Behringer MIC2200 V2 — 2-Channel Tube Microphone Preamp with Parametric EQ

The Behringer MIC2200 V2 is a 2-channel audiophile vacuum tube microphone preamp for project studios, podcasters, and live rigs. A hand-selected 12AX7 tube inside the 1U chassis imparts the harmonic saturation digital recordings typically lack.

Tube Tone With Parametric Control

What separates this unit from budget solid-state competitors is the marriage of a real 12AX7 tube with a fully parametric single-band EQ per channel. The mic input stage uses discrete, conjugate transistor pair circuitry for ultra-low-noise performance.

Signal Path and Gain

With up to 60 dB of microphone gain, the unit drives low-output dynamics and ribbon mics without forcing the interface preamp to work at full tilt.

• Number of Channels: 2 — identical, fully independent preamp channels
• Maximum Gain: 60 dB — drives low-output dynamics and ribbon mics without straining the interface preamp
• Phantom Power — switchable +48 V per channel for condenser and active ribbon mics

EQ and Tone Shaping

Each channel carries a fully parametric single-band EQ with dedicated controls for center frequency, bandwidth, and level, sweeping across an ultra-wide 10 Hz to 200 kHz bandwidth. A switchable highpass filter covers 12 Hz to 320 Hz.

• EQ Type: Fully parametric single-band with center frequency, bandwidth, and level controls
• Highpass Filter Range: 12 Hz to 320 Hz — tunable to remove rumble and proximity effect

Connectivity and Form Factor

The 19" / 1U rackmount chassis fits any standard studio rack, with balanced XLR plus 1/4" TRS I/O on both channels. A switchable mic/line input accepts line-level sources.

• Inputs: XLR and 1/4" TRS per channel, mic/line switchable
• Outputs: XLR and 1/4" TRS per channel, balanced for long cable runs
• Form Factor: 19" / 1U rackmount — fits standard studio and live racks
