ART Pro MPA-II | Two Channel Mic Preamp
Brand New with Full Manufacturer's Warranty!

Summary
Professional Two Channel mic preamp w/ variable input impedance, selectable plate voltage, Stereo/Dual mono modes, Mid/Side micing support, +4/-10dB selectable output.

Description
The new ART ProMPA II is the next generation in affordable high performance microphone preamp technology. Each microphone input circuit, with selectable 48v phantom power, features variable input impedance which can radically vary the overall performance of any high quality dynamic or ribbon microphone. The ProMPA II can be configured for dual mono or stereo operation with selectable mid/side mic support, summing the adjacent channel, to decode left/right signals.

The ProMPA II can operate at either a low or high plate voltage on the two integrated hand-selected 12AX7 tubes for wider variation of preamp tone and performance. Large back-lit analog VU output meters display output levels while multi-colored LED arrays show tube gain.

Housed in a standard 2u space rack-mountable steel chassis, with CNC routed black anodized aluminum face panel, the ProMPA II is designed to deliver years of reliable operation in the studio, production facility, or on the road for live sound reinforcement.

Product Overview
The ART Pro MPA II is a dual-channel tube mic pre with a range of useful features for the home recordist or project studio on a budget. Continuously variable impedance and a whopping 70dB of gain on tap make the Pro MPA II a perfect pairing for all types of microphones, while an onboard mid-side matrix unlocks M/S stereo recording. Switch between normal and high plate voltages to change up the tone and suit whatever source you're recording, filter out any low end rumble with the sweepable high-pass filter, or plug your bass or keys straight into the direct input to give your instruments a life injection. This versatile, affordable preamp makes for an awesome upgrade to the built-in pres on your interface.
