ART TUBE MP Project Series Tube Preamp

About: ART TUBE MP Project Series Tube Preamp

How do you update a classic? The Tube MP Project Series builds on the authentic tone of the original Tube MP with extended features to capture rich, warm sound when performing or recording.

• Extremely Low Noise
• Discrete Front End Up to 70dB of Clean, “Musical” Gain
• High Output Signal Drive Capability
• Fast FET Limiter to Prevent Overload
• Switch Selectable Input Impedance
• Precision LED Metering
• Built-in Low Noise Phantom Power Supply
• XLR and 1/4″ Inputs and Outputs
• Phase Invert Switch
• High Cut Filter Switch
• Variable Input and Output Controls
• Compact, Stackable all Aluminum Chassis

Like the original, it’s a character preamp and instrument DI with XLR and 1/4” connections, phantom power, boost, and phase reversal.

Enhancements start with increased input gain, so it’s an ideal option to pair with a low-output microphone or get more tube saturation. Switchable impedance lets you tailor the response of the preamp to your microphone for additional tonal options.

It also adds a switchable FET limiter to tame transients and prevent unwanted clipping, a high-pass filter to reduce low-frequency rumble and tighten bass, and multi-segment LED metering.

With new capabilities and a stackable desktop enclosure, the Project Series version provides everything musicians have loved about the Tube MP for thirty years - and more.
