ART ProMPA II 2-Channel Microphone Preamplifier

ART ProMPA II

 is a value-packed 2-channel microphone preamplifier that delivers a total of 70dB of gain, and able to operate in stereo or dual-mono mode. Perfect for any sized studio, production facility, or live sound environment, the preamp offers variable input impedance, and a dual-tube gain stage with selectable plate voltages (high or normal).

Not only do the unit can process a mid/side microphone set-up but can function as a dual-channel DI box using the 2 front panel instrument inputs. Two backlit VU meters display output level, while multi-colored LED arrays provide a visual reference of tube gain for each channel. The ProMPA II is rack mountable and housed in a sturdy, 2U steel chassis.

For flexible flavor, ART Pro MPA-II features variable input impedance, so you can dial in a range of tube tones to suit your microphones. Moreover, dual-mono and stereo support, and a mid/side miking switch give you the flexibility you need to tackle a wide range of projects and recording setups with the ART Pro MPA-II.

Two channels of flexible tube preamplification

AIf you're looking to bring your recordings up to the level, there's nothing like introducing a quality preamplifier. And, with ART's Pro MPA-II, you'll have more than enough sonic range to dial in nearly any sound imaginable - no matter what kind of microphones you have in your mic locker right now, or the microphones you add to it in the future. That's because, on each channel you have selectable phantom power for your condensers. Plus, there's plenty of gain onboard for bringing your ribbon microphone signals up into usable levels. Beyond that, variable input impedance lets you draw out a rich range of tones from each of your microphones - use it to match the preamplifier to your microphones, or creatively mismatch tones for a unique sound. Plus, you can operate the ART Pro MPA-II at high or normal plate voltage, for an even wider range of sounds. There's also a per-channel low-cut filter to squelch issues with rumble.

Large VU meters and multi-colored LEDs display levels

Get an eye on what's going on using the ART Pro MPA-II's full assortment of metering. Onboard, two professional VU meters display input or output levels, while its multi-colored LED arrays, with average or peak hold, show you tube gain.

Supports dual-mono and stereo operation, as well as mid/side miking

Your preamplification needs will vary depending on what you want to do and what you're recording - but, luckily, ART equipped the Pro MPA-II with the flexibility to meet your changing needs. You can operate the preamplifier in dual-mono or stereo, to suit what you're recording. There's even selectable support for mid/side microphone setups.
