6 UL TRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 1. INTRODUCTION With the ULTRAGAIN PRO you have purchased an extremely musical and flexible microphone preamplifier. Our ULTRAGAIN range of devices has been a hit ever since we introduced our first model some 5 years ago.
7 UL TRAGAIN 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.
8 UL TRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 It is therefore useful to keep the operating level as high as possible without risking signal distortion in order to achieve optimum transmission quality. t P/dB +20 0 -20 -40 -60 -80 Clipping Headroom Operating level Effective SNR Noise floor Fig.
9 UL TRAGAIN 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.
10 UL TRAGAIN 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.
11 UL TRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 1.2 .4 The best of both worlds Despite many efforts neither manufacturers nor developers have succeeded so far in simulating these positive properties of the tube by means of other devices. Additionally, the natural capabilities of the tube to act as a soft limiter can only be mimicked with highly sophisticated circuitry.
12 UL TRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 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.
13 UL TRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 + Never use unbalanced XLR connections with microphone cables, as this would short-circuit any phantom power transmitted over these cables! 4.
14 UL TRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 9 The x 0.1 switch lowers the working range of the FREQUENCY control to 10 - 200 Hz, so that you can process the bass end of the audio spectrum. 10 The x 10 switch raises the working range of the FREQUENCY control to 1 - 20 kHz, so that you can process the treble end of the audio spectrum.
15 UL TRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 5. APPLICATIONS This section describes some typical applications of the BEHRINGER ULTRAGAIN PRO. Starting from the following basic settings you can use it to solve the majority of audio problems.
16 UL TRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 before the microphone preamp starts overloading. If distortion/overloading occurs at high volume levels, you should reduce the gain with the MIC GAIN control. 5.1.3 PHASE REV. switch The PHASE REV. switch reverses the audio signals phase by 180°.
17 UL TRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 Never switch on the +48 V supply when you use unbalanced microphones, as this could cause electrical damage. Some people hold that the sound of dynamic microphones is affected when the +48 V supply is on, or that ribbon microphones cannot be operated from an input equipped with +48 V phantom power.
18 UL TRAGAIN PRO MIC2200 Notching out specific interference frequencies and narrow-band resonances (uncontrolled frequency peaks) is one of the ULTRAGAIN PROs major tasks: by tuning the EQ in to the precise trouble frequency, interference such as hum and noise caused by air conditioners, etc.
