The
Tube MP Studio V3 single channel mic pre 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 our 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. Need to tweak
the presets? Go right ahead -- hone your perfect tone! That's the power
of V3.
V3 also incorporates 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.
While it's primary application is to be used with
a microphone, the Tube MP Studio V3 can also function as a direct box
- impedance matching, amplifying and improving the sound of any
instrument plugged into it. The design of the Tube MP Studio V3 allows
it to add warmth and fatness to a signal while maintaining low-noise.
The
Tube MP Studio V3 features all the tone and functionality of its
predecessor, the world's number one Tube Mic Pre, the Tube MP. Phase
Reverse, +48v phantom power, clip LED and a +20dB switch are all
included, as well as an analog VU meter for visual tracking of the
signal.
Whether you're working with a computer, hard-disk, or
digital multitrack recorder, the Tube MP Studio V3s design delivers
professional recording studio results at a fraction of the cost of
comparable equipment.
The Tube MP Studio V3 offers superior
performance and sound quality to the "on-board" preamps found in
today's low-cost mixers and multi-trackers. Professional quality sound
combined with professional features - a hand-selected 12AX7a Tube,
Phantom Power and Phase Reverse - are what make the Tube MP Studio V3
an outstanding microphone preamp.
The Tube MP Studio V3 can
be used in a wide variety of applications including recording, project
and home studios, where its Variable Valve Voicing really shines. It
also functions as a direct box, with impedance matching and
preamplification for line-level sources.
