could this be used to power an acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass etc on stage in a live setting. what power conditioner do you recommend on a budget. would this run on a 9v/5v power bank?
Thank you for the review. The conditioner is a great tip! I bought mine for 35$ used but it came with a 12v dc power supply. The meter lit up but not the tube. Make sure that everyone is aware that it needs 9VAC power (not 9vdc pedal supply) So i don't think that you can power it with a battery.
Hi bro, can you suggest setting on the art tube mp equivalent to what the cloud lifter does? because I have an art mpa2 and the sm7b but apparently I'm missing 20 db of gain so I'm planning on using the art tube mp in the chain. for example: sm7b to the art tube mp (instead of a cloud lifter ) then to the art mpa2. thanks !
I’m bought one back when they had the vu meter for $30. It’s the best unit you can get in this range. Must have for recording. If you don’t have any mic preamps for recording this is a great option. My tube hasn’t needed replacement in 8 with light usage.
How tf do you connect this to a focusrite solo like what cables are needed just purchased one but hella confused as to how to connect this thing without blowing up the pres in my focusrite
For podcasts/voice over yeah sure maybe.. But for Music, It's how you use what you have.. give me the most expensive mic/gear and john mayer the cheapest one, he'd still sound 100000x better.
www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/M8x2--furman-m-8x2-power-conditioner That's the one I use. Take a look and read the description they do a good job explaining why it's important you're using one
Interesting. I’m gonna take a look at my model when I get home and see if I get the same thing. Could possibly be the copy you’ve gotten. From what I remember, mine hasn’t had any issues and sounds great
@@UndergroundSoundProductions thank you man. If I hit the +20 even when I lower the input gain you can definitely hear it. I saw other people complain about the same issue
I know this is not actually in the video but I saw it in other ones which desk do you use? I would really like to get something like that to put my gear under and we have the same monitor so it seems perfect.
Hey man I’ve watching a bunch of your vids and I’m this video your shure sounds the best any tips or anyway we could talk an maybe you can help me out to make my shure sm7b sounds the best. I have the cloudlifter and the scarlet solo 2nd gen. Lmk what you think :) thanks
they sell on ebay used for $20 or even less all the time. You can buy one of these brand new but that'll run you like $50. Either way, not a bad price for a preamp with a ton of gain and a very low EIN
Hey man, hope you're doing well, I have the shure sm7b and I've paired it up with the cloud lifter and the scarlet solo and I would like to ask you what gain do you think would be ideal for the mic and what distance should I keep from it to get that nice sound
This is all experimental. But you would want your vox coming in at around -18 for good heard room. You can always turn it up in the mix. Ball a first and stick your thumb and pinky out.... place your thumb on your lips and your pinky in your pop filter. That’s a good starting distance to record. Adjust from there
What if I were to plug it into a power strip that’s plugged into an extension cord that is plugged into the wall? Will I still run into that static issue?
I was actually wondering the same as well and according to the furman power conditioner I use, you may still run into static issues with a power strip since it’s not actually filtering the electricity like the furman for example would. Here’s a link to the one I use and read all the descriptions on it. They do a great job covering why it’s important to have one www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/M8x2--furman-m-8x2-power-conditioner
@@UndergroundSoundProductions What about using an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)? Do you think there is sufficient power filtering/conditioning in one of those units? BTW, I have two of these in the studio and really sound great...except for the buzzing/humming. They have been collecting dust for years now because of this issue. Seems like a power conditioner might be a way to bring them back into the mix, so to speak.
This $109 preamp is better then you think?
Yeah not sure where he got $20 lmao but good pre amp nonetheless
Gotta be click bait
Where did you see this for $20?
Wtf? I just paid 80 for a used one. Dang!😢
I don't know much about a 'Power Condtioner',I am learning a lot from your channel thanks young man!
Thank you!
how do you remove your plosives from the shure sm7b?

Got mine used for 30 it comes in next week gonna pair it with my aston spirit and 6au6 vaccum tube replacement upgrade
Hey man, are there any budget power conditioners that you'd recommend to buy with this thing? The decent ones all seem to be hundreds of dollars.

Bro, I just buyed a u87 lol f*** the 103 the Diference is abysmal, the mic is so clear and smooth, believe me the mic is the most important thing
naa i dont think so dude...
For podcasts/voice over yeah sure maybe.. But for Music, It's how you use what you have.. give me the most expensive mic/gear and john mayer the cheapest one, he'd still sound 100000x better.
Bro.. My studio is not amateur.. give it a try, and you Will see the diference
I have a 103 too, there is a big difference in the way the u87 handles dynamics
Hi thanks for your review, what's your power conditioner model, I don't saw it in the description
It’s a Furman M-8x2 power conditioner
can someone show me how to set it up?
How do you feel about Vanguard audio mics?
I've never used them
Ty are you still posting on Patreon?
Bro!! First of all, I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. They are so helpful. Secondly, Can you please do a review on the “ART tube MP/C”. 🇿🇦
What's a power conditioner? U mean like a surge protector?

That's the one I use. Take a look and read the description they do a good job explaining why it's important you're using one
@@UndergroundSoundProductions thnak you so much
I got one Furman 8x2 power conditioner it didn't really fix the noise . I hear the noise when I press the +20 gain
Interesting. I’m gonna take a look at my model when I get home and see if I get the same thing. Could possibly be the copy you’ve gotten. From what I remember, mine hasn’t had any issues and sounds great
@@UndergroundSoundProductions thank you man. If I hit the +20 even when I lower the input gain you can definitely hear it. I saw other people complain about the same issue
This is 120 dollars on Amazon… comparing it to dbx vs warm audio
I know this is not actually in the video but I saw it in other ones which desk do you use? I would really like to get something like that to put my gear under and we have the same monitor so it seems perfect.
I ordered one two days ago. Hopefully it'll arrive today
Enjoy man it’s a great piece. Still a great value proposition at the $50 price tag. Cant go wrong with it!
@@UndergroundSoundProductions thanks to you man I've been binge watching a lot of your videos lately and this video made me order one
That’s awesome man I’m glad I could help
Hey man I’ve watching a bunch of your vids and I’m this video your shure sounds the best any tips or anyway we could talk an maybe you can help me out to make my shure sm7b sounds the best. I have the cloudlifter and the scarlet solo 2nd gen. Lmk what you think :) thanks
This $50 dollar preamp is better than you think.
Very nice review my friend , totally enjoyed it. Cheers!
Thanks man!
This 20$ costs 49.99$ 😆
So where is this $20 preamp?
they sell on ebay used for $20 or even less all the time. You can buy one of these brand new but that'll run you like $50. Either way, not a bad price for a preamp with a ton of gain and a very low EIN
I found one for 20 at a local music store and picked it up just because. Gotta say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality.
thank you for the power conditioner tip. hum was driving me nuts
$20??? I just paid $82 on ebay used lol. Woww
20$?
TH is a power conditioner
THD at 0.1 % make macintosh labs cry
Practicing and singing in key can make that $20 pre sound like a $50 pre, true story, lol

Why are you saying it's 20?!
Used for 20

I just ordered the Furman power conditioner. I'll see if it'll eliminate the noise. The amp gets noisy when I increase the output gain
Bruh

@@NJP76 the art mp was too noisy even after I got the power conditioner. It's the art's fault. I had to return mine.
TH-camrs all say things are 20 bucks.
Oops!!! 🤔🤐
this is not no 20 bucks wtf lol . instant dislike
Is this guy on drugs or something?
Relax dude its just a cheap preamp. No need to get yourself worked up over it. 😂
