Art Tube MP Studio - with Meter

This NOS ART Tube MP Studio Microphone Preamp in Mint condition. I had purchase 2 of these (one as backup) for a Studio that never happened. Now, they are NOS (New Old Stock), never used.

I am not an authorized dealer - just a private individual selling some of my gear, so it sells here on Reverb as Excellent..
