{"product_id":"art-tubemp-c","title":"ART TUBEMP\/C","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tube MP\/C (PreAmplifier\/Compressor) is a multi-purpose tool for audio engineering and recording. Two independent circuits featuring a tube-based analog preamplifier and a VCA-less compressor with optical gain reduction control are housed in one, convenient desk-top chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsed 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. A R T’s Tube MP\/C circuitry is a hybrid design utilizing the latest, most advanced, solid-state and tube technology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe preamplifier’s active balanced solid-state input provides extremely low noise and excellent common mode rejection. The ¼-inch high impedance input prevents loading of any connected device making the Tube MP\/C perfect for DI or line level applications. The preamplifier’s second stage 12AX7a tube runs on a regulated DC voltage providing an additional 20dB of gain.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe compression circuit features a VCA-less design and utilizes optical electronics (Vactrol) coupled with a 12AX7a vacuum tube gain stage for superior musical performance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOptional ART SM1 stand mount securely attaches the Tube MP\/C to any microphone stand for live stage or studio applications is available.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTube-based mic\/line preamplifier with up to 80 dB of gain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHand-selected 12AX7a tube\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOptical (VCA-less) compressor circuitry = transparent dynamics control\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eXLR balanced inputs and outputs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSelectable output range for Line\/Instrument interface levels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e+48V phantom powerSelectable release time settings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSelectable release time settings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCustom extruded aluminum chassis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch unbalanced inputs and outputs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTransformer isolated XLR output\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLED meters for Tube Warmth, Gain Reduction and Output level\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhase reversal switch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u0026gt; 90dB dynamic range\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ART","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35115182063770,"sku":"TUBEMP\/C","price":139.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0422\/1291\/7402\/products\/preamps-processors-tubempc-rear_1__10636.jpg?v=1602003071","url":"https:\/\/www.305broadcast.com\/products\/art-tubemp-c","provider":"305broadcast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
