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\n\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\n\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\n\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\n\u003chr noshade\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 130%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube-based mic\/line preamplifier with up to 80 dB of gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical (VCA-less) compressor circuitry = transparent dynamics control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR balanced inputs and outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable output range for Line\/Instrument interface levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+48V phantom power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable release time settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom extruded aluminum chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-selected 12AX7a tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch unbalanced inputs and outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformer isolated XLR output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED meters for Tube Warmth, Gain Reduction and Output level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhase reversal switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026gt; 90dB dynamic range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr noshade\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 130%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 30 Hz – 60 kHz +\/- 1 dB balanced output, 20 Hz – 60 kHz +\/- 1dB 1\/4″ output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion: \u0026lt;0.1% @ max gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCMMR: \u0026gt; 60 dB @ max gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent Input Noise: -128dBu typical (“A” wtd., Shorted XLR balanced input, gain @ max)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Impedance: 1M Ω 1\/4″ input, 5K Ω XLR input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput\/Output Connections: Input: XLR balanced or 1\/4″ balanced.
