Shipping claims must be made by the consignee. The BEHRINGER TUBE ULTRAFEX fits into two standard 19" rack units of space. Please allow at least an additional 4" depth for the connectors on the back panel. - Page 8 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com TUBE ULTRAFEX T1954 Fig. 1.2: Control elements of the LOW BAND and HIGH BAND section The LOW MIX control of the low band determines the amount of signal used for sound enhancement (from zero to six). Turn the control clockwise for a more strong and punchy bass sound. The setting depends on the application you are addressing.

UTC technology. The BEHRINGER UTC technology The BEHRINGER TUBE ULTRAFEX uses our newly developed UTC technology, a development resulting from two years of intensive research work by our engineering team. This technology overcomes the problems related to tube circuitry (see Chapter 3) and generates upper harmonics even at low levels to give your record- ings more warmth and power. -
Page 11: Basic Setting
See also the Chapters 2.1 and 3 for the right connection. 2.4 Adjustment of the Bass Processor Apart from processing the upper harmonic ranges, users of the BEHRINGER TUBE ULTRAFEX have access to an innovative Bass Processor. The numerous stages of processing during the recording, reproduction, copying and effecting processes, increasingly delay the phase of the bass frequencies, when compared to the remaining frequency ranges. -

If a companding noise reduction system is used in this situation, it should precede the TUBE ULTRAFEX. 3.2 Sound Enhancement during Recording The sound enhancing effect can be increased by using the BEHRINGER TUBE ULTRAFEX not only during replay but during recording. This method of sound processing is recommended, in particular, if the subsequent storage medium is of poor quality. -

1. If your mixer features subgroup outputs with insert points, you can process the subgroups separately. 2. You can also combine monitor and effect paths and route them via the BEHRINGER TUBE ULTRAFEX to a free input channel. The respective signals have to be taken “pre-fader”, the respective channels must be muted. -

3.7 Sound Enhancement in HiFi and Video Of course, the BEHRINGER TUBE ULTRAFEX can also find applications in the fields of hifi and video. The unit is simply placed between the signal source (cassette recorder, tuner, VCR etc.) and the power amplifier. We recommend using the “tape monitor”... -
Page 15: Psycho-Acoustic Background
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com TUBE ULTRAFEX T1954 4.2 Psycho-acoustic Background The term psycho-acoustics refers to the psychological aspect of hearing — in contrast to the physiological transfer of impulses (transmission of nervous impulses). Psycho-acoustics examines the effect of sound on the listener and the reasons for certain sonic impressions. -
Page 16: Frequency Correction
Here, several delayed signals are added to evenly intensify this effect. The BEHRINGER TUBE ULTRAFEX is equipped with a frequency-selective phase shift circuit that comprises several stages. Due to the program-dependent delayed signal, the sonic impression becomes more vivid, as with an orchestra, where the musical liveliness is the result of inaccurate “entries”... -

Manufacturers try with ever new algorithms to get the most out of DSP’s (Digital Signal Processors), the heart of any digital system. Still, many audio engineers, particularly old hands often prefer using both old and new tube-equipped devices. -

This design was used, for example, as a rectifier in the power supplies of amplifiers. The magnitude and velocity of the flow of electrons depend on the cathode’s temperature, the material it consists of, and the magnitude of the... -
