The PreSonus BlueTube DP v2 is a two-channel microphone/instrument preamplifier with "Dual Path" technology that offers the best of both worlds. It features a solid-state preamplification stage and a valve preamplification stage in each channel, offering either warm, rich valve sound or solid-state transparency. When Tube Drive is disabled, the valve preamplification stage is bypassed, providing ultra-quiet preamplification. When enabled, the signal passes through the valve preamp, providing everything from gentle warmth to aggressive distortion.
The solid-state path powers the company's XMAX Class A microphone preamp with 80 dB of variable gain, whilst the valve path includes a 12AX7 valve that operates at higher voltages than comparable models, producing plenty of headroom. Each channel of the unit includes a -20dB pad, phase inversion, 80 Hz filter and +48 V phantom power. Controls include a solid-state GAIN control and a switchable on/off Tube Drive. The front panel features illuminated analogue VU meters for each channel for easy visual monitoring.
The preamplifier is perfect for enhancing all types of microphones, including condensers, dynamics and ribbons, as well as instruments like keyboards, acoustic and electric guitars and bass. It also serves as a DI box, thanks to balanced XLR outputs and unbalanced 1/4" jack outputs. Singer-songwriters can run their vocals through one channel and a guitar through the other, feeding both to a sound system. Housed in a robust half-rack enclosure, the preamplifier can be used as a desktop unit, or can be screwed onto a standard rack shelf.
