with phantom power and VU meters. This one is missing a screw on the top of the chassis, which doesn't affect anything but I want to point it out...and I replaced one tube with a JJ 12ax7. It works and sounds great but I have two and haven't used either one since I relocated my studio.
