When dealing with vocals, sound engineers are often very picky. They usually prefer a channel strip over a mixing console due to its excellent sound quality and flexibility. The ULTRAVOICE UV1 is a well - featured channel strip. It comes with a top - notch microphone preamplifier, diverse sound processing functions. You can either output the processed sound through balanced analog outputs or send it to the internal USB interface. Key features include a Midas - designed preamplifier for all mic and line - level sources, a high - quality mic processor for optimal recordings, a 192 kHz USB audio interface for direct computer connection, a flexible compressor for level control and creative sound processing, an effective de - esser to remove excessive sibilance, an integrated dynamic enhancer to add lost high frequencies, a true RMS expander for smooth noise reduction, send and return connectors for external processors, input/playback mix control, accurate LED metering, various connectors, illuminated switches for dark environments, and a low - noise internal switch - mode power supply.
Using the Behringer ULTRAVOICE UV1 is easy. First, connect your microphone or other line - level sources to the appropriate inputs (you can use ¼' TRS, XLR, or Combo connectors). Then, connect the UV1 to your computer via the USB interface. Adjust the input/playback mix control to balance the direct monitor and USB playback signals. You can use the various sound processing features like the compressor, de - esser, and dynamic enhancer to improve your sound. When it comes to the switch - mode power supply, make sure to use a power source within the 100 - 240 V~ range. For maintenance, keep the device clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you need to add external processors, use the send and return connectors carefully. And don't forget to check the LED meters regularly to monitor the level and processing status.
