Behringer T1953 Tube Ultragain

The Tube Ultragain is the best preamplifier that Behringer has ever produced. Not only did they choose the highest components available; in the input section circuitry they've bordered on breaking the laws of physics. With impressive results: absolutely pure audio quality and unbelievable detail resolution. Input gain is adjustable from +10 to +60 dB. Phantom power is switchable per channel, with a "soft mute" function to ensure noise-free switching.

Features:

• Versatile and useful "Tube" 2-Channel mic preamp, line drive, and DI box
• Original ULTRAGAIN is a staple in studios because it gives you the extra clarity and punch missing from your mics
• Unique mic preamp provides unmatched sound quality with an incredible dynamic range of 130 dB!
• Gain is adjustable from +15 to +55 dB
• "Ultra-Tube" circuitry adds more warmth without distortion or noise.
• Add in as much tube enhancement as you can handle with the independent "Warmth" control
• Legendary Sovtek tubes; huge, backlit analog VU meters and a slick chrome "Retro" front panel design and vintage style knobs that take you back to the future round out this package
• Phantom power is available on each channel
• "Soft Mute" feature ensures that there's no "thump" when unit is enabled
• Mic/Line switch lets you choose Line input or Mic input
• 12 dB per octave switchable Low Cut filter can be swept from 15 Hz to 350 Hz to eliminate stage "rumble" and tighten up tape tracks in the Line Mode
• Phase Reverse function minimizes anti-phase effects and is also essential when decoding MS (Middle/Side) miking effects
• Converts between the semi-professional standard of -10 dBV up to the professional +4 dBu professional standard or vice versa
• Servo-balanced XLR and TRS inputs and outputs on gold-plated connectors
