UL TRA-G GI100 2 Welcome to BEHRINGER! Thank you for showing your confidence in us by purchasing the ULTRA-GI GI100. In addition to the numerous advantages of an excellent DI box, the GI100 features an extremely authentic, pure analog simulation of a 4x12" guitar speaker cabinet. On stage and in the studio, it is often desirable to directly co[...]

3 UL TRA-G GI100 The ULTRA-G is based on the proven BEHRINGER OT-1 transformer, which ensures crystal-clear, distortion-free sound and a wide, linear frequency re- sponse. In addition, it can be powered by the consoles phantom power or by an internal battery. The battery is automatically disconnected when phantom power is present to preser[...]

UL TRA-G GI100 4 1 . CONTROLS Fig. 1.1: The GI100s front and back panels 1 The VIRTUAL 4x12" CAB speaker simulation can be switched on and off with the SIMULATOR ON/OFF switch. 2 When activated, the GND LIFT breaks the ground connection between input and output. Depending on the grounding of the connected equip- ment, this can eliminate hum[...]

5 UL TRA-G GI100 + Before using the PAD switches, be sure that the ULTRA-G is clip- ping, and not the mic preamp on the console. You should only attenuate the input signal via the GI100s PAD switches if its CLIP LED lights up frequently or remains lit. If this is not the case and distortion occurs, check the console settings. It is always best t[...]

7 UL TRA-G GI100 The second example shows the GI100 being driven by the loudspeaker output of a guitar amp. If youre using a tube amp, its very important to connect an impedance loadpreferably a speakerto the DIRECT LINK TO CABINET output in order to prevent damage to your amp. For this application, start with one PAD switch depressed a[...]

UL TRA-G GI100 8 This diagram illustrates two standard DI applications. The signal going to the amp via the DIRECT LINK is unaffected; it is simply picked up and additionally fed, as a balanced, low-impedance signal, to the mic inputs of the mixing console. This is particularly advantageous with bass guitars, since micro- phones that reproduce high[...]

9 UL TRA-G GI100 Fig. 2.3: Connection to an amplifiers output + Before connection to a loudspeaker output, always make sure that the GND LIFT switch is activated (depressed) to prevent accidental short-circuiting of the amplifier output. The metal casing of the GI100 should not have direct contact with other equipment. The tip of the output sock[...]
