Page 2: Introduction
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 New ART DPS is the first tube microphone preamplification system designed with recording musicians in mind. - Page 3 ART Tube Technology similar to that of the ART 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! FEATURES: •...

Page 4: Installation
ANALOG AUDIO CONNECTIONS Audio connections to and from the DPS Hot (+), Pin 3 = Cold (-), Pin 1 = Ground) and unbalanced ¼” (Tip = Hot (+), Sleeve = Ground). We recommend that you switch off the +48V Phantom Power whenever changing connections to the XLR input. -
Page 5: Controls And Indicators
CONTROLS & INDICATORS INPUT CONTROL The Input Control sets the amount of input gain of the DPS . Turn the control clockwise to increase gain and counterclockwise to decrease gain. You may control two ranges of gain with this control, +20 to +68dB and +0 to +48dB. -
Page 6: Phase Reverse Switch
ART engineers ran our preamplification circuit through a battery of tests and real life studio conditions. Our goal was to create a processor that would allow a user to have presets that were optimized for specific recording applications. -
Page 7: Vu Meter
“red”. OUTPUT CONTROL The Output Control sets the output level of the DPS . When the control is fully counterclockwise, there is no output. Turning the control clockwise increases the level of the output signal. When setting the Output level control, refer to the VU Meter for an accurate level leaving the preamp. -
Page 8: Digital Level
DPS™ automatically go into the digital converters. On the back of the DPS™ there is a side chain. One can either send out the signals to an effects processor, such as an ART Dual Levelar for additional compression, and return it to the DPS™... -
Page 9: Adat Channel Control
1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, or all 8 of them at once. When no lights are on, this means all incoming ADAT channels are bypassed. This is frequently used when the DPS™ is in an ADAT chain, but not currently being used. -
Page 10: Connections
If the rear XLR input and its matching front ¼ ” input are both in use, the DPS will sum the two signals, with the XLR slightly attenuating the ¼” input. This is not normally suggested. -
Page 11: Xlr Output Jacks (Rear)
This interrupts the ground path, and therefore breaks the loop. S/PDIF COAX OUT (REAR) The digital coax output jack on the DPS™ is an RCA type that outputs S/PDIF stereo signals over a coaxial shielded cable. The data format is S/PDIF stereo 24 bit data at up to 100kHz sampling rate. -
Page 12: Optical Adat Input (Rear)
S/PDIF signal to ensure a high quality transmission. OPTICAL ADAT INPUT (REAR) The optical input of the DPS™ allows the user to use the DPS™ within an ADAT chain. The DPS™, when set to ADAT mode, synchronizes its sample rate with that of incoming ADAT clock signals. - Page 13 ¼” INSERTS (REAR) The DPS has 2 channel inserts that are routed just before the digital converters. The 2 female TRS jacks can be used to send the DPS’ analog signal to an external processing device, and then return the effected signal to the digital converters.

Page 14: Operation
Through use of the V3 can be processed by the DPS . Simply mic the instrument (if acoustic), amp, speaker, or plug the instrument directly in to take full advantage of V3™ technology. - Page 15 Variable Input and Output level controls make the preamps in the DPS ideal for level matching material in postproduction situations…an extremely valuable use! - 15 -...
