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 Behringer 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!
