Product Description
The original Tube MP made pro-caliber tube preamping available to ordinary musicians and home studios. The MP Studio goes a step further by adding a VU meter for better level control and ART's OPL (Output Protection Limiter), which controls and maintains the output peak signal to protect hard-disk recording systems and soundcards. The VU meter reflects the impact of the OPL circuitry when it is activated, which allows more effective fine tuning of the audio signal. It is a valuable tool for recording in project and home studios and can also function as a DI box with impedance matching and preamplification for line-level sources. Includes a 3-year warranty.

| 39 of 41 people found the following review helpful  Good budget preamp, very quiet, just replace the tube!, By Abramelin (Providence, RI) - See all my reviews This review is from: ART Tube MP Studio Mic Preamp (Electronics) + REVIEW +This is really an excellent little preamp for the money. It's quiet as a mouse, built like a sherman tank, and has some nice little features like an output limiter, phase reverse, a -20db pad, and of course, 48V phantom power for your condenser mic. Great for boosting a quiet source like an electric guitar or a condenser mic, but don't expect it to give you crazy tube warmth like you'd find on higher end units. It's more like a DI box with just the slightest bit of tube character. I've used this thing for vocals and guitar mostly, and in both cases it provides super silent amplification of my signal. My only complaint is that it doesn't push the signal quite as hard as I'd like to get a good level going into my DAW (Garageband or Logic 8). + COMPARE TO: Presonus TubePre + PreSonus Tubepre...

This seemed like I couldn't go wrong so I bought it.So far I'm impressed with the sound quality, features, build, and value of this low end tube preamp. First, it has both 1/4" and XLR inputs and outputs, with no switches needed (both work all the time). The VU meter is backlit and features an overdrive LED as well as a limiter circuit as well as input gain and output level controls. This unit has performed well so far - I ran it constantly for the first 48 hours to weed out any early problems and none appeared. The box gets a little warm in constant usage, but not objectionably so. Some is from the meter light and some from the tube heater. If I ran into the need to go from mic --> line level again I'd buy this amp again. It's nice to be surprised with the quality and features instead of disappointed with snap together plastic stuff that eats 9V batteries every... Read more 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful Indispensable basic pre-amp/DI box, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: ART Tube MP Studio Mic Preamp (Electronics) For smoothing the rawness and thickening the sound ofan inexpensive condenser mic, this box is just the thing. Microphone settings usually are best somewhere generally around "straight-up", with some variations. Use restraint when using with Mics! ***With Microphones, I would strongly urge you use ONLY the XLR inputs, for lowest noise level.*** However, the VU meter doesn't seem to register much when using the XLRs (unless you overdrive/distort it excessively). I would go so far as to say, don't even worry about the Art VUs when using the XLR ins & outs. The VU meter seems to be more for line-level applications like electric guitar/bass, which sound just fine thru the 1/4" line inputs and outputs. Compare vocal track recordings both WITH and WITHOUT the preamp in use, to get a feel for the subtle, enrichening magic it does. It is even better with guitar or bass,... Read more |
