The Tube MP Studio V3 features ART's new V3 (Variable Valve Voicing) Technology - found only in ART microphone preamplification systems.
V3 provides optimized reference points to begin the recording process. The V3 presets were created and fine-tuned by some of the industry's top studio and live-sound engineers, along with ART's veteran engineering department. V3 allows you to select between a multitude of preamp settings designed for guitars (electric and acoustic), keyboards, bass guitars, drums, vocals and more. V3 gives you incredible presets for every instrument you record, so all your recordings will sound professional.
The Tube MP Studio V3 also features ART's OPL Output Protection Limiter, which precisely and accurately controls and maintains the output peak signal. The OPL circuitry is crucial in protecting the next link in a signal chain - such as a hard-disk recording system or a sound card.
Whether you're working with a computer, hard-disk, or digital multitrack recorder, the Tube MP Studio V3's design delivers professional recording studio results at a fraction of the cost of comparable equipment. While its primary application is to be used with a microphone, the Tube MP Studio V3 is an exceptional direct box - impedance matching, amplifying and improving the sound of any instrument plugged into it.
