ART Tube MP V3 Tube Microphone Pre-Amplifier with Variable Value Voicing

Product Information

It does add a subtle pleasant sonic aspect to the sound thanks to the magic of the tubes--this magic mostly consisting of a natural soft compression inherent to the design of the tube itself. I used it for recording and even during practice to alleviate the digital harshness of most of the equipment we get to use these days. Recommended for both its sonic properties and DI usefulness. Input: 1/4″ TRS unbalanced (1meg Ω), XLR female balanced. Output: 1/4″ TRS unbalanced (600 Ω), XLR male balanced (<300 Ω) However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. The Tube MP accomplishes this quite well when you balance the price point with the overall product. The Tube MP does indeed impart some warmth to the signal but in my opinion it's more noticeable quality is a small amount of extra "focus" to the sound. In my experience the Tube MP has really helped with tightening up the upper midrange and treble of the source, and is helpful with virtually any microphone for adding a bit of "life" to the sound. The sound is catastrophic, a grain of espce unpleasant o you feel that the sound is off, there are holes in the lower, like in low-mdiums, also a little in the treble. In short it is ugly. The gain is really low, there is a rhausseur ok but ds you push a little knobs, a breath ... I have not changed the lamp, because for a device like that the whole investment is useless I think

Used for 1.5 years it has chandeliers, I Taté quite then some more expensive model of another brand that are often disappointing. In the range above must know what one is looking ... some preamp sound card is disappointing to the mp tube seems cleaner and does not add a dubious color. It's good for started, I had the chance to connect over good micro (AT33, u87 ...) and I was not disappointed, even when the microphone was "too good" for this pre amp. Using a transformerless design throughout, the Tube MP maintains exceptional signal integrity and extremely low noise. With XLR and 1/4" inputs, a phase reverse switch, and a sturdy steel case, the Tube MP is a great choice for both studio and location work! ART Tube MP Preamplifier Features: In short, super convenient, easy to use, simple disassemble (to change the lamp according to el'utilisation we want to do). The ART Tube MP (Microphone PreAmplifier) is a high quality tube pre-amp for your microphone and instruments. Featuring a hybrid designed that allows you to obtain the warmth and ‘fatness’ you want want, while maintaining an ultra-low noise and high quality sound. Making it a powerhouse for your studio recordings and live performances. The Tube MP can also function as a direct box allowing you to match impeadances, amplify signal, and generally help to improve the sound of any connected instrument.Colored sounding but not in a bad way very decent and the tube is fine. Don't waste money switching it out. The sound is somewhat like a gritty tone that is not real high quality but in no way does it sound bad. It is like the blue tube or the old blue tube presounus tube amp pre amps that you could get for about 150.00. It does not generate breath and respects the sound of the instrument while "rounding" in-slightly-warming sound, in a good way. I think people who say it does not Pramp do not perhaps have sounded really used properly. Playing between the level and the level of output, we can get some pretty cool results. The ART Tube MP is great for the money if you know how to use it. If you don%27t it can mess up your sound. I have not tried the other more expensive models but I tend to think that the simple one is all you need and its wiser to save your money for a great preamp rather than spend few hundred for a fancier one of these. USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.

I found the ART Tube MP Studio V3 to be a versatile and sweet-sounding little mic preamp/DI box. While it might not have the finesse of some of the more up-market, elite models that use high-voltage tube circuitry, it is rather nicer than the preamps found in most small mixers, and tonally a lot more versatile. I'm not a big fan of presets, but these do the job well without detracting from the musicality of the sound, and there's enough choice to suit just about anything you might want to record.I have not tried many PRMPS before, but I have tried a lot since when same, and there is no comparison.

its own, the lamp does not hear and almost better because in this range made ... (Unless it is fun to saturate). So no coloration of sound in normal use. Note: The folks at Sweetwater are Legends with their customer service. One phone call and they took care of everything. Sweet :-) With very respectable capacitor mics coming right down in price, you can now get a sound at source that rivals that available from top‑end professional equipment. And with the addition of this very affordable tube preamp, you can go one step further and create your own valve mic sound, or plug in a regular DI box and 'tubify' it. Conclusion Overall the sound has a solid, comfortable feel to it, with plenty of detail but no rough edges. The frequency response is quoted as 10Hz-30kHz (±0.5dB), and the equivalent input noise is -129dBA on the mic input, which is comparable to what you'd expect from a well-designed mixer mic preamp. The dynamic range is typically 100dB and the output level on the XLR is a very healthy +28dBu, which should keep even the greediest soundcard input happy. Sound quality? Well transparent would be the last word I would use to describe the Tube MP, moderately colored would be my choice. However, don't take that wrongly, what we all want from a tube mic-pre is to beef up or in some other way improve our sound.

In common with a lot of budget valve equipment, the usual '250V DC plus' lethal high tension power supply has been replaced by a much lower voltage system, which does affect the valve's overload characteristics, as well as reducing the overall headroom, but if done properly, this approach can yield very pleasing results. In fact, the power comes from an external 9V AC supply, but I assume a voltage multiplier is being used somewhere, otherwise the maximum possible DC supply would be around 25 Volts, and the 48V phantom power switch on the front panel proclaims that this clearly isn't the case.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
