Invisible Mic Preamp (IMP)
Five years in the making, the Invisible Mic Preamp (IMP) is a superior mic preamp that delivers crystal-clear audio with incredible reproduction of the slightest nuances. It matches or exceeds the
performance of outboard mic preamps. You get extreme bandwidth of 5 Hz to 100 kHz coupled to unusually neutral, noise- and distortion-free circuitry.
The BEHRINGER IMP provides ultra-linear frequency response up to 100 kHz.
The result of perfect design. Almost unmeasurable distortion for your signal integrity.
24 bit/ 46 kHz
Digital recordings are often done at a depth of 16 bits, which breaks up the dynamic range between the loudest and quietest portions of a signal into 65,536 steps. We use the finer resolution of 24 bits, which divides the signals¡¯ loudest-to-softest dynamic range into 16,777,216 steps, allowing for far more accurate rendering of the quieter parts of the audio. Audio signals change constantly, so a digital device must capture these
changes as faithfully as possible. The higher the sampling rate, the better. Our consoles use a sampling rate of 46,000 times per second. To capture any given frequency, a digital signal¡¯s sampling rate must be roughly twice that frequency. The sampling rate of 46 kHz is more than adequate for capturing all signals in the audible range—the human ear can not hear the sounds whose frequency is higher than 20 kHz.
Ultra low-noise (ULN)
ULN stands for the Ultra low-noise design of our circuitry. It is based on extremely low-impedance components that keep thermal inherent noise and crosstalk at an
absolute minimum. The result: your console is considerably less noisy and crosstalk between neighboring channels is virtually non-existent.

Switch-mode power supply (SMPS)
Every console in the PRO series uses our state-of-the-art, over-sized, switch-mode power supply with lots of headroom. One of the great advantages is that (compared to conventional circuits) a switch-mode power supply adapts to mains voltages between 100 and 240 volts automatically. Furthermore, due to its much greater efficiency,
it consumes much less energy than a conventional supply unit. Even more important is the fact that conventional transformers always induce 50 Hz hum (check it out on other mixers when you turn up all volume controls). Our switch-mode supply operates at very high frequency and therefore keeps the mixer dead quiet.
