The TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC200 from Behringer is a single channel, low voltage plate tube based microphone/instrument preamplifier, housed in a compact, desktop enclosure. With switchable phantom power available, the unit will work with all types of microphones. Additionally, the preamp features a 20dB pad, phase reverse switch, low-cut filter and balanced inputs and outputs. When used as a high-end DI-box, the preamp provides outstanding signal integrity.

The preamp has 2 interesting features, the first being the inclusion of flexible preamp modeling. This allows the user to optimize recordings by selecting one of the 16 preamp settings that matches their needs, be it for vocals, or acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitars, keyboards, drums and more.
