Very good overall condition, it has some marks around the body but nothing major. Power supply included.
The MIC100 is perfect for studio and live applications. The balanced ¼" TRS and gold-plated XLR inputs and outputs give you maximum flexibility in either scenario. It derives its personality from a hand-selected 12AX7 tube with UTC technology for superior tube character and low-noise operation. The MIC100 is ideally-suited for use with standard digital recorders and sound cards, imbuing signals with the warmth, presence and classic tube-compression that will bring your digital tracks to life.
The incredible MIC100 controls consist of: switches for +48 V phantom power 20 dB pad, Phase Reverse and Limiter; plus vintage-style Gain and Output knobs. An 8-segment LED meter provides accurate monitoring of output levels. And when used as a high-end DI (Direct Injection) box in the studio or on the stage, the MIC100 delivers flawless performance and outstanding signal integrity.
Steal at USD45—well below the used market median of USD143. For the Behringer MIC100 Tube Ultragain, recent comparable listings peg the 25th percentile at USD70 and 75th at USD307, making this a clear bargain if it's functional. Unknown condition keeps some risk, but at this price, it's worth a close look for budget-conscious enthusiasts chasing that warm tube preamp tone without breaking the bank.
Verify tube health and limiter function first—those are common failure points on these units after heavy use. Check for original power supply and any rack ears included, as replacements add up. Test for hum or noise floor issues from age-related capacitor drift, and confirm all knobs turn smoothly without crackle. Solid buy if it passes those checks.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Behringer traces its roots to January 25, 1989, when Uli Behringer founded the company in Willich, Germany. A self-taught electronics enthusiast who built his first synthesizer at age 16, Uli drew inspiration from his father's church organ projects and his own struggles as a pianist and sound engineer. Unable to afford professional studio gear, he began crafting affordable alternatives for himself and friends, rapidly scaling from a home workshop into a full production facility. This DIY heritage underscores Behringer's mission to democratize high-quality audio tools.
The brand excels in a vast array of pro-audio and hi-fi categories, including mixers, compressors, amplifiers, powered speakers, DJ controllers, synthesizers, and signal processors. Early hits like the 1990 MDX8000 Combinator and 1996 EURODESK MX8000 mixer paved the way for expansions into guitar pedals, studio monitors, and boutique recreations of vintage synths. Manufacturing shifted to China in the 1990s, enabling massive scale while maintaining patented innovations.
Behringer occupies the entry-to-mid-tier market, renowned for its "double the features, half the price" ethos that delivers solid performance to hobbyists, live sound pros, and budget-conscious studios. While praised for value and reliability in live and project-studio settings, it faces criticism for build quality shortcuts compared to high-end marques, positioning it as a pragmatic choice for discerning buyers prioritizing accessibility over audiophile prestige.
