Review: Great Professional 2U Mic Preamp - As a TV producer and VO artist, I found this preamp really does the job. It works well and is easy to use, and gives a really rich sound. I have had it for 8 years and it has never let me down. Highly recommended, unbeatable value. Review: Sounds like butter! - OMG, this preamp makes my guitars, especially my acoustic, sound like butter. The tube warmth is definitely worth the price. I have my vocal microphone on one channel and my guitar on the other, both feeding an AXE IO usb interface. I can drive the guitar channel into the warmest distortion you’ve ever hear. Butter, butter, butter!! This makes me want to get the smaller single channel tube preamp from Art to take for open mic night! ## Features - Variable Input Impedance For Flexible Microphone Voicing (150 ohms To 2400 ohms) - Large VU Meters - Discrete Class-A Input Microphone Preamplifier - Extremely Low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) - Additional Front Mounted Instrument Input Jack ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00PJVA3MU | | Amplifier Type | Tube | | Brand | ART | | Brand Name | ART | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Microphone | | Compatible devices | Microphone | | Connector Type | 6.35mm Jack, XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 89 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00840402018360, 00840402022725 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 22.2D x 48.2W x 8.8H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Art Pro Audio Pro MPA-II - Two Channel Mic Preamp | | Item Weight | 5.5 Kilograms | | Item weight | 5.5 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Art Pro Audio | | Manufacturer Part Number | PROMPAII | | Model Name | Pro MPA-II | | Model Number | Pro MPA-II | | Model name | Pro MPA-II | | Output Channel Quantity | 2 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | 12 months. | | Product dimensions | 22.2D x 48.2W x 8.8H centimetres | | UPC | 840402018360 840402022725 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ART - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Microphone - **Material:** Steel, Aluminium - **Product dimensions:** 22.2D x 48.2W x 8.8H centimetres ## Images ![Art Pro Audio PrOMPa-Ii - Two Channel Mic Preamp - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81s4ZjB0EHL.jpg) ![Art Pro Audio PrOMPa-Ii - Two Channel Mic Preamp - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bCk17BLqL.jpg) ![Art Pro Audio PrOMPa-Ii - Two Channel Mic Preamp - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41J16uwGDtL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Anybody tried the MPAII with high quality condensers? I want to try it with a pair of Audix scx25a's, wondering if it will warm up the sound.** A: I've used it with both AKG 414s and a TLM103 and was pleased with the unit's ability. I did mess with the controls a bit to "tune in" the nicest sound. This particular preamp got a very high rating in Sound On Sound Magazines Mic Pre "shoot out." They put it up against Pres costing several times more and it actually won praises in several categories. Warning: I bought (2), returned one as non working. Now the second unit is having meter issues. (meter light tuns on and off randomly. **Q: will this work in europe? the picture says 250 volt, but there are some confusing answers by the community...** A: There is no switch but by the power plug input there is a fuse (250V / 0.5A). My best guess is there are EU versions with different fuses for different power loads but I would call ART to be sure. It may work out of the box! **Q: Will changing the tubes void the warranty?** A: I don't know. It may. **Q: What are the steps on how I can connect this to my Scarlett Focusrite 2i2 audio interface? I'm al planning to upgrade to the 6i6, any differences?** A: I'd recommend skipping the 6i6 and going up to the 18i8 or 18i20 the 6i6 doesn't have enough inputs. In terms of audio quality you won't notice an improvement between Scarlett they all sound good ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Professional 2U Mic Preamp *by P***W on 31 December 2024* As a TV producer and VO artist, I found this preamp really does the job.

Replaced tubes was easy but watch some YouTube videos first...you can use to much force. Works great all our microphones went from too quiet to too hot if you don't turn it down...a much better problem to have. Slight delay as it warms up when you turn it on from when the microphones go on. We are a24/7 radio station with a bunch of audiophiles as DJs and none of them are complaining...and they will complain believe me. Very satisfied solved several problems for us. We have been using it constantly for about a month...more use than an individual would prob do in a year...zero problems which as the de facto tech guy for the station is enough to make me weep with joy...it's a complex operation and this is something I haven't had to go back to and fix. I will try to post an update in a year. ## Frequently Bought Together - ART ProMPAII Two Channel Discrete Class A Microphone Preamp - ART Pro VLAII Professional Two Channel Compressor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/53535233-art-pro-audio-prompa-ii-two-channel-mic-preamp](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/53535233-art-pro-audio-prompa-ii-two-channel-mic-preamp) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-11-05*
