TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC20040 41 Quick Start Guide

TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC200 Controls

(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 LED lights up to

indicate that 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 oor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 specic

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.

(EN) Controls

(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 XLR INPUT should

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" TRS OUTPUT of

your 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 nd the strain relief

clamp, which prevents accidental

release of the power supply.
