Behringer VX2000 Ultra-Voice Pro Mic Preamp/Voice Processor

No longer available at zZounds
Voice-optimized equalizer. Opto-compressor.

Behringer's new Ultra-Voice Pro is a high-end signal processor that combines mic preamp, equalizer, compressor, expander, de-esser, and tube emulation in one single rack space, making it the perfect tool for direct-to-disk recording. However, it also serves brilliantly in especially demanding live applications.

On top of that, it's also extremely easy to use: just connect your microphone or line signal and adjust the input gain, eliminate unwanted frequencies, choose between expander and gate functions, and use the tube emulation to add warmth to your sound. Control the dynamic range using the opto-compressor, add aural enhancement, and finally shape your sound with the 3-band EQ. Still too much sibilance? No problem, thanks to the integrated opto-de-esser. Put the final polish on your vocals with the Ultra-Voice Pro.

It will be here for a long time. It has it's use and I will use it good.
Sound
The low mids are not as full as i would like, but I really love this piece on BGV's. The compressor works great
Features
The Tube Emulation in FULL BW add nice top end openiness and harmonics. But I don;t use it often. Mayeb i'll try it on some whisper tracks. I Like the opto Compressor. Very nice. The Eq is cool. Especially for warming up stuff. The De-Esser chain even bypassed dulls the sound tremendously. I'd skip it altogether.
Quality
It's a Behringer.
Value
Excellent Value for the Money.
The Wow Factor
Ugly, but functional. Focusrite is much sexier.
