Microphone preamplifier and direct instrument amplifier.
The MP 2A is a combined mic preamp/DI, based on a classic TUBE-TECH design, but featuring even higher fidelity and two primary new features: An impedance switch to match the input perfectly to all types of microphones, and an overload indicator and 2 dB gain steps.
MP2A is the second in the new range of upgraded microphone preamplifier/DI’s (The modular PM1A was the first). These new preamps features even higher headroom and fidelity than the earlier TUBE-TECH micpres. Listening tests of the MP 2A reveal sound quality second to none, placing it among a handful of the world's very best designs.
The MP 2A DI continues the TUBE-TECH tradition of extremely good sounding DIs, delivering world class sound for bass and guitar DI recordings.
