ART Solo MPA Multivoice Tube Microphone Preamplifier

Multivoice Tube Preamp

"Its well-curated selection of creative tone-shaping options includes features rarely found in mic-pre-equipped interfaces or many stand-alone preamps, budget or otherwise." - Recording

The ART Solo Series is a range of highly affordable, all-analog, single-channel processors. They offer flexible tone shaping with intuitive controls and the unmistakable sound of real tubes.

The Solo MPA is a multivoice mic preamp that offers both a clean solid-state and warm tube signal path. The Voice knob lets you combine the two for the perfect blend of clarity and character.

Balance lows and highs with the Tilt EQ, and use the sweepable Low Cut filter to eliminate rumble and tighten bass. The variable microphone impedance lets you tailor the preamp response to your mic for additional tonal options.

It also features a 20 dB boost, phase reversal, and phantom power, with controls for input and output gain and a VU meter for visibility. The rear panel has XLR and 1/4" connections, and the front panel has a 1/4" High Z input so you can use the Solo MPA as an instrument DI.

Expand your recording setup with a versatile character preamp that offers the best of both worlds: clean, saturated, and everything in between.
