Feature:
The presets are awesome, and you can cross them up by turning the dial between them.

Quality:
Great construction, well protected.

Value:
For $40? This thing is the shiznit.

Desirability:
Looks sleek and fancy.

Sound:
Sounds awesome, I have Yamaha pre-amps that cost me thousands of dollars, I'm selling them because this thing smokes them.

Ease of Use:
If you can turn a volume knob, you can use it.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
I use it in my studio for vocals and for guitars, acoustic and electric. And just an FYI, if you have a Marshall Amp that is really low volume on clean, but on distortion it is really loud. This will fix that issue. Just leave it on clean and attach this and use a distortion pedal and your all good, I would recomend the OCD distortion pedal, it's the most like a true Marshall or the Marshall Guv'nor pedal.

Sound:
This straight forward good sounding pre. The Quality is more than you should expect from a unit in this class and price. The sound is warm and as deatiled as the microphone you are using im using a samson CL8 condenser mic I have a soul, Phil collins type of but voice with a higher range and perfect pitch. I do jingles for Radio and TV. And no one can tell the difference when I use this combo or an Audio technica and focusrite red combo So there!!!!!

Feature:
Does not have power button, has a very sensitive volume and gain controll. And also there's hardly any word in the manual on settings... it took me 2 hours to find out that volume must be adjusted by the gain controller, and the actual output knob -which I believed was used for adjusting the volume- should then just have a very little value to gain optimal, noisless output signal.

Quality:
Not the most attractive unit I have ever seen, but it looks massive at least.

Value:
This is definitly one of the best buys you can get for your money in this price range. Other units may sound better, and also cost 5 times more, but if this will be your first preamp, I suggest buying it. You will experience a dramatic change in the quality of recorded voice!

Sound:
Realy nice, warm and detailed sound when used with a condenser microphone (Behringer B1) Also makes a perfect match with the B1, when recording electric guitar in front of the mic. whilst recording it clean on an other chanel the same time.

Feature:
The basic gain, output and presets are simple enough and easy to figure out and use. I really wish there were just knobs to manually adjust the warmth/limiter, but these presets are fine. I pretty much just use the Vocal/limiter setting and it works fine. no complaints. Overall, pretty cut and Dry, but not for the extra picky.

Quality:
It's ok I guess. I had the feeling of "Extremely Fragile" when I was handling it. Maybe that was all the reviews I heard about Vacuum Tubes and I didn't want to ruin mine. Bue Either way, I guess it will be alright sitting next to my mixer(Unless my monitors fall on it).

Value:
For what I do, there is no denying that this is the cheapest, but the most cost-effective addition for my studio.

Desirability:
Well...I don't want to ruin it...but if I got really desperate...

Sound:
I've read a lot of reviews on this product about needing new tubes and the sound is mediocre. I was even looking into replacement tubes before I got the MIC200. But when I got it, I realized that I don't need anything else. I do Hip-Hop. Simple record-over already made beats. The Mic200 is all that I can ask for. I've always dealt with the preamps that come with Audio interfaces and mixers, so this is the first real preamp that I have ever owned. I combine with a Rode Nt1-A mic with outstanding, crystal clear, extremely warm vocals sent to a Behringer Xenyx1204FX mixer for light EQ and the sound is excellent. The Limiter works very well also, as I can actually SEE the uniformity in each track on my DAW (Samplitude 10). For the money, for anyone using the MIC200 for simple vocal-only Hip-Hop tracks, with a little prior experience on EQ'ing, tracking, and proper mic technique, this unit is definitely worth it.And about the constant hum, I only heard when I turned the volume all the way up on my mixer and my MIC200 just to test headroom. So actually, under normal circumstances, it doesn't exist. GREAT PRODUCT. MUST BUY FOR BUDGET STUDIOS!!

Ease of Use:
Extremely easy to use. Just plug-in, adjust, and be amazed by this small little gray box.

Support:
Nuetral. Haven't had to use it yet.

Overall:
Overall, just a great, inexpensive NECESSITY for my studio and future projects. If it goes out AFTER I feel I got my money's worth, I'll be buying another one instantly.

Feature:
I give this an 8 for two reasons - I find the limiter actually useful for slapping, and it comes with a 1,300 milliamp 9 volt transformer. I really get ticked off when I pay $200 or more for some company's product and the transformer is $20 extra. The Boss PSA is a 300 milliamp 9 volt transformer for $20. So with three connectors, some wire and solder you could power 3 Boss pedals for the price of this preamp........

Quality:
For the price, Behringer products are pretty nicely made. No, you're not getting a point to point hand wired unit in a titanium case, but for $60 the quality is better than you would expect.

Value:
I just can't figure out a use for this with the tube hiss and dead sound. I guess I'll just use the transformer.

Desirability:
Should have tried this before I bought it but no local music store sells Behringer products. I had bought an ULTRA-DI direct box a few years ago expecting junk for the price and it was GREAT, so I was pretty disappointed in this piece of Behringer gear.

Sound:
This thing has way too much tube hiss. It takes endless fiddling around to get the hiss down to acceptable levels. I bought it to give a tube sound to my solid state bass amps and it doesn't - it makes them sound deader. I have a 34 year old tube bass rig (100 watts) that does give a nice tube sound and doesn't hiss as much as this preamp!

Overall:
This thing is just too noisy and doesn't sound good at all to me.

Feature:
The modeling is awesome, there are so many nice settings that can help modify your sound. The gain is great because is lets you decide how much tube warmth you want. The limiter is also a nice feature. It's small, portable. I wish you could use a 9v battery though.

Quality:
Behringer makes some good stuff, this is no exception.

Value:
You are actually getting a real tube, modeling, and a limiter all for a super low price. Excellent quality. I can't think of a much better deal than that

Desirability:
I've got a boner for tubes, so this is a must. The amp modeling also makes this product very appealing. It's a terrific buy for the price.

Sound:
Its got great tone

Ease of Use:
It's pretty simple. The output is your volume, the gain is warmth, and if you want, find a modeling setting that suits you.

Overall:
I know there are probably better products out there, but I am very happy with this, so that's all that matters as far as I'm concerned. Also the price is unbeatable. It's an awesome tube preamp that's worth it's weight in gold.

Feature:
It's got everything you could ever want in a preamp. Period.

Quality:
It looks like I could hit it with a bat and it wouldn't hurt it. The fit and finish is superb.

Value:
For the price, this unit is amazing.

Sound:
This is an amazing preamp for the price. It has many settings which are easy to figure out - Record a track using one, then another, compare, repeat - And it works amazingly well with my MXL V57M mic. The bad side is, there is a slight hiss, however unless you're recording nothing through your mic, it's inaudible, as I couldn't detect the hiss over top of any vocal tracks.

Ease of Use:
I gave this a 6 simply because the manual was not very useful for figuring out the settings. Once you learn how to adjust the controls (10 minutes tops), it's very simple to use.

Support:
Haven't needed to call.
