DPS II
D/IO TUBE PREAMPLIFIER SYSTEM 2
The DIO Tube Preamp System II updates the latest ART advances in Tube Microphone Preamps.
The DPS II adds continously variable input
impedance, LED input meters, auto mic/instrument switching, OPL flexability and more tube
warmth to the DPS.
Twin high performance discrete preamplifiers
with local feedback are coupled with our flexible
Variable Valve Voicing 12AX7A gain stage (which
delivers both flexibility and consistency in settings) and choice of analog and digital outputs.
The new enhanced mic pre-amp can accept
+20dB peaks while maintaining over 120dB
dynamic range and incredibly low distortion. A
LED input meter , monitors the signal level of the
input amplifier.
The auto-switching input allows the DPSII rear
inputs to stay patched in while you use the front
panel instrument inputs.
Enhancements to our legendary tube stage
maintain our classic "warm sound" and add
additional tube voicings specifically tailored to
vocal, guitar, bass, and acoustic instruments
making this an incredible DI box.
The enhanced Output Protection Limiting (OPL)
is available to control overshoots and normalize
levels before digital clipping occurs .
A versatile insert loop on each channel provides
access for additional signal processing or direct
access to our high quality A/D converter.
Separate gain controls on analog and digital outputs allow you to optimize the unit for simultaneous applications.
Digital outputs include S/PDIF, TOSLINK or
ADAT (front panel selectable). The A/D is front
panel adjustable from 44.1 to 96K or syncs to
ADA T or external word clock (32KHZ to 100KHz).
You can patch into any ADAT stream and select
which pair (or ALL) of channels the DIO Preamp
System transmits.
The DI/O Preamp System also features ART A to
D digital conversion and ART Tube Technology
similar to that of the ART DI/O. This ensures that
when you are going from the analog preamplification to digital, your signal will be as warm and
musical as you decide it to be. The DPS does
digital right!
The DIO Preamp System was conceived,
designed and manufactured to the highest standards to provide years of quiet, reliable performance.
