## Overview

The ART Tube MP V3 is a USA-made tube microphone pre-amplifier featuring variable gain, phase reverse switching, and patented V3 Variable Valve Voicing technology. Designed for professional and home studios, it enhances audio warmth and clarity while protecting your gear with Output Protection Limiting. Versatile for microphones and instruments alike, it offers a cost-effective upgrade over standard onboard preamps.

## 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.

Review: The product is fantastic - Best pre amp so far for me. But if you life in the UAE. It came with the WRONG POWER SUPPLY. I connected without noticing and almost I almost burn my whole set up. Now I need to buy a new power supply. Good thing the pre amp still working properly.
Review: Get this product instead of spending money on getting a new interface or a new microphone , this costs less than the price of a new good interface or microphone and it greatly improves your recordings. Just keep in mind there’s some white noise when using it , so just use a noise gate.

## 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.

Kleiner handlicher Vorverstärker. Ich benutze ihn live auf der Bühne, um einer (billigen) E-Mandoline mit einem sehr leisen Tonabnehmer mehr "Wumms" im Klangbild der Band zu geben. Funktioniert prima, und die Klangregulierung verleiht dem etwas blechernen Klang des Instruments deutlich mehr Wärme.
