Behringer Tube Ultragain Mic500USB

General

With the Tube Ultragain Mic500USB, Behringer has managed to combine a warm, old-fashioned tube sound with modern digital technology. Do you want to make simple recordings with a single microphone or Hi-Z instrument? Do you want more tonal possibilities than the clean inputs found on an average audio interface? The Tube Ultragain MIC500USB is a single-channel audio interface with a 12AX7 tube that offers 16 preamp voicings.

Features of the Tube Ultragain MIC500USB

You can connect three types of audio sources to the Tube Ultragain MIC500USB: a Hi-Z instrument like an electric guitar or bass, a stereo line signal like keyboards, and a microphone. There is even a 48V phantom power switch for condenser mics. Using the Preamp Mode rotary knob, you can choose between 16 preamp voicings that have been designed for specific instruments, but don't let that stop you from experimenting! For extra flexibility, there's a -20 dB pad, a low-cut and a phase inverter switch as well.

To prevent latency, you can send the incoming signal right through to the headphone output by pushing the Direct Monitor button. You don't need to install any drivers for this audio interface to function. A DAW is required, however, but Behringer has got you covered, as they've generously included all the software you need including the well-known Tracktion DAW software!
