ART SOLO MPA Single Channel Rackmount Multi-Voice Tube Preamplifier

About: ART SOLO MPA Single Channel Rackmount Multi-Voice Tube Preamplifier

The SOLO MPA Multi-Voice Tube Preamplifier allows users to blend between a pristine low-noise/low-distortion solid-state transistor circuit and a warmer Class-A tube mic preamp.

The flexible EQ controls allow users to voice the SOLO MPA to create their signature sound. Featuring 48V phantom power and a variable input impedance control, users can tailor the SOLO MPA to suit their microphone of choice, be it a high-quality dynamic, a studio-grade condenser, or a low-level ribbon

The SOLO Series of single-channel rackmount units have been developed for the recording enthusiast with a preference for simplicity.
