Product Detail

ART DPS II Stereo Tube Preamp with Digital Out Factory B-Stock
DPS II


With the DPS II, twin high-performance discrete preamplifiers with local feedback are coupled with ART's flexible V3 (Variable Valve Voicing) 12AX7A gain stage-which delivers both flexibility and consistency in settings-plus a choice of analog and digital outputs. The enhanced mic preamp can accept +20dB peaks while maintaining over 120dB dynamic range and incredibly low distortion. An LED input meter monitors the signal level of the input amplifier. The auto-switching input allows the DPS II rear inputs to stay patched in while you use the front panel instrument inputs.


Enhancements to ACT's legendary tube stage maintain it's classic warm sound and add additional tube voicings specifically tailored to vocal, guitar, bass, and acoustic instruments, making this an incredible DI box. The enhanced OPL is available to control overshoots and normalize levels before digital clipping occurs. A versatile insert loop on each channel provides access for additional signal processing or direct access to ACT's high-quality A/D converter. Separate gain controls on analog and digital outputs allow you to optimize the unit for simultaneous applications.


Digital outputs include S/PDIF, TOSLINK, and ADAT (front panel selectable). The A/D is front-panel adjustable from 44.1K to 96K or syncs to ADAT or external word clock (32KHZ to 100KHz). You can patch into any ADAT stream and select which pair (or all) of channels the DPS II transmits. The DPS II also features ART A-to-D digital conversion and ART Tube Technology similar to that of the ART DI/O Preamp System. This ensures that when you are going from the analog preamplification to digital, your signal will be as warm and musical as you decide it to be. The DPS II does digital right!

"Nice product . . ." by Saturnius

Musical Experience: Home studio musician
Style of Music: acoustic, rock, ambient

I bought this piece because it had three things I was looking for: 1. a tube mic pre-amp, 2. two channels, 3. digital out. When recording acoustic guitar, I put two mics on either side, and run the signal directly to my sound card via SPDIF. After adjusting the "valve" and impedence controls (along with gain, of course) I am able to get a full and natural sound, much better than the harsh sounding preamps on either my m-audio breakout box or my behringer mixer. My studio is fairly basic, but this unit has made it possible for me to record at a rather high quality. I would recommend it to anyone like myself who is trying to attain a warmer and more natural sound for acoustic instruments or vocals. The digital output is a very nice option. . .
