An Affordable Way to Add Tube Warmth to Your Recordings

Adding a great-sounding tube microphone preamp to your home or project studio rig doesn’t have to break the bank. The Behringer MIC2200 V2 packs two channels of high-quality tube-powered preamplification into an ultra-affordable unit. Like other studio-quality preamps, the Behringer MIC 2200 has the standard features you would expect — 48V phantom power, phase reverse, easy-to-read output level meters, and switchable mic/line level. And it includes a highpass filter and fully parametric single-band EQ for shaping the tone of your signal. Engineers at Sweetwater agree that we’re living in a golden age of recording, with more access than ever to pro-level gear at affordable prices. If you’re looking to step up your sonics from your interface’s built-in preamps, you can’t go wrong with the MC2200 V2 2-channel tube preamp from Behringer!

Real vacuum tube adds life to sterile digital recordings

While digital recording is unparalleled in terms of reliability and flexibility, it can lack the character of analog recording gear that relied on tape, transistors, and tubes — all of which add harmonic saturation to a signal that is inherently pleasing to human ears. Outfitted with a hand-selected 12AX7 vacuum tube, the Behringer MIC2200 V2 injects tasty analog warmth into your recordings, giving them instant vibe. Yet, the Behringer MIC2200 exhibits ultra-low-noise performance on the front end, so you can keep your signal clean and pristine or hit the tube hard for some vintage-style grit — an awesome technique to add excitement to drums, vocals, and more.

Versatile tone shaping for getting the sound right at the source

While there is no shortage of EQ plugins available to tweak a signal once it’s “in the box,” engineers at Sweetwater highly recommend shaping the sound before you hit the record button. Not only does it save you time during mixdown, but it also encourages you to be more intentional during the recording process. The Behringer MIC2200 V2 makes it easy to get a great sound at the source. It includes a 12Hz–320Hz highpass filter, for cutting out rumble and unneeded low frequencies, and a fully parametric single-band EQ, with an ultra-wide bandwidth from 10Hz–20kHz. Add some crack to your snare a 7kHz, intelligibility to vocals at 2kHz, or scoop out some mud at 300kHz — use your ears and nail your perfect sound!

Behringer MIC2200 V2 2-channel Tube Microphone Preamp Features:

  • Affordable 2-channel tube preamplifier with ultra-low-noise performance
  • Hand-selected 12AX7 imparts pleasing harmonic saturation
  • Keep your signal clean or drive the tube hard for added grit
  • Cut out rumble and unnecessary low frequencies with the 12Hz–320Hz highpass filter
  • 10Hz–20kHz fully parametric EQ gives you ample control over your tone
  • +48V phantom power for powering condenser mics, active ribbon mics, and mic boosters
  • Switchable mic/line inputs with phase reverse switch

Behringer preamp mic 2200 v2

These are great preamps , they are quiet sound great, I use them to record drums and bass in my studio, nice fat sound, they are also good for vocals, and guitars , I currently have 4 of these units and will add some more in the future, they work well with my tascam model 24,and the price is right, I would recommend them to any one seeking a good preamp at a great price. Thanks

Great preamp for music listening

I've been using this MIC2200 pre with the Behringer KM-1700 amplifier for HiFi music listening for a few years. It sounds great! I just noticed that some component mounted on the bottom cover gets quite hot. Not sure what the component is getting so hot. I will open it up to find out what it is. Not sure if I have a big mismatch somewhere? A preamp is low wattage, so in my experience this is abnormal.

Fantastic sound

I played my electric guitars through this Preamp! The sound is fantastic. Much cleaner or dirtier sound, how ever you set it. All my recordings now go through this Preamp. I do not own a tube amp, and in my opinion this sounds just as good. Also solved feed back problems with the microphone! Excellent piece of gear, you can't go wrong with this preamp.

Best Tube Preamp for the money

I've had other entry level tube preamps. This one has 2 in one housing. The controls are simple and the outcome is immediate. In seconds I enhanced the sound of 2 different vocalists, myself being one of them. Our vocals cut through our live practice mix and I am really excited for using this on our next album. I imagine when it gets to the higher end ones there are major differences, but for the money this one is very solid. Just buy one and see the differences.

Great buy

This is a great product,; especially for the price. It adds a nice even sparkle to everything I put it thE mix. Very easy to use and you don't need a manual or a couple of grand to get a very pleasant harmonic distortion to your sound. A great buy :-)
