tube microphone preamp. Whether you’re
working with a four-track, hard-disk, or digital
multitrack recorder, the Tube MP’s TEC award
nominated design will allow you to obtain
professional recording studio results at a fraction of
the cost of comparable equipment. The hybrid
design of the Tube MP allows it to add warmth and
fatness to a signal while maintaining exceptionally
low-noise and high quality. While its primary

Tube MP is an exceptional direct box - impedance
matching, amplifying and improving the sound of any instrument plugged into it.
The usage of external mic/ line preamps has become increasingly popular over the past
several years. The Tube MP offers superior performance and sound quality to the “onboard” preamps found in today’s low-cost mixers and multi-trackers. It’s sound has been
consistently favored over other products costing upwards to ten-times its price. Professional
quality sound combined with professional features like: a 12AX7a Tube, phantom power
and Phase Reverse, are what have made the Tube MP a staple in thousands of studios
worldwide. For a minimal investment, a Tube MP can provide the single largest
improvement to the sound of your studio.
