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. The second is an integrated limiter that prevents distortion on the output of the MIC200. Various fixed limiter settings are available within some of the 16 preamp models.

EWI PDI-100 PARA ACOUSTIC DI Box
This is a medium grade professional application Para Acoustic Active DI, which will work well on instruments with passive pickups or active pickups.
The construction is reasonably rugged and the components are well suited for the application yielding results that are typically acceptable for all but the most discerning artists.
The on-board tone and volume controls give the operator a lot of choices in shaping their sound prior to sending the signal to the mix console. This allows an artist to use this device in-place of or in addition to a traditional stage amp for their instrument. This is an excellent choice for IEM bands, or bands that like to keep their stage volume low.
This item is typically used to split the instrument signal going to a stage amp so a feed can be sent also to the mix board, or be used as a stand-alone instrument pre-amp. It is equipped with a ¼” jack for input, a 1/4" jack for output to a stage amp, one XLR jack for the send to the board and a TRS jack for inserting an FX device.Since this is an active D.I. box, it needs to be powered which can be done either with Phantom Power from the mix board, or with the supplied internal 9v battery. The battery is fairly easy to change by removing one screw in the bottom of the case.

| Vacuum Tube Mic Preamp. 12AX7 Vacuum Tube. +48V Phantom Power, 20dB Pad.
This premium tube mic/line preamp features an integrated limiter for studio,
live and hard disk recording applications. It features a carefully-selected
12AX7 vacuum tube with Behringer's UTC technology for exceptional warmth
and lowest noise. Using the MIC100 is a great way to eliminate the "dull"
sound of standard digital recorders & sound cards. Also, it perfectly
complements studio-grade condenser mics. When used as a high-end DI-box,
it ensures outstanding signal integrity. Features also include a phase reverse
switch, +48 V phantom power, a 20 dB pad, and balanced I/O.
The heart of the Tube Untragain is an extremely low-noise microphone preamp
circuitry that uses discrete components and produces a highly trans-parent
sound. In combination with Behringer's tube technology, the operational amplifiers
4580 and a sophisticated circuit topology, the Tube Untragain yields excellent
noise and distortion properties. The innovative UTC circuitry that has been developed
by our engineering team offers an abundance of sound-shaping possibilities.
Absolute musicality was Behringer's major goal when we designed the Tube
Untragain. The result is a device that, thanks to our tube circuitry, lends an
incredible punch to percussion instruments. On the other hand, instruments
that are rich in upper harmonics will receive more transparency. The sound
will be warm, detailed and brilliant.

PreSonusʼ popular Class A XMAX preamps are widely lauded for their clarity and transparency. Our tube preamps are beloved for their warm, smooth sound. With the Blue Tube DP V2 dual-path mic/instrument preamp, you get both types of high-quality sound in one unit.
Now weʼve improved on the classic unit with the BlueTube DP V2. The solid-state path now feeds PreSonusʼ top-of-the-line Class A XMAX™ mic preamplifier with 80 dB of variable gain—an upgrade from the original BlueTube DPʼs solid-state stage.
You still get all the secondary features you expect in a professional-grade preamp: 48V phantom power, an 80 Hz high-pass filter, -20 dB pad to control hot input signals, and a polarity-reverse switch. Each channel has an illuminated VU meter so you can visually monitor your input levels.
A Tube Drive control provides a wide range of sounds: when itʼs clicked off, youʼre using the solid-state preamp for quiet, transparent amplification; when itʼs engaged, your signals flow through the tube preamp, and you can achieve anything from gentle warmth to edgy distortion.
2 input channels, each with:
High-headroom Class A XMAX™ mic preamplifier with 80 dB gain range
12AX7 vacuum tube gain stage
Tube Drive tube-saturation control
48V phantom power
80 Hz high-pass filter
-20 dB pad to reduce hot input levels
