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.

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

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Q: 1. Will this work with Windows 10?

A: Not compatible with Windows 10.

Q: 2. Hello,I need a lightweight battery powered preamp. It will be used for nature sounds recording with a matched pair Rode NT5 and a Tascam DP008EX recorder. This preamp doesn't have XLR outs bu 1/4'', and the recorder has 2 1/4'' inputs. Is it possible to use this preamp with my recorder?Thanks!Dani

A: Hi Dani,Yes, you can use the 1/4 outputs from the preamplifier to directly drive the 1/4 inputs in your recorder. you only need to buy or build two simple cables with plugs at both ends. As far as signal voltage levels are concerned, I don't expect any problem because you can comfortably adjust the preamplifier monitor level to prevent saturation of your recorder inputs (by the way, the 1/4 outputs and the 1/8 outputs both depend on the monitor knob). As far as equalization is concerned, I don't expect a problem either, assuming the recorder inputs have a flat response - i.e. are not designed for musical instruments (if the latter applies, you might need re-equalization during recording or playback, but I'd not consider this as a drawback). Therefore, this wonderful preamplifier meets your needs. Cheers from Italy.

Q: 3. Can you use this with a DSLR to record sound?

A: Yes, the DR-40X can be used to record audio for video filmed with a DSLR camera. The audio tracks recorded on the DR-40X can be combined with the video tracks in post production.

Q: 4. Can one use this simply as a stereo mic amplifier with a 9v battery and no USB connection?

A: The ART USB Dual Pre can operate as a standalone mic preamp using 9V battery or AC power.

Q: 5. Will this work as a headphone amp/ dac as well as microphone amp? Am wanting to improve sound from laptop to headphones

A: Do not understand what you mean with dac . If the purpose is to improve the laptop output, I suggest you look for something else, as this pre-amp was conceived for high quality Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC) from microphones. The headphone level you've got with this pre-amp is just for monitoring purposes during recording, thus the output level is quite comparable to what's provided by a laptop.

Q: 6. Does the USB connection power the device instead of internal batteries?

A: Yes, the DR-40X can be powered via USB instead of using the device's internal battery.

Q: 7. Is it possible to record from the XLR inputs and the onboard mics simultaneously?

A: Yes. Its on-board unidirectional condenser mics can be set for a wide or tight stereo image, and may be used simultaneously with the mic/line combo inputs.

Q: 8. Does it work combining the Right and Left output into single mono output by using a Y-cable?

A: Yes, it does. I use it with GarageBand and both microphones are being used. I am a hypnotherapist and needed two mins to record both my client and myself and it works perfectly. Hope this helps.

Q: 9. Am I able to use the line out jack to connect this with an iPad or iPhone?

A: I am afraid not. These iOS devices are looking for a microphone input.

Q: 10. Can you confirm that you can run all 24 analog outputs from the DAC at 192Khz simultaneously, and at what bit depth (24 or 32) ?

A: Yes, the MOTU 24Ao USB/AVB 72 Channel Audio Interface can run 24 analog outputs simultaneously. The analog outputs offer 32-bit trim in the DAC and are also adjustable in 1 dB increments.
