Description

The all-new ART Digital MPA-II delivers all of the same great features of the ProMPA with the added versatility of digital output. Like the ProMPA-II, each input circuit has 48v phantom power and features variable input impedance which can radically vary the overall performance of any high-quality dynamic or ribbon microphone. The Digital MPA-II can be configured for dual mono or stereo operation with selectable mid side mic support, summing the adjacent channel, to decode left right signals.

The input section of the Digital MPA-II operates at either a low or high plate voltage applied to the two integrated hand-selected 12AX7 tubes for a wider variation of preamp tone and performance. Large back-lit analog VU output meters display output levels while multi-colored LED arrays, with average or peak hold, show tube gain and digital output levels.

In addition to XLR and 1 4″ analog outputs, the Digital MPA-II features a high-quality A to D converter which offers digital connectivity on S PDIF, ADAT, or AES EBU outputs. A rotary control on the front panel allows the selection of format and sample rates from 44.1 to 192 KHz and 16-bit dithering. There is also a push-button for, and two wordclock jacks, allowing loop-through.
