Details
The 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.
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.
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.
The PRO MPA II’s impressive feature set includes:
- Variable input impedance for flexible microphone voicing (150 Ohms to 2400 Ohms).
- Selectable plate voltage
- Large VU meters
- Front accessible meter trim
- Discrete class A input microphone preamplifier
- Low noise at low gains
- Low THD
- Wide frequency response
- Front accessible Instrument Input Jack
- Very high input impedance
- Mid/Side micing support
- +4dBm/-10dBV output level selection
- Switch selectable Stereo/Dual operation of the output controls
- Automatically switches to the instrument input when you plug in
