The Tube MP/C (Preamplifier/Compressor) from ART is an ideal combination-recording tool, with a tube-based analog preamplifier and a VCA-less compressor with optical gain reduction, housed in a convenient desktop chassis. Used as a mic/line preamp or as a DI (direct) box, the Tube MP/C is designed to work seamlessly with any recording, sound-reinforcement, or electronic instrument setup.
ART's Tube MP/C circuitry is a hybrid design utilizing advanced, solid-state and tube technology. The preamplifier's active balanced solid state input provides extremely low noise and excellent common mode rejection. The 1/4 high impedance input prevents loading of any connected device making the Tube MP/C perfect for DI or line level applications.ART Tube MP/C Single Channel Microphone/Instrument Tube Preamp. The preamplifier's second stage 12AX7a tube runs on a regulated DC voltage providing an additional 20dB of gain. The compression circuit features a VCA-less design and utilizes optical electronics (Vactrol) coupled with a 12AX7a vacuum tube gain stage for superior musical performance.
