In terms of noise, it is not as bad as (perhaps due to the cables and the signal). Other than the phone level (I can't remember why I didn't like it - it was some time ago), I am very happy with the product. **Q: Can i record 2 microphones (one condenser and one dynamic) onto seperate tracks at the same time with this?** A: Not at the same time. this is for 1 microphone only. **Q: Can i connect this to a compressor** A: Yes, connections are available **Q: how much headphone impedance/ohms can this power? im planning on using 250ohms-600ohms headphones on these.** A: Will be fine ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for basic needs! *by A***R on May 18, 2018* I wanted to share my thoughts on the MIC500USB.Reviewers before said it’s “useless” as a preamp for headphones.But I have to admit for my “basic needs” it is working fine.Prior I owned a Behringer UMC22 and a AT2035 MIC, which was fine.I got a deal on some Beyerdynamic DT990 and realized too late that they were 250Ohms.250Ohms are fine if you have the right equipment for it. Preamps USB powered only do not have enough juice for 250Ohms headphones, as I had to find out the hard way. With the UMC22 I had to crank the volume to 100% and still was barely hearing enough.I was skeptical while purchasing the MIC500USB if it would make a difference at all.However, I was surprised in a good way. The MIC500USB has more juice on the headphone output compared to the UMC22 and the MIC sounds much nicer as well.When I had to crank up the volume up to 100% earlier, now I can keep it comfortable around 30%. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Under $100 good, clean, warm tube sound. Duplex rec/play over USB. Light compression. I like it *by U***N on August 21, 2022* It sounds great! It is subtle, not like an effect - but the recorded sound really cuts through the mix better than my previous (inexpensive) solid state preamp/mixer even with the same microphone. It actually can do two inputs at the same time, or switch between them in your DAW. The various settings do sound different, accenting particular frequency bands perhaps? I am basically using this as an audio interface- though using it this way presents some challenges (a separate volume/level for the monitorand playback device would make it easier) but honestly, it sounds so good i am happy to fiddle with it a bit! Worth every nickel!! UMF ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad for this price *by K***S on October 4, 2019* The preamp is more noisy than I would have liked. Supposedly you can improve the tone and reduce the noise by replacing the tube with a higher quality one, but I'm not about to futz about trying to find out if that will work and how well.The gain can't be set at low enough levels, and the tone dial thing has only minimal effect. On the plus side, it's nice to be able to control the headphone volume separately. Windows picked it up plug and play without any trouble.The 48v phantom power, 20 db pad, low cut filter, and LED level meter and clip warning all worked flawlessly and are very useful features. Line level input and zero-latency monitor (with on/off). At this price point, this is a great little pre-amp, and USB / audio interface. Simple to set up and use. easy to operate, and budget priced. The noisy pre-amp was the deal killer for me though. ## Frequently Bought Together - Behringer MIC500USB Audiophile Vacuum Tube Preamplifier - Behringer B-1 Large-diaphragm Condenser Mic - Samson SR850 Professional Semi-Open Studio Reference Monitoring Headphones --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/40637846-behringer-tube-ultragain-mic500usb-audiophile-vacuum-tube-preamplifier-with-preamp](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/40637846-behringer-tube-ultragain-mic500usb-audiophile-vacuum-tube-preamplifier-with-preamp) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
