The
Tube PAC from ART is a combination of the world’s most popular tube mic/line
preamplifier and optical tube compressor. ART engineers took the Tube MP and
Tube Compressor and combined them into a single convenient aircraft-quality,
extruded aluminum chassis. This new table-top design allows for easy placement
in the studio or on the stage with immediate access to all the controls, features,
and metering. In addition to being a tremendous vocal and instrument preamplifier
and compressor package, this may well be the ultimate in tube direct boxes!
The mic/line
preamplifier stage is that of the TEC nominated Tube MP–a time (and studio)
proven design. It provides over 70dB of gain, +48v phantom power, phase reversal,
and is capable of warming up any instrument or microphone. LED level indicators
are provided to monitor the output of a 12AX7a tube for harmonic content.
The input level controls allows you to dial in the desired amount of tube
warmth and then independently set the output level from the compressor circuitry.
The tube compressor is a VCA-less, optical design–similar to that of
the “classic” tube compressors. Its ultra-musical sound is ideal
for voice and instrument applications. Threshold, compression/limiting ratios,
adjustable release times, bypass, gain reduction metering, and output gain
controls are provided.
The Tube
PAC is another impressive package from the world-wide leaders in tube dynamics
signal-processing gear. Pick one up and catch your own tube-buzz at your favorite
ART dealer today.
