The PreSonus BLUETUBE DP two channel microphone/instrument preamplifier with
Dual Path technology delivers the best of both worlds offering a solid state preamplifier
stage and a tube preamplifier stage in each channel. This new Dual Path feature delivers the
most flexible preamplifier in its price range by delivering both fat warm tube tone or
invisible solid state transparency. The BLUETUBE DP replaces the original award-winning
BLUETUBE as PreSonus' most affordable two-channel microphone/instrument preamplifier.
Each channel of the BLUETUBE DP includes a -20dB pad, polarity reverse, 80Hz filter, and
+48v phantom power. Front panel controls include solid state GAIN control and switchable
on/off TUBE DRIVE. When the TUBE DRIVE is clicked off, the tube preamplifier stage is
bypassed delivering ultra-quiet and transparent preamplification. The front panel also
includes illuminated analog VU meters for each channel for easy visual monitoring.
The BLUETUBE DP's inputs are professional-quality Neutrik Combo connectors for inputting
both XLR and 1/4" TS sources. Outputs include both XLR and TS jacks allowing for ultimate
flexibility.
The PreSonus BLUETUBE Dual Path is great for enhancing all types of microphones including
condensors, dynamics and ribbons, as well as instruments including keyboards, acoustic and
electric guitars and bass. The BLUETUBE DP is the perfect front-end preamplifier for any
project studio delivering a wide range of sounds and tonality all at an amazingly affordable
price.
