Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Applied Research and Technology's Solo MPA. For users ready to take the next
step, the ART Solo MPA Multivoice Tube Preamplifier picks up where built-in preamps drop off. Combining the
best of both worlds, the Solo MPA allows users to blend between a pristine low-noise/low-distortion solid state
transistor circuit and a warmer Class-A tube mic preamp. Along with the flexible EQ controls, users can voice
the Solo MPA to create their own signature sound.
Featuring 48V phantom power and a variable input impedance control, users can tailor the Solo MPA to suit their
microphone of choice, be it a high-quality dynamic, a studio grade condenser or a low-level ribbon. A Low-Cut control
allows vocals to be sculpted for clarity while the Tilt EQ can be used to emphasize high presence or low-end warmth.
Housed in a compact 1U space rack-mountable chassis with a CNC milled aluminum face plate, the Solo
MPA is designed to deliver years of reliable operation in the studio or at the venue.
