From Our Catalog
We designed the new model Ultra-Voice Digital to meet the requirements of people who work primarily in the digital domain. Based on our popular VX2000, the VX2496 is fully 24-bit/ 96 kHz compatible and features an additional AES/EBU output on top of the numerous voice processing functions of the original model.
Features:
Discrete ULN mic/line input stage with soft mute +48 V phantom power
AES/EBU output with selectable 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sampling rates or external clocking
True RMS expander for smooth noise reduction
Authentic tube emulation circuitry for typical tube and tape saturation sounds
Opto compressor with integrated dynamic enhancer
Voice-optimized equalizer specially designed for voice enhancement
Opto de-esser for quick removal of excessive sibilance from your vocal track
Shielded toroidal power transformer for lowest noise interference

"Perfect choice for small or large studios."
Feature:
This has to be one of the best collections of features in a mic pre-amp. It has everything you need from 48V Phantom Power, Variable LP filtering, expansion, Tube emulation (quite nice, but you really should record your sources dry and add this later), Compression, EQ and DeEssing! Wow...and for ~$100 USD, pick me up off the floor. All these sections operate very very nicely. It also has digital out and balanced XLR connectors.
Quality:
Behringer stuff always surprises me. It is tough, takes a bashing and is reliable. I haven't had the VX2496 very long, but I have various other things from them, I don't expect this will break.
Value:
Seriously, how could the value be anything less, look at the feature list and listen to the sound.
Desirability:
It has a lot of knobs and LEDs (good nerd appeal), but it is a bit sober...nice professional appearance, a rack with a stack of 8 or so would be quite sexy.
Sound:
Lets be serious here, in blind listening this is indistinguishable from gear at 10X the price, it has (when set up correctly) a very clean and classy sound. Compared to how much the equivalent quality would have cost you 15 years ago, buying this is a no brainer. If you are using the VX2496 there is no reason you won't be able to produce professional results.
Support:
Not used.
Overall:
This is the perfect mic preamp for someone who has a small home studio (due to it's flexibility). It will also slot very comfortably into project and larger studios...if you open your ears you will realise you don't need to open your wallet very wide at all.
