 Art Tube MP Professional Preamp/processer Great, Excellent!! October 28, 2008
I purchased this preamp/processor on 10/23/08, along with the Behringer ECM8000 Omnidirectional Measurement Condenser Microphone from Amazon. The two of these products create a stunning, realistic sound, so good that your voice in the recording sounds almost like hearing yourself speak. It is a good preamp for those starting out in recording. The preamp is able to control the microphone through separate input & output control knobs so that noise is kept to a minimum; has phantom 48V power switch for microphones; phase reverse(for multiple microphones close); and a 20db gain switch for extra boost. The preamp has 2 inputs: 1 balanced XLR jack & one 1/4" balanced jack. It has two outputs: 1-balanced XLR plug & 1 unbalanced 1/4" output jack(mono). To use the 1/4" unbalanced(mono) output jack with stereo headphones or recording, you need to get HOSA STEREO 3.5mm (M) - MONO 1/4" PHONE (M), 5 ft., and 3.5mm Stereo Jack To 1/4" Stereo Plug Adapter. This Art Tube MP Pro preamp/processor and the Behringer ECM8000 omni-directional microhone are a great combination for the money. I tested out this microphone & preamp on 10/29/08. The sound quality of this microphone and the capability of this preamp/processor is incredible--just like being there when recorded on an iRiver H320. You can turn the output & input volumes up & down enough to control volume level or clarity. Turn the input up & the output down until the voice is clear, & voice quailty is superior. Tweak the input & output a little more until the music sounds clear, & live music in a living room is ear-tingling (when you've been used to a less sensitve microphone). I highly recommend both these products. Haven't had a lick of trouble yet.
Can't go wrong, don't let the price fool you! October 23, 2008
I read a blog that said the artist Orpheos recorded
half his new album with this and it sounds great to my ears too.
Very smooth and warm sounding.

i use this little guy to power a condenser microphone that uses phantom power. it works well, and the tubes add a nice warmth to the recording. i would recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to spend too much money, because this really is a nice piece of equipment.
Wonderfull!! January 7, 2008

This is a not a super high end preamp. If you take some time and learn its functions, it works very well. I use it for some live vocals that needed a little more presence. If you are getting noise then your not using it right, or you got one that was damaged in shipping.
For the price I would have to say This is WELL worth it.

I like the price and it does warm up a relatively low-priced powered mic but is it asking too much to have a simple ON/OFF switch? Why do you have to unplug it to turn it off?
