INSTALLATION
The Tube MP Studio may be used in a wide variety of applications and
environments. Self-contained in an all-steel enclosure, the Tube MP
Studio is designed for continuous professional use. Because the unit is
compact and lightweight, mounting location is not critical. However, for
greater reliability we recommend that you not place the Tube MP
Studio on top of power amps or other sources of heat. The tube
circuitry needs about a minute to “warm up” from a cold power up.
AC POWER HOOKUP
The Tube MP Studio has an external power supply designed to
operate at 115 VAC @ 50 to 60 Hz. Units manufactured for use
outside the United States of America have been modified to comply
with the required electrical specifications.
Only use the adapter that
came with the Tube MP Studio.
If the adapter becomes lost or
damaged, contact ART Customer Service for replacement. If you need
to purchase one locally, just make sure that you specify 9 Volt AC (not
DC), at 800 ma.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
Audio connections to and from the Tube MP Studio are balanced XLR
(Pin 2 = Hot (+), Pin 3 = Cold (-), Pin 1 = Ground) and unbalanced ¼”
(Tip = Hot (+), Sleeve = Ground). We recommend that you switch off
the +48V Phantom Power whenever changing connections to the XLR
input.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning:
To avoid the risk of shock or fire, do not expose this unit to
moisture. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Do not remove the
metal cover; there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Only use the
power adapter that came with this unit or one obtained from ART’s
Customer Service Department.
