TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC200 Controls
Controls
(EN)
The GAIN control allows you to
(1)
control the gain from +26 to +60 dB
to the input signal. This control should
be set all the way to the left when
(dis)connecting a sound source from
the MIC200. When all connections
are made, slowly start raising the
gain control.
We recommend using the LED
(2)
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 it
should never be on all the time.
If your MIC200 is connected to the
(3)
mains via the enclosed power supply
unit, the POWER lights up to
LED
indicate that your MIC200 is running.
The 20 dB PAD switch reduces
(4)
the input sensitivity by 20 dB
(switch pressed). The appropriate
setting depends on the equipment
connected. Generally speaking,
lowering the signal level in mic
applications is not recommended.
No matter what your application is,
the clip LED warns you to reduce the
gain setting to avoid distortion.
This +48 V switch activates the
(5)
phantom power supply for the XLR
input. Phantom power supply is
required for operating condenser
microphones. Dynamic microphones
require no phantom power.
Press the LOW CUT switch to
(6)
eliminate undesired subsonic noise,
such as floor rumble.
With the PHASE REVERSE switch,
(7)
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.
The OUTPUT control governs the
(8)
output level within a range from
-∞ to +10 dB. If the control is
turned all the way to the left, there
is no output signal at all. The more
the control is turned to the right,
the higher the output level.
The PREAMP MODE rotary switch
(9)
gives you a wide selection of
preamp presets. The options available
are: WARM, WARM/LIMITER,
LIMITER and NEUTRAL.

Quick Start Guide
The balanced ¼" TRS INPUT of
(10)
your MIC200 can be used to connect
your electric guitar, for example.
This input is wired parallell to the
XLR input.
Ideally, the balanced should
XLR INPUT
be used to connect a microphone.
◊ In contrast to its outputs,
the MIC200's inputs should never
be used simultaneously!
This is the balanced XLR OUTPUT of
(11)
your MIC200. Use this connector to
feed the XLR input of your mixing
console, multitrack recorder or
power amp.
The balanced ¼" of
TRS OUTPUT
your MIC200 can also be connected
to a mixer, recording system or
power amp.
Use the POWER SUPPLY
(12)
CONNECTOR 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.
