ART Digital MPA

The Digital MPA is one of the finest microphone pre-amps with digital capability available today. The enhanced discrete front end maintains every nuance, revealing incredible dynamic range.

Our unique tube circuitry, using two 12AX7A tubes, renders unsurpassed detailclarity with the broadest range of microphones.

Take advantage of this world class processing via the analogdigital outputs. AES/EBU, S/PDIF. TOSLINK,ADAT interfaces allow connection to the broadest range equipment. The Digital MPA provides 24 bitit can adapt to 16 bit applications with the push of a button. The A/D is front panel adjustable from 44.1 to 96Ksyncs to ADATexternal word clock (32KHZ to 100KHz).

The Digital MPA circuitry is a hybrid design utilizing the strengths of all available technologies. The active balanced triple-differential transistor design with local feedback provides excellent CMRRlower noise than the typical transformer/tube front end. The 12AX7A tube section running on a regulated supply provides gain while maintaining the incredible dynamic range of the previous stagecontrolled overload characteristics. Insert jacks between the analogdigital section allow patching in additional signal processing before entering the digital realm.

Separate balanced analog outputsmultiple digital outputs possess individual level controls allowing simultaneous use. While the new Digital MPA accepts full line levels, an additional high-Z ¼” input makes the Digital MPA the perfect DI in studiolive applications.

The digital output section can be patched into directly via ¼” jacks between the analogdigital sections. This allows additional signal processing before entering the digital realmuse as a standalone high quality A/D converter. Professionalconsumer output formats are able as well as choice of optical format. You can even patch into any ADAT stream which pair (or ALL) of channels the Pro MPA w/ DIO transmits.

The Digital MPA was conceived, designedmanufactured to the highest standards to provide years of quiet, reliable performance.
