TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC200 Controls
Controls
(EN)
(1) The GAIN control allows you to control
the gain from +26 to +60 dB to the
input signal. This control should be
set all the way to the left when (dis)
connecting a sound source from the
MIC200. When all connections are made,
slowly start raising the gain control.
(2) We recommend using the LED meter to
adjust gain. The LED chain displays the
output signal level in dB. Please make
sure that the clip LED never lights up
permanently. It should light up only at
peak signals, but it should never be on
all the time.
(3) If your MIC200 is connected to the mains
via the enclosed power supply unit,
the POWER lights up to indicate that
LED
your MIC200 is running.
(4) The 20 dB PAD switch reduces the input
sensitivity by 20 dB (switch pressed).
The appropriate setting depends on
the equipment connected. Generally
speaking, lowering the signal level in
mic applications is not recommended.
No matter what your application is,
the clip LED warns you to reduce the
gain setting to avoid distortion.
(5) This +48 V switch activates the
phantom power supply for the XLR
input. Phantom power supply is
required for operating condenser
microphones. Dynamic microphones
require no phantom power.
(6) Press the LOW CUT switch to eliminate
undesired subsonic noise, such as
floor rumble.
(7) With the PHASE REVERSE switch,
the input signal is reversed by 180°.
This function is available for both mic
and line signals. Use this function
in a multi-microphone setup if you
detect phase cancellations in specific
frequency bands.
(8) The OUTPUT control governs the output
level within a range from to +10 dB.
-∞
If the control is turned all the way to
the left, there is no output signal at all.
The more the control is turned to the
right, the higher the output level.
(9) The PREAMP MODE rotary switch gives
you a wide selection of preamp presets.
The options available are: WARM,
WARM/LIMITER, LIMITER and NEUTRAL.

Quick Start Guide
(10) The balanced ¼" TRS INPUT of your
MIC200 can be used to connect your
electric guitar, for example. This input is
wired parallell to the XLR input.
Ideally, the balanced should
XLR INPUT
be used to connect a microphone.
◊ In contrast to its outputs,
the MIC200's inputs should never be
used simultaneously!
(11) This is the balanced XLR OUTPUT of
your MIC200. Use this connector to feed
the XLR input of your mixing console,
multitrack recorder or power amp.
The balanced ¼" of your
TRS OUTPUT
MIC200 can also be connected to a
mixer, recording system or power amp.
(12) Use the POWER SUPPLY CONNECTOR
to hook up the enclosed power supply
unit. Next to this connector you'll find
the strain relief clamp, which prevents
accidental release of the power supply.
