PreSonus’ popular Class A XMAX preamps are widely lauded for their clarity and transparency. Our tube preamps are beloved for their warm, smooth sound. With the Blue Tube DP V2 dual-path mic/instrument preamp, you get both types of high-quality sound in one unit.

No wonder the original BlueTube DP became a classic!

Now we’ve improved on the classic unit with the BlueTube DP V2. The solid state path now feeds PreSonus’ top-of-the-line Class A XMAX mic preamplifier with 80 dB of variable gainan upgrade from the original BlueTube DP’s solid-state stage.
