Behringer ULTRAVOICE UV1

Add polish to your vocals and instruments with the Behringer ULTRAVOICE UV1, a full-featured channel strip with a high-end microphone preamp, versatile sound processing, and an integrated professional-grade USB audio interface capable of up to 192 kHz / 24-bit resolution.

The UV1 utilizes a Midas-designed preamplifier with +48V phantom power and an ultralow noise, high-gain output. The integrated sound processing includes a compressor with drive and density controls, a de-esser with frequency and threshold controls, a dynamics enhancer for dialing in high- and low-frequency detail, and an expander gate, which automatically removes unwanted surrounding noise. The rear panel also includes insert (send and return) connectors for adding additional outboard gear to your signal chain.

Midas-Designed Microphone Preamplifier

ULTRAVOICE UV1 comes with a state-of-the-art Midas microphone preamplifier with +48V phantom power, ultralow noise, high gain, and audiophile quality.

Clear Signal Path at 192 kHz

The ULTRAVOICE UV1 is a mic preamp and voice processor with an integrated USB audio interface with the highest possible resolution and lowest latency. Full 192 kHz sampling rate at a clear 24-bit resolution will make you smile listening to the astonishingly crisp sound.

Zero-Latency Monitoring

• Recording the voice is one of the most critical tasks in the studio and singers are very sensitive to delays. A few milliseconds can make all the difference between a good or a great take.
• Behringer added a simple but very effective monitoring section to the ULTRAVOICE UV1, which blends between direct input signal and USB playback making it easy to find the best balance while you’re recording.

Flexible Analog and Digital

• Some people prefer to stay in the analog domain, some prefer the shorter path to record directly to the digital. On the ULTRAVOICE UV1 you will get both.
• Connect your PC or Mac directly via USB to get the best vocal sound without detours into your DAW. Connect any analog outboard equipment to the balanced outputs for further signal flow.

Sound Processing

• A high-quality microphone preamp and a brilliant USB interface are the most important tools to integrate vocals into a song arrangement.
• Process your vocals for the best result with the ULTRAVOICE UV1, which features all kind of processing including a Compressor for more punch, a De-Esser to remove sibilants, an Enhancer for dynamic sound details at the lower and upper end of the frequency spectrum, an Expander/Gate to “mute” automatically unwanted surrounding noise, and finally the amp to gain lost levels again.
• Utilize the insert (send/return) for additional outboard gear processing for even more sound improvements.
