Description
If your recordings sound thin or harsh coming straight out of a mixer’s built-in preamps, the ART Tube MP is a simple, affordable fix. It sits between your mic (or instrument, or line-level source) and your recording setup, running the signal through a hand-selected 12AX7a tube to add warmth and fullness without piling on noise. This particular unit is a demo model, so you get the same circuit and sound at a reduced price.
- Hand-selected 12AX7a tube delivers up to 70dB of gain with a smooth, fat tonal character
- Separate variable input and output gain controls for dialing in exactly the right level and drive
- Doubles as a tube-driven DI box, great for reamping or tracking instruments direct
- Both XLR and 1/4″ inputs and outputs for flexible routing into any setup
- Switchable +48V phantom power for condenser mics
- Phase reversal switch to fix polarity issues when layering mics
- All-steel chassis built for durability in a home studio or on the road
- 1 year warranty
This is the preamp that got a lot of home studios out of the “on-board preamp” rut. It’s not trying to be a boutique, four-figure channel strip – it’s trying to give you a noticeably better, warmer starting point for vocals, guitars, bass, and anything else you plug into it, without draining your gear budget. Whether you’re recording into a DAW, a standalone recorder, or an analog console, the Tube MP earns its keep as a first upgrade.
