Tube MP Studio V3 by ART

The Tube MP Studio V3 by ART features the innovative V3 (Variable Valve Voicing) Technology, exclusive to ART microphone preamplification systems. This technology provides optimized reference points for the recording process, with presets designed by industry professionals for various instruments such as guitars, keyboards, bass guitars, drums, and vocals. The V3 presets ensure professional sound quality for all recordings.

Additionally, the Tube MP Studio V3 incorporates ART's OPL (Output Protection Limiter) technology, which accurately controls and maintains the output peak signal, protecting the next component in the signal chain from clipping and overloads. This makes it suitable for use with computers, hard-disk recorders, or digital multitrack recorders, delivering professional studio results at a fraction of the cost of comparable equipment.

The preamp offers over 70dB of gain, a smooth, warm, and fat sound quality, variable input and output gain controls, XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs, +48 volts phantom power, and a phase reversal switch. It is designed for superior preamplification for microphones, instruments, and line-level sources, and is also suitable as a tube DI.

The technical specifications of the Tube MP Studio V3 include a dynamic range of over 100dB (20Hz to 20kHz), frequency response of 10Hz to 20kHz (+0, -1dB), THD of less than 0.1% (typical), CMMR of over 75dB (typical at 1kHz), EIN of -129dBu ('A' weighted XLR to XLR), maximum gain of 70dB (XLR to XLR typical), and maximum input and output levels for both XLR and 1/4" connections. The unit has various input and output impedance values and requires 9 VAC @ 700ma (typ) power.

The Tube MP Studio V3 is suitable for professional, project, and home recording, live sound systems/PA, DJ sound systems, and monitor systems, among other applications. It is designed for years of continuous, reliable performance and features rugged all-steel construction.

The preamp's primary function is as a microphone preamp with +48V phantom power, variable gain, and phase reverse switching, and it also serves as a versatile tube-driven direct box for any instrument source.
