recommend attenuation of noisy high frequencies, either with an equalizer or - better still - with a “single-ended”

noise reduction system. The BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO will process those frequencies with all their natu-

ral clarity - but without the tape noise.
We would like to point out in this section that the BEHRINGER company offers a series of extremely powerful

noise reduction systems - the DENOISER series. The noise produced by magnetic tapes or any other signal

sources can be dramatically reduced with the BEHRINGER DENOISER. Not only the noise produced by

mixers, effects devices etc., but also by synthesizers, guitars etc., can be effectively reduced. Copied tapes

and cassettes will benefit from low noise and high dynamics.
The ULTRAFEX PRO when used in conjunction with the BEHRINGER DENOISER will prove an ideal combina-

tion for sound enhancement. Please contact us for further information!

6.3.6 Enhancing The Sound Of Instruments

The bandwidth of most electronic musical instruments is limited by its “sampling rate”. The BEHRINGER

ULTRAFEX PRO can improve the sound, so that synthesizers, samplers and drum machines have a more

natural and transparent sound.
With the BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO even tiny details within the sound of acoustic musical instruments

such as guitars etc., can be emphasized without affecting the overall sound of the instrument. Drum instru-

ments such as toms, bass drums etc., benefit from a “punch” and thus achieve a more powerful, precise and

defined sound.
Please note that low-level signal sources such as microphones, guitars etc. should pass through a preamplifier

before the processing stage, since the BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO is a line-level device (-20 to +10 dBu).

6.3.7 Enhancing The Sound Of P.A. Systems

If used in P.A. and other sound reinforcement systems for background or live music, the BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX

PRO offers astounding advantages:
1. In audio systems for announcements and background music, the BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO is placed

in a similar way to recording and tape duplication - directly before the power amp. The intelligibility and

range of your system will be improved and the sonic image will become clear and transparent, even at low

volume levels. Problems caused by background noise fluctuations, room acoustics (reflections), and

speaker setup can be solved more easily.
For instance, in discos or clubs you do not need to constantly readjust the high frequencies as the place

becomes increasingly crowded; you will be able to protect your speaker system and the hearing of visitors.
Background music in bars and restaurants can be heard easily. It does not annoy your guests because its

volume had to be turned up too far.

2. The sound of any P.A. system will be improved by using the BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO. For example,

the vocals of music groups or speech transmissions will be considerably more transparent and intelligible,

the instruments can be distinguished more easily. The bass will gain in “depth” and power.

The BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO will increase the speaker systems’ acoustic performance and its ability to

penetrate a room, particularly in places with difficult acoustics.
The system also needs less effective amplifier power, since the subjectively heard volume level increases.

Powerful and detailed sound reproduction can also be achieved in “weak” systems. It helps that you do not

have to spend a small fortune on upgrading your system.

6.3.9 Sound Enhancement In Hi-fi And Video

Of course, the BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX PRO can also find applications in the fields of hifi and video. The unit

is simply placed between the signal source (cassette recorder, tuner, VCR etc.) and the power amplifier. We

recommend using the “tape monitor” inputs most preamplifiers provide, thus the BEHRINGER ULTRAFEX

PRO can be switched into any signal source.
