Dynamic microphones should not be affected or damaged if they are
plugged into a line where Phantom power is present. However, if the
mic doesn't need it, do not use it. Some things are best left untested!
PHASE REVERSE SWITCH
The Phase Reverse switch is provided to reverse the phase of the
signal. This switch works on Pins 2 and 3 of the XLR output jack and
also reverses the polarity of the ¼” output jack. In the Normal position,
the signal is in-phase. In the Reverse (or “in”) position, Pins 2 and 3
are reversed and the signal is changed to 180 degrees out of phase.
In multiple microphone applications, mic placement can affect the
phase of the signals. If two microphones pick up the same signal from
different locations, the result can be a hollow or frequency “shifted”
sound. In some cases it may sound as if an instrument disappears if it
happens to be 180 degrees out of phase. Depressing the Phase switch
can remedy this. In general, if your sound is “thin” or “out of position”,
try reversing the phase to correct the problem.
V3 – VARIABLE VALVE VOICING CONTROL
This Tube MP Studio V3™ features ART’s proprietary V3
technology. V3 (which stands for Variable Valve Voicing), provides
optimized reference points to begin the recording process for guitars,
bass guitars, synths, acoustic instruments, percussion and more.
ART engineers ran our preamplification circuit through a battery of
tests and real life studio conditions. Our goal was to create a processor
that would allow a user to have presets that were optimized for specific
recording applications. We set out to create a preamp that would be
nimble enough to handle both violins and kick drums, and nearly
everything in between.
We wanted to take the guessing out of the equation – and that is how
we developed V3™. It’s simple, easy and it works really well.
