INTRODUCTION
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.
The original ART Tube MP put professional-caliber tube preamplification
into the hands of thousands of musicians and recordists that wanted great
tube tone in a compact and flexible package.
The Tube MP Studio V3™ extends the range of applications by adding V3™
(Variable Valve Voicing) technology with an output protection limiter
(OPL™) to precisely control output peaks, and analog VU metering to aid in
setting and maintaining proper signal levels.
The Tube MP Studio V3™ can be used in a wide variety of applications
including recording, project and home studios, where its metering
functionality and OPL™ circuitry really shines. It also functions as a direct
box, with impedance matching and preamplification for instrument or line-
level sources.
