The DPS II updates the latest ART advances in Tube Microphone Preamps in a package that just about any budget can afford.
[b]Two Channels of Tube[/b]
The DPS II adds continuously variable input impedance, LED input meters, auto mic/instrument switching, OPL (Output Protection Limiting) flexibility and more tube warmth to the DPS II. Two discrete preamplifiers with local feedback are coupled with ART’s flexible V3 (Variable Valve Voicing) 12AX7A gain stage (which delivers both flexibility and consistency in settings) and choice of analog and digital outputs.
[b]The Ins & Outs[/b]
The auto-switching input is extremely innovative and allows the DPS II rear inputs to stay patched in while you use the front panel instrument inputs – very handy indeed. Digital outputs include S/PDIF, TOSLINK or ADAT (front panel selectable). The A/D is front panel adjustable from 44.1 to 96K or syncs to ADAT or external word clock (32KHZ to 100KHz). You can patch into any ADAT stream and select which pair (or all) of channels the DPS II transmits. Plus, separate gain controls on analog and digital outputs allow you to optimize the unit for simultaneous applications.
