Behringer T1953 Tube UltraGain Mic/Line Pre Amplifier Silver

The Behringer T1953 Tube Ultragain is just what you need. Pros know - there's nothing like a tube preamp to introduce a little warmth to those chilly digital bitstreams! In the T1953, Behringer gives you an ultralow-noise, discrete, high-end tube mic/line pre-amp with extremely wide bandwidth for an open sound. With twin selected 12AX7 tubes and Ultratube technology, the T1953 delivers extremely musical sound. With servo-balanced inputs and a -10dBV to +4dBu, it's an awesome stereo tube DI. The T1953 also includes a soft mute function for 48V phantom power to eliminate switch-on noise; tunable and switchable 12dB high-pass filter; phase switch; a relay-controlled input switch for maximum signal purity;

OVERALL OPINION

The fit and finish of this unit is up there with higher priced mic pre's. I'm not sure about the durability of this unit, as it went straight from the box to my rack.

I am really impressed with this entry level mic pre. Do I love it? Nah however I am in extreme like with this joint. It gets the job done what more can you ask for.

Condition is Fair/Good. Few marks and scuffs on the front panel, more around the mount holes. There is a clear panel on the far right of the front which has slipped inside the unit. 

The item has been stored in my loft a number of years, I have done nothing more than a power on test, hence being sold as Spares/Repairs.
