Gearank Recommendation
The ART Tube MP Studio V3 was on our recommended list for Microphone Preamps from April 2020 until it was out-ranked by the Behringer MIC2200 V2 in September 2022.
Overview
The ART Tube MP Studio V3 brings several, high-end features to the sub-$100 preamp range.
The V3 stands for “Variable Valve Voicing” technology which enables you to select different kinds of tube coloration (or none at all) with a radial switch.
An output limiter protects your signal in the case of sudden transient jumps or dynamic performances.
A built-in VU meter lets you set gain levels more accurately than relying on your DAW.
