ART Tube MP Professional Mic Preamp/Processor

<p>The Tube MP is the world's most popular external tube microphone preamp. Whether you're working with a digital, computer, or analog recording system, the Tube MP's TEC award-nominated design will allow you to obtain professional recording studio results at a fraction of the cost of comparable equipment. The hybrid design of the Tube MP allows it to add warmth and fatness to a signal while maintaining exceptionally low-noise and high quality. While its primary application is to be used with a microphone, the Tube MP is an exceptional direct box, impedance matching, amplifying, and improving the sound of any instrument plugged into it. The usage of external mic/line preamps has become increasingly popular over the past several years. The Tube MP offers superior performance and sound quality to the onboard preamps found in today's low-cost mixers and multi-trackers. Its sound has been consistently favored over other products costing upwards to ten times its price. The professional-quality sound combined with professional features like a hand-selected 12AX7a tube, phantom power, and phase reverse is what has made the Tube MP a staple in thousands of studios worldwide. For a minimal investment, a Tube MP can provide the single largest improvement to the sound of your studio.</p>
