It may look small, but the ART TUBEMP/C valve preamp is able to add a fat boost of up to 80dBs to your signal. At the heart of this magic little box lies a hand-selected 12AX7a valve that injects the sound with characteristic warmth while a built-in compressor ensures the best possible signal. Since the TUBEMP/C is so small, it's the perfect home-studio microphone and line preamp.
The ART TUBEMP/C: How it Works
The TUBEMP/C comes equipped with various control buttons and LED indicators that offers a clear overview of the settings, levels and active functions like the Tube Drive, Gain Reduction, and the Output Level. A gain pad and standard gain as well as a low-cut filter have also been provided, and once the internal valve has been switched on, you're handed control over the speed, slope, and opto compression, and the threshold is dialled in using a variable rotary knob. The output can also be put out of phase as needed, and for that finishing touch, the volume of the treated signal can be tweaked as needed.
