User manual ART MPAGOLD DATASHEET

[. . . ] MPAGold A professional tube microphone preamplifier is defined by warmth, presence and clarity ­ core elements which make a performance truly come alive. [. . . ] The tube circuit is differential, and provides the equivalent of a 300V power supply on the high voltage setting. Not to mention it has very low distortion and noise. Our normal setting maintains ART's classic tube sound (warm with smooth overload characteristics). The MPA Gold's unique tube circuitry utilizes two 12AX7A vacuum tubes and renders unsurpassed TM 2 CHANNEL MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER sonic detail and clarity with the broadest range of microphones. The 12AX7A tube preamplification section provides gain while maintaining the incredible dynamic range of the previous stage and controlled overload characteristics. Condenser microphones, ribbon microphones, dynamic microphones ­ new and vintage ­ all become more versatile and deliver their maximum performance when they interact with the MPA Gold's Variable Input Impedance. You'll discover that your microphones will sound better than ever. In addition to the VU meters, the MPA Gold has Tube Warmth LED Metering which measures the left and right audio channel levels.
