ART Solo MPA Single-Channel Multi-Voice Tube Preamp - Secondhand

Full Description

Tube warmth or solid clarity

Choose your audio path with the ART Solo MPA’s Multi-Voice feature. This function allows you to toggle between a pristine solid-state path for clear, uncolored sound, or engage the hand-selected 12AT7 vacuum tube for richer, warmer tones. This flexibility is perfect for both subtle enhancement and significant adjustments to your sound profile.

Dynamic control with parallel compression

The Solo MPA enhances recordings by offering parallel compression. This feature enables you to mix a compressed signal with the original dry signal, maintaining natural dynamics while adding density and sustain. Ideal for both subtle thickening and more pronounced effects, this tool greatly increases the versatility of your audio processing capabilities.

Precision monitoring with VU meters

Stay informed with accurate and immediate visual feedback through the ART Solo MPA’s analog VU meters. These meters can be switched to display either output level or gain reduction, assisting in making precise adjustments during recording sessions. This comprehensive metering aids in maintaining optimal levels for any recording or mixing situation.

Transparent soft-knee compression

The Solo MPA’s soft-knee leveling amplifier is engineered for applications requiring subtle, musical dynamic control. It excels in transparent operation, avoiding harsh compression artifacts while still providing the necessary dynamic reduction or enhancement for your tracks. Whether you’re smoothing out vocals or balancing dynamic instruments, this feature ensures top-tier audio fidelity.
