This two-channel high performance preamp uses a hand selected 12AX7A tube in the low noise input circuitry. This, coupled with ART’s proprietary V3™ (Variable Valve Voicing) and variable input impedance allows the TPS II to deliver incredible performance from a cost effective single space rackmount solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eV3™ Technology\u003cbr\u003eV3™ provides optimized reference points to begin the recording process. The V3™ presets were created and fine-tuned by some of the industry’s top studio and live-sound engineers. V3™ technology allows you to select between a multitude of presets designed for guitars (electric and acoustic), keyboards, bass guitars, drums, vocals and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariable Input Impedance\u003cbr\u003eVariable input impedance increases the sonic potential of the TPS II even further. It delivers entirely new sonic textures and tone by varying the input impedance of the preamp, which in turn varies the way the microphone reacts to the load of the preamp. This creates a wide range of new sonic possibilities with any modern or vintage condenser, ribbon or dynamic microphone.\u003cbr\u003eThe variable impedance control is infinitely variable allowing much finer control and the ability to tune the preamp to the microphone’s ideal sweet spot. A feature usually only available on far more expensive and exclusive microphone preamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtremely Wide Dynamic Range\u003cbr\u003eThe TPS II can accept up to +20dB peaks while maintaining over 120dB dynamic range with incredibly low distortion. Input LED metering monitors the signal level of the input amplifier so maximum gain can be achieved without clipping the preamp at the input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOPL™ (Output Protection Limiter)\u003cbr\u003eART’s OPL™ (Output Protection Limiter), which precisely and accurately controls and maintains the output peak signal. The OPL™ circuitry is crucial in protecting the next link in a signal chain – such as a hard-disk recording system or a sound card – because unlike analog clipping that sounds musical and sometimes pleasing, digital clipping is nasty and often fatal for your monitors’ tweeters. A versatile insert loop on each channel provides access for additional signal processing or direct access to our high quality A\/D converter. Separate gain controls on analog and digital outputs allow you to optimize the unit for simultaneous applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003eVariable Input Impedance\u003cbr\u003eImproved V3™ Variable Valve Voicing Presets\u003cbr\u003eLED Input Meter with Analog Output Meter\u003cbr\u003eEnhanced ART Tube Technology Adds Warmth\u003cbr\u003eAutomatically switches between instrument and microphone preamp\u003cbr\u003eWide Frequency Response (5hz\/50kHz)\u003cbr\u003eEnhanced OPL™ Output Protection Limiter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions\t1.75”H x 19W x 6.5”D\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight\t5.5 lbs.\u003cbr\u003eInput Connections\tFront: XLR (balanced)\u003cbr\u003eRear: Switchable XLR(bal.)\/ 1⁄4” TS\u003cbr\u003eOutput Connections\tXLR (balanced), 1⁄4”TS\u003cbr\u003eInput Impedance XLR, 1⁄4”\t5K ohms, 1M ohm\u003cbr\u003eOutput Impedance XLR, 1⁄4”\t300 ohms, 150ohms\u003cbr\u003eMaximum Input Level, XLR\t+19dBu\u003cbr\u003eMaximum Input Level, 1⁄4”\t+22dBu\u003cbr\u003eMaximum Output Level, XLR\t+28dBu\u003cbr\u003eMaximum Output Level, 1⁄4”\t+22dBu\u003cbr\u003eCMRR\t\u0026gt;75dB (typical @ 1kHz)\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response\t5Hz to 50kHz, +\/-.1dB\u003cbr\u003eDynamic Range\t\u0026gt;100dB\u003cbr\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion (THD)\t\u0026lt;0.01% (clean), \u0026lt;0.1%(warm)\u003cbr\u003eMaximum Gain\t\u003cbr\u003eXLR to XLR\t80dB\u003cbr\u003e1⁄4” to 1⁄4”\t68dB\u003cbr\u003eXLR to 1⁄4”\t74dB\u003cbr\u003e1⁄4” to XLR\t74dB\u003cbr\u003eEquivalent Input Noise (EIN)\t\u003cbr\u003eXLR to XLR\t-129dBu (A weighted)\u003cbr\u003e1⁄4” to 1⁄4”\t-105dBu (A weighted)\u003cbr\u003eTube Type\t12AX7A, Dual Triode, Hand Selected\u003cbr\u003ePower Requirements\tUSA – 110-125V AC \/ 50hz\/16W – Export units configured for country of destination\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ART Technology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46231824138284,"sku":"ARTP_TPSIICE","price":629.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2970\/9956\/files\/image-8997b6c7-09b7-4a62-9ec8-c15d999ffbfa.webp?v=1790148161","url":"https:\/\/roycemusic.com.au\/products\/art-tps-ii","provider":"roycemusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
