## Overview

The ART Tube MP V3 is a premium tube microphone pre-amplifier featuring a hand-selected 12AX7A tube that provides up to 70dB of gain. Its innovative V3 Variable Valve Voicing technology offers multiple tone presets designed by industry pros, allowing instant customization for microphones, instruments, and line-level sources. Equipped with phantom power and Output Protection Limiting (OPL), it ensures a clean, warm, and distortion-free signal path, making it an essential tool for professional-quality recording and live sound applications.

## Description

Product Description The Tube MP Studio V3 delivers warmth and fatness to any audio source while maintaining an exceptionally low-noise signal path. While its primary function is as a microphone Pre-Amplifier with +48V phantom power, variable gain and phase reverse switching, the Tube MP is also an exceptionally versatile tube driven direct box for any instrument source. The Tube MP Studio V3 uses ART's proven V3 (Variable Valve Voicing) Technology to instantly contour the tone to any source. V3 presets were created and fine-tuned by some of the industry's top studio and live-sound engineers and allow instant access to a multitude of Pre-Amplifier settings designed for guitars (electric and acoustic), keyboards, bass guitars, drums, vocals and more. Additionally, the Tube MP Studio V3 employs OPL (Output Protection Limiting) technology to protect the next component in your signal path from clipping and overloads. The Tube MP Studio V3 offers exceptional sound quality and superior performance to that typically found in "on-board" preamps found in today's low-cost mixers, multi-track recorders and audio cards making it an ideal tone-shaping tool for any application.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this preamp be used safely with a passive ribbon microphone?**
A: It should work fine as long as you leave the 48V Phantom off.  If you forget, and send phantom power to your ribbon it will never work again.  My Tascam Port-a-Studio always defaults to "phantom off" when powered down (or up) and requires 2 keystrokes to turn it on "are you SURE?"  This precaution prevents sending phantom to any input other than a condenser mic, which only works with 48V DC.

**Q: Does this device provide a both left and right output for headphones (mono, but to both sides of the head phone)?  thanks**
A: There is no headphone output on this unit.
This is a preamp. It is used before the input on a mixer channel.

**Q: I'm looking for a way to boost the sound volume and quality coming from a blue spark mic for voice-over work. is this what i need?**
A: I'm assuming you have the regular Spark, not the digital (USB) version.  I have not used the ART for that application, but I find the unit to be a versatile free-standing single channel pre-amp.  It's controls allow setting of gain and output, and it will supply phantom power to the mic.  Very good bang for the buck, and highly portable.

**Q: I want to use this with a ribbon mic sans phantom. Aim is natural sound of my acoustic instrument. How transparent is the neutral setting?**
A: A ribbon mic not only does not need phantom power. accidentally switching phantom on may destroy the mic.  I like ribbons also.  The ART is a great bargain and sounds good generally, but it is not a professional unit, and you get what you pay for.  I bought mine because I wanted a "tube flavor" on some tracks.  It does not excel at this.  But it is a useful unit in other ways, so I kept mine.  It is pretty neutral for a tube device, maybe a tad noisier because of the valves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars

Absolutely astounding difference in warmth if you are recording vocals. Use this as a DI.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Functional pe-amp for a small project studio.
*by A***R on 7 May 2016*

This is a well made and good looking little box. The pros are it adds a nice warmth to the vocal sound and is very easy to use. My acoustic guitar (Fender CD140) sounds great through it, but in fairness it already has a Fishman preamp built in to the guitar, but none the less the ART works nicely as a DI box in that sense and adds a very nice warmth to the sound due to the valve. For me the cons are that for the microphone I'm using (a Rode M3) you have to have the input and output pretty much up to full with the power boost & phantom power switches on to get a boost. I would have expected a lot more head room personally. Also there's no on/ off switch, so you have to either take the power plug out or switch it off at the wall. As this has a small valve in it I would have expected a stand-by switch on it to encourage longer life from the valve. I've never owned a preamp before so can't comment how this stands up in a bench test to other models, but I'm guessing that for the price this is a pretty decent bit of kit. If you're looking for a Pro piece of kit, then you're going to need to pay a lot more for better quality, but if you're looking for a cheap solution for a small project studio, then this is fine. I wouldn't pay any more than £60 or £70 for it though.
