ART Pro Audio - Tube MP Studio V3 Tube Microphone Preamp with Variable Valve Voicing

The Tube MP Studio V3™ features ART's new V3™ (Variable Valve Voicing™) Technology - found only in ART microphone preamplification systems.

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 veteran 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.

The Tube MP Studio V3™ also features 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.

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. While its primary application is to be used with a microphone, the Tube MP Studio V3 is an exceptional direct box - impedance matching, amplifying and improving the sound of any instrument plugged into it.
