✔ Up to 75 dB of gain

The ART Pro MPA II is well known for its excellent price-to-performance ratio and flexibility. It can deliver a clean, transparent sound or a warmer, more pronounced tube character depending on the settings.

Note: One of the indicator lights/lamps behind the VU meters is not illuminated. This is only a cosmetic issue and has no effect on the sound, functionality, or operation of the preamp. All channels, gain controls, phantom power, settings, and the tube section work perfectly.
