A Lot Of Tube Sound For NOT A Lot Of Money!

The Tube MP Studio V3 features ART's new V3 (Variable Valve Voicing) Technology. V3 provides optimized reference points to begin the recording process. The V3 presets were created and fine-tuned by some of the industry's top studio and live-sound engineers, along with ART's accomplished engineering department. V3 allows you to select between a multitude of preamp settings designed for guitars (electric and acoustic), keyboards, bass guitars, drums, vocals and more. V3 gives you incredible presets for every instrument you record, so all your recordings will sound professional. Need to tweak the presets? Go right ahead -- hone your perfect tone! That's the power of V3.

V3 also incorporates ART's OPL (Output Protection Limiter), which precisely and accurately controls and maintains the output peak signal. The OPL circuitry is crucial in protecting the next link in a signal chain - such as a hard-disk recording system or a sound card.

While it's primary application is to be used with a microphone, the Tube MP Studio V3 can also function as a direct box - impedance matching, amplifying and improving the sound of any instrument plugged into it. The design of the Tube MP Studio V3 allows it to add warmth and fatness to a signal while maintaining low-noise.

The Tube MP Studio V3 features all the tone and functionality of its predecessor, the Tube MP. Phase Reverse, +48v phantom power, clip LED and a +20dB switch are all included, as well as an analog VU meter for visual tracking of the signal.

Whether you're working with a computer, hard-disk, or digital multitrack recorder, the Tube MP Studio V3's design delivers professional recording studio results at a fraction of the cost of comparable equipment.

The Tube MP Studio V3 offers superior performance and sound quality to the "on-board" preamps found in today's low-cost mixers and multi-trackers. Professional quality sound combined with professional features - a hand-selected 12AX7a Tube, Phantom Power and Phase Reverse - are what make the Tube MP Studio V3 an outstanding microphone preamp.

I found the ART Tube MP Studio V3 to be a sweet-sounding little mic pre/DI box. While it might not be up there with some of the of some of the models that use high-voltage tube circuitry.

Most of all thanks to the Sweetwater staff. I always use Sweetwater. When I need something it is shipped usually that day and I can be working with it in no time.

More than I need

The preamp gives me more than enough gain, the only worry I have is that I won't be able to use the full dynamic range of my system. But so far the recordings have been full and take advantage of a... read more [+]ll the stages. Like a few features such as the voicing controls to round out the signal. I use it mostly for vocals, so it's neat to experiment with them. Only weak point is the OutPut Level Meter which doesn't register until you're cranking pretty high. Overall, I'm more than satisfied, and the support from Sweatwater is outstanding. close [-]
