The Tube MP Studio V3 features ART's new V3 (Variable Valve Voicing) Technology. V3 provides optimized reference points to begin the recording process.

V3 gives you incredible presets for every instrument you record, so all your recordings will sound professional. Need to tweak the presets? Go right ahead -- hone your perfect tone! That's the power of V3. V3 also incorporates ART's OPL (Output Protection Limiter), which precisely and accurately controls and maintains the output peak signal. The OPL circuitry is crucial in protecting the next link in a signal chain - such as a hard-disk recording system or a sound card. While its primary application is to be used with a microphone, the Tube MP Studio V3 can also function as a direct box - impedance matching, amplifying and improving the sound of any instrument plugged into it. The design of the Tube MP Studio V3 allows it to add warmth and fatness to a signal while maintaining low-noise. The Tube MP Studio V3 features all the tone and functionality of its predecessor, the Tube MP. Phase Reverse, +48v phantom power, clip LED and a +20dB switch are all included, as well as an analog VU meter for visual tracking of the signal. Whether you're working with a computer, hard-disk, or digital multitrack recorder, the Tube MP Studio V3's design delivers professional recording studio results at a fraction of the cost of comparable equipment. The Tube MP Studio V3 offers superior performance and sound quality to the "on-board" preamps found in today's low-cost mixers and multi-trackers. Professional quality sound combined with professional features - a hand-selected 12AX7a Tube, Phantom Power and Phase Reverse - are what make the Tube MP Studio V3 an outstanding microphone preamp.
Half the Size, 3x the Licenses
You can pack up to 1,500 licenses on the 3rd Generation iLok — that's three times as many as the previous generation. And at 1.5" x 0.5", it's the smallest iLok ever. It's super durable though, thanks to its split- and crack-proof aluminum frame. Would-be thieves will have a hard time stealing your iLok, as the 3rd Generation iLok's wider and stronger security loop accommodates most desktop security cables, and its etched serial number doesn't rub off without some serious effort. A stylish embossed logo makes counterfeiting extremely difficult, so you'll know that your iLok is the real deal. The 3rd Generation iLok comes complete with a glowing blue LED indicator.
Three times the capacity of the previous generation
The 3rd Generation iLok holds up to 1,500 licenses, and depending on the type of licenses you own, it may even hold beyond that. With three times the capacity of its predecessor, the 3rd Generation iLok puts more licenses in your pocket than ever.
Half the size with a heavy-duty aluminum frame
At Sweetwater, we've lost count of how many times we've accidentally knocked an iLok out of our laptop's USB port. The 2nd Generation iLok was an improvement over the first, but was still rather obtrusive. Half the size of a 2nd Generation iLok, the 3rd Generation iLok solves this problem for good. And while it's unlikely that you'll knock this minuscule device out of your computer, don't fret if you do. Its sturdy one-piece extruded aluminum frame can handle a fall to the floor without splitting or cracking.
The most secure iLok ever
Secure the 3rd Generation iLok to your desk with a cable lock, and it's not going anywhere. Its security loop is built directly into the iLok's robust aluminum frame, making it extremely difficult to break. A large, clearly visible serial number is etched onto the iLok. And to prevent counterfeiting, the 3rd Generation iLok features a stylish embossed logo.
