ART Tube MP Microphone Preamp Model 127
Want to know why the Tube MP is the world's most popular external tube microphone preamp? Maybe because it costs only a fraction of what you'd spend on comparable equipment, making it a great first mic preamp for a home studio. But wait, did we say 'home' studio? A quick browse through user reviews at Harmony Central shows one studio owner saying, "I use it EXCLUSIVELY for my acoustic clients they love the sound....I own SEVEN!" So obviously, home studios aren't the only reason the Tube MP is #1. More than that, the Tube MP isn't just a mic preampΦmusicians and engineers are using this versatile little box for all sorts of applications. But more on that in a minute. Let's get into what the ART Tube MP is all about. First, a little refresher: A mic pre is an amplifier which boosts the low signal level of a microphone up to a line level signal. On a mixer, each input channel which accepts mic-level inputs will usually have a mic preamp onboard. But unless you spent a whole lot on your mixer, those preamps probably aren't that great. And if you are recording with a computer soundcard you may not have a preamp at all. Not to worryΦthe Tube MP employs a TEC-award-nominated design that gives you the sound of the $1,000+ tube mic pres you'll find in professional recording studios. 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. Its sound has been consistently favored over other products costing upwards of ten times its price! With great sound and pro features like a 12AX7a Tube, phantom power and Phase Reverse, it's no wonder that you'll find this ART preamp in thousands of studios worldwide. But while it's designed primarily to be used with a microphone, that's not all you can do with it. The Tube MP is an exceptional direct boxΦimpedance matching, amplifying, and improving the sound of any instrument plugged into it. Check some more Harmony Central user comments on this little box. Frankly, we're amazed at all the uses people are finding for the Tube MP: "The tone it gave my bass going direct into my board suprised the hell out of me. It gave my dull sounding bass (because of old strings) a very rich fat sound that was just marvelous." "I plug it into a VERY CHEAP (I mean price AND sound) amp. And with Tube MP this hopelessly dead and cold amp sounds VERY sweet. My fav sound is clean/very slightly overdriven. But you can also get wonderful rich 6's blues overdrive." So take it from us and lots of satisfied customers. It's true when the folks at ART claim that, "For a minimal investment, a Tube MP can provide the single largest improvement to the sound of your studio."
