From the Manufacturer The TPS II (Tube Preamp System 2) is a two channel high
performance preamplifier coupled with ARTs proprietary V3 (Variable Valve
Voicing) functionality. With variable valve voicing, the TPS II is completely
versatile and maintains a high quality of performance you would expect from an
ART tube preamp. The TPS II also features variable input impedance which
allows users to dial in and match any microphone type from large condensers to
ribbon mics. Like its predecessor, the DPS, our newly improved V3 feature
provides optimized reference points to begin the recording process for
guitars, bass guitars, synths, acoustic instruments, percussion, vocals and
more. Unique to its class, the TPS II provides level monitoring with two
analog meters as well as two newly added input monitoring LED meters. High-Z
instruments or balanced microphone signals are input through front and rear
panel jacks. This newly enhanced TPS II can accept +20 dB peaks while
maintaining over 120 dB dynamic range, quiet performance and incredibly low
distortion. ARTs legendary tube stage maintains our classic "warm sound" and
adds additional tube voicing specifically tailored to vocal, guitar, bass, and
acoustic instruments making the TPS II an incredible DI box. Our OPL (Output
Protection Limiting) feature is also included to control overshoots and
normalize levels before clipping occurs. The TPS II was conceived, designed
and manufactured to the highest standards to provide years of quiet, reliable
performance. Audition one, and you too will know why the TPS II is indeed the
most cost effective professional mic preamp system youll find on the market
today.
