TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC100 Controls
Controls
(EN)
(1) 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.
(2) This is the balanced XLR OUTPUT of
your MIC100. Use this connector to feed
the XLR input of your mixing console,
multitrack recorder or power amp.
(3) The balanced ¼" TRS OUTPUT of your
MIC100 can also be connected to either
mixer, recording system or power amp.
(4) The balanced ¼" TRS INPUT of your
MIC100 can be used to connect your
electric guitar, for example. This input is
wired parallelly to the XLR input.
(5) Use the balanced XLR INPUT to connect
your microphone.
◊
In contrast to its outputs,
the MIC100's inputs should never
be used simultaneously!
(6) The GAIN control allows applying
gain from +26 to +60 dB to the input
signal. This control should be set fully
counterclockwise when (dis)connecting
a sound source to the MIC100. When all
connections are made, slowly start
raising gain.
(7) 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 never all the time.
(8) If your MIC100 is connected to the mains
via the enclosed power supply unit,
the POWER LED lights up to indicate
that your MIC100 is running.
(9) The 20 dB PAD button reduces the input
sensitivity by 20 dB. The appropriate
setting depends on the equipment
connected. No matter what your
application is, the clip LED warns you to
reduce the gain setting, so as to avoid
distortion.
(10) This +48 V switch activates
the phantom power supply for
the XLR input. Phantom power
supply is required for operating
condenser microphones.
(11) 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.

Quick Start Guide
(12) Use the LIMITER switch to limit the
signal and to prevent distortion.
(13) The OUTPUT control governs the
output level of the device within a
range from -∞ to +10 dB. If the control
is set fully counter-clockwise, there is
no output signal at all. The more the
control is set clockwise, the higher the
output level.
