{"product_id":"art-digital-mpa-ii-62796","title":"Digital MPA II","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDigital MPA-II: The Pro MPA-II Spirit with the Decisive Advantage of Digital\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a continuation of the ProMPA-II, the Digital MPA-II retains the tube preamp architecture, the musicality of a Class A circuit, and the advanced controls that made the range successful. The major difference is the integration of an \u003cstrong\u003eA\/D converter\u003c\/strong\u003e and a digital output section directly usable for recording. The result: you keep the color and dynamics of a true tube preamp while simplifying your recording chain to an interface, recorder, or digital console.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis evolution makes the Digital MPA-II a particularly relevant choice for modernizing a hybrid studio: you benefit from analog sensations at the gain, impedance, and harmonic saturation level while securing a clean, synchronizable digital routing compatible with multiple formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Preamp Tailored for Studio Recording (Vocals, Instruments, Overheads, M\/S)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003e2 channels\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Digital MPA-II targets demanding home studios as well as studios seeking a characterful, versatile, and easy-to-integrate preamp. It excels on \u003cstrong\u003evocals\u003c\/strong\u003e (grain, warmth, presence), acoustic guitars (detail and width), electric sources via the \u003cstrong\u003eHi-Z instrument input\u003c\/strong\u003e, and stereo recordings: overheads, piano, ambiance, and M\/S pairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edual mono\u003c\/strong\u003e operation allows processing two independent sources, while the \u003cstrong\u003estereo mode\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMid\/Side option\u003c\/strong\u003e facilitate ambient or guitar recordings in M\/S with left\/right summation. Per-channel controls (gain, output level, high-pass filter, phase, pad) make the preamp very practical daily, both for tracking and reamping previously recorded sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Settings: Shape Color, Dynamics, and Mic Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eVariable Impedance and 48 V: The Right \"Match\" for Every Mic\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach channel features an \u003cstrong\u003eadjustable input impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e: a powerful tool to influence a microphone's response, proximity effect, and low-mid management. Combined with the switchable \u003cstrong\u003e48 V phantom power\u003c\/strong\u003e, this flexibility helps you get the best from a modern condenser or a more classic dynamic mic, avoiding a too dull or conversely too aggressive capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHigh\/Low Voltage PLATE: More Than Just \"Tube Warmth\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePLATE\u003c\/strong\u003e selector (high\/low voltage) directly affects the behavior of the 12AX7 tubes. At low voltage, the sound is often softer, with subtle natural compression. At high voltage, the output gains in sustain, definition, and dynamic headroom, very useful on transients (percussions, guitar attacks) or for vocals that need to stay precise in a dense mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA\/D Conversion and Digital Outputs: A Direct Path to Your DAW\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe integrated converter provides selectable digital output formats: \u003cstrong\u003eAES\/EBU, S\/PDIF, or ADAT\u003c\/strong\u003e. Format and \u003cstrong\u003esampling rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e are selectable on the front panel, as is the resolution: \u003cstrong\u003e16 or 24 bits\u003c\/strong\u003e. The two \u003cstrong\u003eWordclock connectors\u003c\/strong\u003e on the rear allow clock synchronization and stabilize the system in multi-device environments, ensuring coherent conversion and reliable stereo imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor control, the large \u003cstrong\u003evintage-style backlit VU meters\u003c\/strong\u003e display analog levels, while the \u003cstrong\u003emulticolor LEDs\u003c\/strong\u003e indicate tube gain and digital output levels. This lets you manage gain staging clearly, avoiding unwanted clipping while exploiting tube coloration whenever desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of channels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValve\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRack unit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTubes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e12AX7 for a warm sound\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower connection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eIEC connector\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eAES\/EBU, S\/PDIF, or ADAT\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable sampling rate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e44.1 - 192 kHz, 16\/24 bits (front panel)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariable input impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e150 - 2400 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u0026gt;110 dB (A-weighted)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e15 - 48,000 Hz (+0 -1 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-level frequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e15 - 1,200,000 Hz (+0 -1 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax gain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e75 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax XLR input level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e+19 dBu\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax instrument input level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e+17 dBu\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax output level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e27 dBu (XLR)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u0026lt;
