Digital MPA-II
2-Channel Tube Preamp with Digital Connectivity
The Digital MPA II is a two-channel preamp with streamlined controls and real tube tone in a 2U rackmount enclosure. It offers the features and sound of the Pro MPA II, with extended connectivity for any digital recording setup.
In addition to the analog XLR and 1/4 connections, it features AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and optical outputs. It also features an optical input and word clock input and thru jacks. Sample rate and dither is set by a rotary control on the front panel.
Simple to use and easy to integrate, the Digital MPA II offers classic tube warmth for the modern studio.
