The ART USB Dual Pre is ideal for laptop-based
audio production. It's powered by an internal 9-volt battery, your
computer's USB bus, or an optional 12-volt DC adapter. The rugged
aluminum chassis with rubber sides handles road abuse.
The ART
USB Dual Pre has two low-noise input channels with XLR balanced and 1/4"
TRS inputs, each with up to 48dB of clean gain and clip LED indicators.
With it's low noise 48-volt phantom power supply you can power up to
two mics as well as the preamp when running off any of the power
sources. The 1/4" outputs are buffered and low impedance balanced for
use as either preamplifier outputs or feeds for powered monitors. A rear
1/8" TRS mini headphone jack with level and monitor controls provides
latency-free monitoring of inputs during recording or the USB bus during
playback. Fully compliant with the USB 1.1 specification, this compact
device uses USB adaptive mode for playback and USB asynchronous mode for
recording.
