ART Pro MPAII Microphone Preamplifier

The new ART ProMPA II is the next generation in affordable high performance microphone preamp technology. Each microphone input circuit, with selectable 48v phantom power, features variable input impedance which can radically vary the overall performance of any high quality dynamic or ribbon microphone. The ProMPA II can be configured for dual mono or stereo operation with selectable mid/side mic support, summing the adjacent channel, to decode left/right signals.

Features
Variable Input Impedance For Flexible Microphone Voicing (150 Ohms To 2400 Ohms)

Selectable Plate Voltage

Large VU Meters

Backlit Function Switches

Discrete Class-A Input Microphone Preamplifier

Low Noise at Lower Gain Settings

Extremely Low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

Wide Frequency Response

Additional Front Mounted Instrument Input Jack

Supports Mid/Side Miking Technique

Operates at +4dbm/-10dbv Output

Selectable Stereo/Dual Operation of Output Controls

Automatic Instrument Input Selection

The ProMPA II can operate at either a low or high plate voltage on the two integrated hand-selected 12AX7 tubes for wider variation of preamp tone and performance. Large back-lit analog VU output meters display input or output levels while multi-colored LED arrays, with average or peak hold, show tube gain.

Housed in a standard 2u space rack-mountable steel chassis, with CNC routed black anodized aluminum face panel, the ProMPA II is designed to deliver years of reliable operation in the studio, production facility, or on the road for live sound reinforcement.

Pro Dynamic Processors: The Digital MPA(TM) Solid Gold.
A professional microphone preamplifier is defined by warmth, presence and clarity - core elements that make an audio processor desirable. They've designed a microphone preamplifier that captures all these elements, with an exceptionally affordable price. Introducing the Digital MPA(TM) by ART. With features like variable input impedance, selectable plate voltage, dual differential Class A inputs, digital outputs and sample rates up to 192kHz, it is truly a modern day classic.

Tube MP: The World's Most Popular External Tube Mic Preamp.
Whether you're working with a computer, hard disk or digital multi-track recorder, the Tube MP's TEC award nominated design will allow you to obtain professional results at an affordable price. ART preamps offer warm tone, useful features, and are innovatively designed. ART's line of Tube MP products add presence, clarity and fullness to any signal, and is exceptionally low-noise. Their Tube MP Studio V3(TM) features V3(TM) Technology (Variable Valve Voicing), which provides optimized reference points to begin the recording process. V3(TM) delivers a wide variety of settings designed for various microphones and DI inputs, including guitars, basses, keyboards, synths, electronic drums and much more. Don't settle for a copy-cat lookalike. Go with the real thing - the Tube MP by ART!

Dynamic Tube Processors
TPS & DPS ART TPS features two channels of award-winning ART microphone preamplification. The DPS has the same preamplifier design, and adds ART's critically acclaimed 24 Bit - 96kHz A/D converter - for warm, vibrant and clean digital audio. As with the TPS, the DPS features our V3(TM), which delivers a wide range of professional sounding presets designed to seamlessly integrate and enhance every microphone, musical instrument and direct signal you process.
