Pro MPA II : Fastforward Microphone preamp and a great all rounder

I'm using the ART Pro MPA ll preamplifier in a Music Academy recording studio for vocal recordings with the large membrane condenser mics, accoustic guitars, percussions and strings recordings.

I've decided to use the ART Pro II because of it's simplicity, solid quality build and the clear honest sound. I was also looking for that honest warm sound with character.

For a vocal amp that we use five days a week and more than six hours everyday, all I can say is; it was worth the price and I recommend it to everyone, from budget to pro environments. I am not saying that it is the best preamp in compared with lots of costly high-end preamps out there but its final quality is very close to most high priced preamps.

The analogue inputs and outputs are clearly self explanotary, the retro looking knobs feel great and the VU meters are precise. Since I'm working mainly with young people in the studio, I like the idea of the +48 phantom power button switch located at the back of the preamp, meaning that nobody might or can switch it on accidentaly and demage the equipment.

Great of piece of equipment!!
