Art Microphone Preamps

Every recording engineer understands the importance of the microphone preamp. By taking a microphone signal and carrying it to a higher level, the preamp plays an essential role in the studio, and being equipped with a quality one can make a huge difference between a recording that sounds good, and a recording that sounds extraordinary. For a microphone preamp that's designed, tried, and tested by sound experts, the ideal boost you need can be more than attained when you go with an Art microphone preamp.

Throughout Art's massive selection of microphone preamps, you'll find more than enough options that are perfect for anything from amateur home recording setups to world class professional studios.

For an affordable and high-performance 2-channel microphone preamp, the new Art ProMPA II is the next generation of preamp technology. Containing variable input impedance in each microphone input circuit, this incredible preamp is amazingly flexible, has a wide frequency response, and overall is designed to deliver years of reliable operation both in the studio and on the road for live sound reinforcement.
