Mar 20, 2015 ART is a small company that makes tube audio technology for pretty awesome prices. Here I put their Tube MP Studio in front of a condenser mic and a few well known dynamic mics to see what a. Thank you for purchasing the Tube MP Studio V3™ - and congratulations: You now own one of the most versatile preamplifiers available. Offering a superb level of sound quality, the Tube MP Studio’s hybrid solid state and tube circuit design combined with a straightforward user interface quickly and easily gives you access to all of its features. INSTALLATION The Tube MP Studio V3™ may be used in a wide variety of applications and environments. Enclosure, the Tube MP Studio V3™ is designed for continuous professional use. Because the unit is compact and lightweight, mounting location is not critical.
Valve Preamp
A pint-sized preamp with anything but a pint-sized sound.
The ART Tube MP Studio V3 is a more sophisticated incarnation of previous, similarly styled ART valve preamps, and it has the same preset OPL (output protection limiter) settings and Variable Valve Voicing tonal enhancements used in ART's DPS II. Hybrid tube/solid-state circuitry is used, the dual-triode 12AX7 tube being run from a relatively low voltage. Mains power comes via an AC adaptor.
This preamp can accept mic-level signals, line signals, or high-impedance instrument signals on balanced XLRs or unbalanced jacks, while the output is available both on a balanced XLR and an unbalanced jack. A balanced output jack would have made more sense for connection to typical home-studio equipment. Up to 70dB of mic gain is available, and there's a clear, illuminated moving-coil VU meter to read the output level. Separate gain controls are fitted for the input and output, and there's a switchable 20dB gain boost, 48V phantom power, and phase reverse. A multi-colour LED shows that the unit is powered, as well as indicating clipping/limiting.
Preset Voicings
The rotary control to the right of the meter is what makes this unit a bit different. Here you'll find 15 different switchable voicings (plus a neutral position), each using varying degrees of tube warmth, limiting, and subtle EQ. The presets are: Neutral, Vocal, Guitar, Bass, E-Keyboard, E-Guitar, Vocal (warmth), Valve, Multi, Vocal (warmth and OPL), Acoustic Guitar (warmth and OPL), Piano, Bass, Acoustic Guitar (OPL), Percussion, and Limit. When the signal level is high enough to approach clipping, the green power LED turns red, though this also signifies that the limiter is operating when OPL is activated.
Other than selecting presets, the unit operates like any other mic/line preamp. All you need to do is decide whether or not you need the gain boost switch (which you can think of as being a pad in reverse), then set the input gain and the output level with the Clip/Limit LED and meter to help you along. Selecting a preset introduces a noticeable but still quite subtle tonal change (more noticeable on some of the electric-instrument settings) and most have been well chosen to suit their respective sources. However, with any unit of this type, it pays to try all the presets regardless of what sound you're working with, as you might find, for example, that the electric-guitar setting works well on a hip-hop vocal. You should also keep in mind that the output limiter is there primarily as a safety feature, though you can create more aggressive tonal effects by hitting it harder.
Overall the sound has a solid, comfortable feel to it, with plenty of detail but no rough edges. The frequency response is quoted as 10Hz-30kHz (±0.5dB), and the equivalent input noise is -129dBA on the mic input, which is comparable to what you'd expect from a well-designed mixer mic preamp. The dynamic range is typically 100dB and the output level on the XLR is a very healthy +28dBu, which should keep even the greediest soundcard input happy.
I liked the confident sound of this little preamp, and the presets really do offer a useful choice of characters without getting silly. It's almost like having several different mics to choose from. The metering is better than most small preamps of this type offer, and both the gain and level controls are nicely progressive over their entire range.

Verdict
I found the ART Tube MP Studio V3 to be a versatile and sweet-sounding little mic preamp/DI box. While it might not have the finesse of some of the more up-market, elite models that use high-voltage tube circuitry, it is rather nicer than the preamps found in most small mixers, and tonally a lot more versatile. I'm not a big fan of presets, but these do the job well without detracting from the musicality of the sound, and there's enough choice to suit just about anything you might want to record.
Low-voltage tube circuits like this don't offer the same flavour of warmth as high-voltage designs, but the results here are still very musical and don't tend to go muddy as some low-voltage designs do. I think the Tube MP Studio V3 would make a great companion for a digital desktop studio, where its high output drive capability and tonal versatility should help the user inject a little welcome character into the recorded sound.
Pros
- Easy to operate.
- Well-designed presets.
- Good overall sound.
Summary
The Tube MP Studio V3 is a good solution for anyone who simply needs mic preamp and DI facilities, but who also likes the idea of having different sonic characters available.

CONNECTIONS
It’s easy to interface theTUBE MP with other equipment. All connections are made at the back of theTUBE MP. Standard XLR and 1/4' inputs and outputs make patching simple. Note: For best audio quality, always use high-quality cables.
Inputs
The TUBE MP provides both an XLR and 1/4”input jack. Use the balanced XLR input for use with a microphone. Audio input as well as phantom power (if needed switchable on and off) is supplied through this jack. Use the unbalanced l/4” input jack for instrument applications.
XLR pin configuration: pin 1 = gnd pin 2 = Positive (hot), pin 3 = negative.
Do not Use both inputs at the same time.
Outputs
The XLR output of theTUBE MP is active balanced You may “se it in an unbalanced configuration without harm to the output circuitry. Use the unbalanced 1/4” jack for sending your signal to amps, processors or other unbalanced configurations. Also, both outputs may be used at the same time.
Power
Insert the supplied 9 Volt AC adapter’s plug into the input labeled Pwr, 9VAC on theTUBE MP’s back panel.
The TUBE MP is powered by an external 9VAC adapter. Always make sure the output plug is securely plugged into the rear of the TUBE MP, and that the adapter is held firmly in an electrical outlet. Never operate the TUBE MP or AC adapter in the rain or in wet locations. lf the AC adapter’s cord is ever cut, discontinue use and replace the adapter with a new one. Unplug the adapter when the TUBE MP is not in use. Refer to the label on the adapter or the specifications later in this manual for the appropriate operating voltages.

Controls, Switches and Indicators:
Input Control
The input control sets the amount of input Gain of theTUBE MP Turn the control clockwise to increase gain and counterclockwise to decrease gain. You may control two ranges of gain with this control, +26 to +6OdB and +6 to +4OdB. Selection of the gain range is made with the +20dB Gain Switch.
+2OdB Gain/Norm Switch
Use the +2OdB Gain/Norm switch to set the gain range of the Input control. When the witch is out, theTUBE MP operates in Normal mode Depressing the switch adds 20dB of gain. This mode is indicated by the labeling in red and corresponds directly to the Input control’s red gain range labeling For microphone applica-tions, where more level is needed, push the witch in.
P-Pwr +48V/Out Switch
Use theTUBE MP’s phantom power to supply power to all microphones requiring +48V phantom power.
The TUBE MP's Phantom power is engaged and disengaged with this witch Phantom power is applied to pins 2 and 3 of the XLR Input jack when this switch is pushed in. To disengage phantom power, position the switch in the out position.
Power Phase Reverse/Norm Switch
Phase Reverse/Norm Switch
To set the phase of the TUBE MP’s output signal, “se this switch. When the switch is in the Out position the output signal is normal. Depressing the switch reverses the phase of the output signal.
In multi-microphone applications, mic placement can affect the phase of the signals If your sound is “thin” or 'out of position,” reverse the phase to correct the problem.
Output Control
The output control sets the output level of the TUBE MP. When the control is fully counterclockwise the output level of the TUBE MP is zero. Turning the control clockwise increases the level of the
4
output to a maximum of +10dB of gain. This gain is in addition to the existing input gain.
Power/Peak L.E.D.
When power is applied to the TUBE MP the Power/Peak L.E.D. lights green. This L.E.D. also serves as the signal clip indicator. If too much signal is present this L.E.D. lights red. If the L.E.D. is constantly lit, reduce the signal level with the Input Control. The clip L.E.D. is positioned at the tube's output in the circuitry and lights when a level 6dB below hard clipping dB is reached.
Product Description
A RT’s TUBE MP circuitry is a hybrid design utilizing the latest and best solid state and tube technology, Using a transformerless design throughout the TU BE MP maintains cxccptional signal mtegrity and extremely low noise.
