  • Page 6: Introduction

    The heart of the ULTRAGAIN PRO is an extremely low-noise microphone preamp circuit that uses discrete components to produce a highly transparent sound. In combination with our BEHRINGER tube technology, the operational amplifiers 4580 and a sophisticated circuit topology, the ULTRAGAIN PRO yields excellent noise and distortion properties! The switchable +48 V phantom power supply allows for connecting almost any kind of microphone and suppresses power-up thumps with its “soft mute”...

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com ULTRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 1.1 Technical background By employing current modern analog technology it is possible to manufacture audio equipment with a dynamic range of up to 130 dB. In contrast to analog techniques, the dynamic range of digital equipment is approximately 25 dB less.

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com ULTRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 With the introduction of semiconductor technologies in the field of audio amplification, it soon became clear that the tube would have to give way to the transistor, as this device featured an enormously enhanced signal- to-noise ratio, required a less complex power supply and yielded an improved frequency response.

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com ULTRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 Fig. 1.5: pentode In a triode the capacitance between grid and anode is a problem with regard to high frequencies and large amplification factors. For this reason, the pentode has a positively charged screen grid between the control grid and the anode.

    For the first time, the ULTRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 uses SMD technology (Surface Mounted Device). These sub-miniature components known from aerospace technology allow for an extreme packing density, plus the unit’s reliability could be improved.

    3.1 Rack mounting The BEHRINGER ULTRAGAIN PRO fits into one standard 19" rack unit of space (1 3/4"). Please allow at least an additional 4" depth for the connectors on the back panel. Be sure that there is enough air space around the unit for cooling and please do not place the ULTRAGAIN PRO on high temperature devices such as power amplifiers etc.

Please make sure that your local voltage matches the voltage indicated on the unit, before you attempt to connect and operate the ULTRAGAIN PRO.

  • Page 15: Applications

    5.1 The ULTRAGAIN PRO as a microphone preamplifier Before you can use the BEHRINGER ULTRAGAIN PRO as a preamp, we recommend that you study the various functions of the device. The high gain factors provided by the microphone preamp can produce extreme levels on the output side, which may damage subsequent devices.

  • Page 16: Phase Rev. Switch

    In an unbalanced configuration, DC voltage would be applied directly, which would inevitably lead to disturbing noise or could even damage the electronics. To eliminate this risk, the BEHRINGER ULTRAGAIN PRO automatically disables the unbalanced phone jack in MIC mode. Microphones can thus only be connected to the XLR connector.

  • Page 17: The Ultragain Pro As A Level Translator

    The BEHRINGER ULTRAGAIN PRO is excellently suited for this application. In LINE mode, the OUTPUT control allows you to raise or lower the input signal level by as much as 20 dB. The functions PHASE REV. and LO CUT are also enabled in this mode.

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com ULTRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 “Notching out” specific interference frequencies and narrow-band resonances (uncontrolled frequency peaks) is one of the ULTRAGAIN PRO’s major tasks: by tuning the EQ in to the precise trouble frequency, interference such as hum and noise caused by air conditioners, etc. can be eliminated without affecting adjacent frequency ranges.
