ART Pro MPA II - Professional Two Channel Microphone Preamplifier

The Only Mic Preamp You Will Need!
The new ART ProMPA II is the next generation in affordable high performance microphone preamp technology. Each microphone input circuit, with selectable 48v phantom power, features variable input impedance which can radically vary the overall performance of any high quality dynamic or ribbon microphone. The ProMPA II can be configured for dual mono or stereo operation with selectable mid/side mic support, summing the adjacent channel, to decode left/right signals.

Integrated Tube Variation for Superior Sound
The ProMPA II can operate at either a low or high plate voltage on the two integrated hand-selected 12AX7 tubes for wider variation of preamp tone and performance. Large back-lit analog VU output meters display output levels while multi-colored LED arrays show tube gain.

Rugged Rack Mountable Chassis
Housed in a standard 2u space rack-mountable steel chassis, with CNC routed black anodized aluminum face panel, the ProMPA II is designed to deliver years of reliable operation in the studio, production facility, or on the road for live sound reinforcement.

ART (acronym: Applied Research & Technology) are renowned for producing devices that feature unique gadgets and functions that make you think "Why hasn't anyone thought of that before?"

I'd been looking for a decent tube mic pre for a while when i eventually came across the ART Pro MPA II. After reading dozens of preamp reviews it became obvious that the ART couldn't be ignored. I searched around the usual well known music stores but wasn't exactly thrilled with their pricing....& thats when i discovered SWAMP...never heard of them before..! Purchased the unit (at the best price i'd found) shipped & arrived promptly...& it is every bit as good as what people are saying. I really dont believe you'll find a better pre amp for the price..! Well done SWAMP. I'll be back again...
