Product Description

Phonograph records have three basic problems:1. It is physically impossible to press them with ridges that end up allowing low frequencies to come out at the same reproduction level as mid and high frequencies. Bass compensation is therefore needed during playback.2. Records produce a certain amount of hiss which is covered up in post-production by boosting the gain of the high frequencies before pressing. Counter-EQing during playback compensates for this.3. Magnetic cartridges produce a weak signal, which must be boosted to match the rest of the amplification, and this too is done during playback.In the mid-1950s, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) established compensation standards. The resulting RIAA preamp has been built into every hi-fi and stereo amplifier with phono or turntable inputs since then. A separate RIAA preamp is necessary when you are connecting a turntable to a mixer that does not have one built in. The DeeJayPRE features an RIAA-type phono preamp circuit housed in a rugged metal case with full patching facilities for connecting it to a phono turntable and mixer. ... Read more

Product Description

The ART Tube MP Studio features ART's "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. The Tube MP Studio goes even further, with the inclusion of a VU meter for observation and measurement of the unit's output level, which enables the user to keep his signal consistent with desired levels. The meter also reflects the impact of the OPL circuitry on the signal. For example, if the signal is "in the red" on the meter, the meter will reflect the attenuation of the signal when the OPL is activated, and the signal is brought out of the "red". The Tube MP Studio is the only Mic Pre in it's class with sophisticated metering and OPL functionality. The Tube MP Studio can be used in a wide variety of applications including recording, project and home studios where it's metering functionality and OPL circuit really shines. It also functions as a direct box, with impedance matching and preamplification for line-level sources.Features: Built-in VU metering, built-in brick wall limiting, hand selected 12AX7 tube, variable input and output gain controls, provides over 70 dB of gain, +48 phantom power and phase reversal switch, XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs. ...
