Page 4: Introduction
USB or S/PDIF. This hybrid design is the latest in a long line of ART tube preamps. We took our legendary Tube MP series and updated every aspect of the design, inside and out, while still maintaining a compact, reliable, and cost effective product. - Page 5 Key Features Include: • Two channel Tube based Mic/Instrument preamp computer interface • Extremely low noise discrete front end with variable input and output controls • Advanced optical output compressor to simplify recording and prevent overload • USB connectivity to desktop and laptop computers •...

Page 6: Front Panel
Front Panel LEFT GAIN and RIGHT GAIN knobs These knobs adjust the input preamp gain for their respective channels. Use these controls to match the input signal to the levels re- quired by the A/D and the outputs. Increasing the LEFT or RIGHT GAIN will do a number of things. First, it will drive the tube more and create more tube warmth. Second, it will optimize the discrete front end of the mic preamp for best noise performance. -
Page 7: Signal/Clip Leds
SIGNAL/CLIP LEDs These LEDs provide a means of measuring the output signal levels required for the A/D converters and to prevent clipping. The LEDs monitor both the signal present at the preamp (pre LEFT or RIGHT LEVEL control) as well as the A/D converter (post LEFT or RIGHT LEVEL control). -
Page 8: Rear Panel Connections And Controls
Rear Panel connections and controls INPUT Jacks The USB Dual Tube Pre INPUT jacks allow you to connect a low impedance source to the Mic preamp through the XLR connection. If you use the 1/4" connection, the input connects to a high impedance unbalanced instrument input amplifier. -
Page 9: S/Pdif Output
S/PDIF Output The S/PDIF connector allows the USB Dual Tube Pre to connect to a wide range of consumer and professional equipment. This out- put is .5V p-p (when connected) and has a 75 Ohm impedance. The S/PDIF output is controlled by the Rear SAMPLE RATE switch and is independent of the USB sample rate. -

Page 11: Applications
APPLICATIONS: Microphone Pre Amplifier: The USB Dual Tube Pre is a high quality microphone preamplifier suitable for all dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones. Most conventional mixers utilize budget minded microphone preamps and while very functional, they do not sound all that great. The USB Dual Tube Pre serves as a quality upgrade that will give you more flexibility and a more robust tone than the standard preamps. -
Page 12: Signal/Clip Leds
SIGNAL/CLIP LEDs: The USB Dual Tube Pre monitors the signal level at the tube output as well as the A/D inputs. This allows you to optimize the input gain setting and also prevent clipping of the A/D. If you keep the Output control above the 12 O'clock position, both the input and A/D levels are indicated. To check the input signal level alone, turn the Output knob below the 12 O'clock position. -
Page 13: S/Pdif Operation
ART preamps as their front end. Send the signal from your preamp to a low gain input on your amp, or even a "loop return" jack which allows you to bypass the amp's solid state preamp altogether. -
