The
PRO MPA is one of the finest microphone preamplifiers available. Developed
in partnership with studio and live sound engineers, the PRO MPA possesses
"the sound". A member of the A R T Reference Series, the PRO MPA was designed
and constructed with the absolute best components, assuring a lifetime of
quiet, reliable performance. The PRO MPA (Microphone Pre Amplifier) is a multi-purpose
tool for audio engineering and recording. Enclosed in a 2U (3.5" high) rack-mountable
chassis are two independent cha nnels of analog microphone preamplifiers designed
to work seamlessly with any recording, sound-reinforcement, or electronic
instrument setup. A R Ts PRO MPA circuitry is a hybrid design utilizing the
latest and most advanced solid state and tube technology. Using a transformerless
design throughout, the PRO MPA maintains exceptional signal integrity and
extremely low noise. The Active balanced input utilizes a hybrid, triple-differential
transistor design, providing extremely low noise and excellent CMRR.
A second stage 12AX7A tube running on a regulated DC voltage provides an additional
40 dB of gain. The design causes the tube to overload before the input or
output stage. This allows the user to manipulate the tube gain to meet their
sonic requirements. The 1/4" input has a high impedance, which prevents the
loading of any device connected to it and makes the PRO MPA perfect for DI
or line level applications. Each channel of the PRO MPA features independent
input and output level controls and a variable high pass filter. Because of
the filter design, the high pass circuitry allows the user to gently remove
unwanted rumble and low frequency information without changing the overall
sonic character of the input signal. Additional features include: +20dB gain,
phantom power and phase reversal switches with LED indicators. Internal power
supply, balanced and unbalanced connections and a full five year warranty
round out an extremely attractive yet cost effective package.
