This is a review of the Behringer Ultragain Pro MIC2200 dual channel microphone and line preamp. In this video, I will show you what comes in the box, how it sounds, and why I purchased it.

“Most of the videos online about it suck” straight to the point brother 😂

Great review. Behringer gear makes having a studio afordable for beginners, now I'm recording for labels and my studio has a lot of behringer gear. No regrets.

The sound really made a difference when you used the preamplifier 👍🔈. Nice description of sounds too. ✨

Excellent video, the kind of thing you wish to have for every product ever !

Just caught your video. Don't know how I missed it cause I've looked for videos on this piece before. This was excellent. I've being using one of this for ... hmmm long time now, actually 20 years but have expanded my inputs and was thinking of getting a few more. It runs in my studio, always plugged in and turned on. Only problem is that after 2 decades I had too open it up and lube the pots and switches, something that needs to be done with most gear. But I wanted to mention to anyone interested who is reading this that like you, I dont use the EQ section. The eq section is a bit risky for recording (at least when I'm using it, my taste changes with my mood). So ... agree with you, great preamp regardless of price. Considering the price its vey impressive. Just roll off the bottom, drive the gain to taste and go. Always a better sound than without anything and better sound than any of the channel strips I have in my studio. If Behringers build quality is as good as it was twenty years ago then my time using it can attest to that. One more thing, I don't like the eq part of this unit but luckily one can completely bypass the eq while still employing the bass roll off (for singers I roll off much higher than you, probably 100 and above. Just got to remember to switch it off when switching cables all around to record bass guitar or drums) Excellent video, thanks for making it. Sincerely Todd Greenwood Saskatchewan Canada

Great review. We are using the UMC202hd right now. it works for great for us. We are behringer fans

Appreciate the review. I'm looking at the preamp to boost and color my signal for a bi-amped/stereo bass rig, as it's the cheapest solution I've found with tubes, and this video answered my questions nicely.

I purchased the same item. It helped me understand how to set it up.

Thanks for that. Answered all my questions on my new purchase.

That TRS outputs are also ballanced outputs, only TRS, instead XLR. I love the sound of this preamp. Mine is almost 20 years old.

It seems like a nice unit and it doesn't cost any more than the pure gain boxes but it has more features and it's more configurable. It's nice to see that the 1/4 inch plugs are balanced.

Great review I love berhinger and ive been wanting a preamp and seen this one and was thinking might as well stay with the same brand. I got the fca610 interface and x touch so I feel adding this to my collection would be perfect thanks

Big Trouble in Little China!!!! Great Movie! Oh, nice demo too. I might go buy one at the pawn shop for $65 tomorrow.

Great review! I think your microphone sounds to have some kind of ringing from the stand while you're speaking so you should look for a shock mount which should remove that issue.

I'm thinking of getting one of these as a stereo line preamplifier for a Behringer Deepmind 12 that has a very low output.

Hi Shane, I’m used to seeing you with a Telecaster playing blues on your other channel so it was really good to see you here as I’m considering buying one if these preamps. Great review!

thanks buddy!

this video is showing off 2 preamps simultaneously , the Behringer and UR22 interface. The behringer should go in the interface using the line to minimize the interface preamp color (DI). Its why your input is way down + 2 preamps, noise floor down on interface but increased from 2200. I see it has a input and output, maybe nxt video you could pick up the gain and drop the output to hear tube saturation. But thanks for the vid anyways still worth watching for some insight, I need a cheap solution for my synths and this seems affordable and extremely useful for its price.

I have always wondered if it's better to use the 48V say on the Berringer unit or on the audio box or both?

Thinking of getting one of these combined with MDX2600

I’m just now checking out this video. And I must say I’m digging this behringer ultragain pro. I just can’t find it in stock

very much your efforts to help us noobs out.

Do you think it could be good for live singers?

Finaly a decent video !

i have this running in to my Focusrite (sound card) same as you. and im trying to use the same settings as you do. but with the Direct Monitor 'on' i here threw Audacity as i play back a recording a fuzzy like maybe some frequency buzzing i don't know how to describe it, is there a way to get ride of this noise or should i invest in a EQ? is see Behringer makes a nice one. thanks for the video.

Amazing video 🔥

Hi 👋 did you know that Freq. Oct and Gain is a 1 band parametric EQ? really useful to to correct your mic problems before you record them

Wish it had hiz input(s)

Can I use it for tape deck( not a microphone)

Is it a good idea use it for a live concert? I'm a singer. thank you so much for the video!

Hey, thanks, but you didn't cover the last two dials...

Mate, great reviews etc, but please support your Aussie base, and place links to Australia supported supplier please so we can get these in Australia supporting Australian suppliers .

what camera are you using to film this?

So you use a lavalier microphone for the podcast ? sounds great

Hey ! I just saw your video, about Ultragain Pro Mic2200 and having 2 question pls. 1. Can i connect Mic to Ultragain and then output to Denon Controller ? And 2. Will i get setting on the mic sound like the setting i have in a mixer ( High , Mid , Low ) ? Thank you for your time .....

Hi! can I connect the output directly to my powered speakers?

Hi! If you connect a guitar to the preamp via a di-box, and then to the sound card? How will the sound change? Can you do a detailed review? I'm thinking of buying a preamp for recording a guitar in line. Guitar - di-box - pre-amp - sound card - pc

@Geeky Nerdy Techy . I have also the combination Behringer. Now if had also a 99 dolar Behringer maximizer f. I hooked it in the in the chain and i.m had a big big surprise. The sound is muts clear An the deep is muts more dynamic. Give it a try and tell me what you think.

I have Behringer UV1 with Procaster mic. Do you think I also need MIC2200 to give more gain to my mic?

many people think that Behringer is bad quality, but it's not that bad. Behringer products are good quality for a low budget, you can't not compare it with Api Audio products or other high-end manufacturers whose prices are much higher.

How much gain can you squeeze out of it? Got two ribbon mics, requiring at least 60-70 dB boost.

Which one do you prefer, this MIC2200 or the DBX 286?

TBH you want to drive the Behringer with hotter signal and leave your Steinberg input at zero or better yet use the line out of the Mic2200 into the line in of your steinberg! The way your running the 2200 into the Steinberg is at mic level! Thats causing both preamps to process the mic signal!

how connect output interface to camera?thanks.

Can I use this unit to power passive speakers?

Hi. I notice on B&H and Sweetwater this unit has been discontinued and is no longer available. Is there a replacement unit you like? Thx.

How do people use headphones to hear their voice without latency mixing with other computer output ? What gear do you use?

ProMIC2200 is V1 or V2? in fact, what”s difference beetwin v1 and v2?

Set it to 100.

how ur mic dont have any noises?

Hi! Recently I've bought a Behringer Ultragain 2200 preamp and want to plug the guitar in. I know that usually when I'd plug my guitar to the amp or audio interface the input impendance would be around 1 milion ohms and this preamp I bought has input impendance of 60k ohm (as I read in the manual). With 60k impendance compared to 1 milion I reckon it will probably be too less to plug my guitar in. But there's the other thing. Manual says that I can use this gear as a DI box. Does it mean that my high impendance signal from electric guitar passing through the input of the Behringer's 2200 preamp will be turned into low impendance? If yes, it's understandable its line load is about 60k ohms and not 1 milion as it would be in amp and audio interface. Usually DI boxes' output impendance is around 600 ohms. If my gear works the same way, then I'd understand why its line input impendance is around 60k. This way it would be ratio 100:1 (60k:600). So basically my question is, will my gear (preamp) turn the high impendance of my instrument down as DI boxes do and therefore process it with its 60k load, or maybe it doesn't turn it down and the guitar signal will be too hot for the interface (because of the 60k load instead of around milion)?

This vs dbx 286s?

lol... remove the filter from the microphone... instant 'pops' on every P spoken :)

Discontinued

This preamp was beaten by a $5 home made preamp in a double blind test a few years back.
