It offers an extremely wide 120dB dynamic range with low distortion and includes ART’s Output Protection Limiter to prevent digital clipping. Designed for professional and home studios, it delivers versatile, warm, and textured audio performance with robust build quality and user-friendly controls. ## Description Designed as the ideal preamp for any application, the tube driven TPS II and DPS II add warmth and texture to any audio source. These two-channel high performance preamps use a hand selected 12AX7A tube in the low noise input circuitry. This, coupled with ARTs proprietary V3 (Variable Valve Voicing) and variable input impedance allow the TPS II and DPS II to deliver incredible performance from cost effective single space rack mount solutions. V3 Technology V3 provides optimised reference points to begin the recording process. The V3 presets were created and fine-tuned by some of the industries 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. Variable Input Impedance Variable input impedance increases the sonic potential of the TPS II & DPS 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. The variable impedance control is infinitely variable allowing much finer control and the ability to tune the preamp to the microphones ideal sweet spot. A feature usually only available on far more expensive and exclusive microphone preamps. Extremely Wide Dynamic Range The DPS II and 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. OPL (Output Protection Limiter) ARTs 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 analogue 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 analogue and digital outputs allow you to optimise the unit for simultaneous applications. Review: Level control. - Compact, gr eat signal path. Definitely an important addition to my home studio. I don’t have to watch the volume meters on my computer half as much. I love its self levelling OPL VU Protectioni. Takes the worry out of peaking into the Red on the inputs path. Great piece of kit by A R T. AS ALWAYS.

One output per input. It does have balanced and unbalanced outputs. Using both at the same time may cause several issues. Noise and db level differences. You could try splitting the output with a "Y" splitter, but that may cause unwanted noise as well. **Q: Can I power this unit with 220V ?** A: Hasan,Sorry, this specific unit will not allow 220V. Power Requirements 110-125 VAC, 16W.If you have any questions, please let us know and we will be able to assist you. **Q: How can I get this preamp to function like a regular pream for my home stereo.** A: You need a recording interface with line level inputs ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Level control. *by P***L on 19 March 2019* Compact, gr eat signal path.
