ARX is proud to introduce the e-pre – the ultimate microphone pre-amp for
hard disk recording, designed by audio professionals, not computer engineers.
The all-new e-pre is so much a part of your system that it fits right into a spare
5?” slot in your computer case! It’s the perfect tool for all your day-to-day
recording requirements. No equipment racks to plug in, no masses of cabling to
connect – the e-pre is ready and waiting when you need it.
The e-pre is a studio quality microphone pre-amp using the same internal components
as high end mixing consoles, built into a compact, computer friendly package.
It has controls for:
Input Gain – fully variable from 10dB through to 60dB to suit all types of microphones,
plus switchable 48 V Phantom Power to enable condenser microphones to deliver
their best.
A Contour control for EQ sweetening, providing fast, easy access to a whole range
of useful EQ curves
Output level control – fully variable to match the e-pre’s output to the input of the sound
card. From -10dB consumer cards through to +4dB for professional sound cards, the
e-pre can handle it.
Multiple output connectors match up with any kind of sound card, including mini jacks,
standard jack, RCA (phono) plugs, and even a connector to link to the internal CD ROM
audio input of your sound card (if fitted).
We’ve even fitted a 12 VDC input connector on the rear to enable the e-pre to run from an
external power supply if required (eg for use with notebook computers or stand-alone use).

Any way you look at it, the e-pre by ARX is the total professional microphone pre-amp for
all your hard disk recording needs

e-pre Benefits
Professional Balanced XLR mic input
True 48v phantom power
Runs into the Line input of ANY sound card – uses the card you’ve already paid for
High headroom = clean recordings
Smart EQ
Compatible with non-computer audio equipment

PreSonusʼ popular Class A XMAX preamps are widely lauded for their clarity and transparency. Our tube preamps are beloved for their warm, smooth sound. With the Blue Tube DP V2 dual-path mic/instrument preamp, you get both types of high-quality sound in one unit.

Now weʼve improved on the classic unit with the BlueTube DP V2. The solid-state path now feeds PreSonusʼ top-of-the-line Class A XMAX™ mic preamplifier with 80 dB of variable gain—an upgrade from the original BlueTube DPʼs solid-state stage.

You still get all the secondary features you expect in a professional-grade preamp: 48V phantom power, an 80 Hz high-pass filter, -20 dB pad to control hot input signals, and a polarity-reverse switch. Each channel has an illuminated VU meter so you can visually monitor your input levels.

A Tube Drive control provides a wide range of sounds: when itʼs clicked off, youʼre using the solid-state preamp for quiet, transparent amplification; when itʼs engaged, your signals flow through the tube preamp, and you can achieve anything from gentle warmth to edgy distortion.

    2 input channels, each with:
        High-headroom Class A XMAX™ mic preamplifier with 80 dB gain range
        12AX7 vacuum tube gain stage
        Tube Drive tube-saturation control
        48V phantom power
        80 Hz high-pass filter
        -20 dB pad to reduce hot input levels
        Polarity-reverse switch
        Illuminated analog VU input-level meter

    Input/Output
        2 balanced combo mic/unbalanced instrument inputs
        2 balanced XLR main (L/R) line outputs
        2 unbalanced ¼” main (L/R) line outputs

    Physical
        Compact 1/2U chassis
        External 12 VDC, 1A power supply

Vacuum Tube Mic Preamp. 12AX7 Vacuum Tube. +48V Phantom Power, 20dB Pad. This premium tube mic/line preamp features an integrated limiter for studio, live and hard disk recording applications. It features a carefully-selected 12AX7 vacuum tube with Behringer's UTC technology for exceptional warmth and lowest noise. Using the MIC100 is a great way to eliminate the "dull" sound of standard digital recorders & sound cards. Also, it perfectly complements studio-grade condenser mics. When used as a high-end DI-box, it ensures outstanding signal integrity. Features also include a phase reverse switch, +48 V phantom power, a 20 dB pad, and balanced I/O. The heart of the Tube Untragain is an extremely low-noise microphone preamp circuitry that uses discrete components and produces a highly trans-parent sound. In combination with Behringer's tube technology, the operational amplifiers 4580 and a sophisticated circuit topology, the Tube Untragain yields excellent noise and distortion properties. The innovative UTC circuitry that has been developed by our engineering team offers an abundance of sound-shaping possibilities. Absolute musicality was Behringer's major goal when we designed the Tube Untragain. The result is a device that, thanks to our tube circuitry, lends an incredible punch to percussion instruments. On the other hand, instruments that are rich in upper harmonics will receive more transparency. The sound will be warm, detailed and brilliant.

Flexible Independent D.I. Channel ISA One is ideal for both engineers and demanding performers alike, featuring independent gain control, an output for routing to an amp, an independent XLR output on the rear and routing to the optional ADC. Switchable Impedance Choose one of four carefully selected input impedances, including the original ISA 110 setting, to suit any microphone. Optional Stereo 192kHz ADC This optional card embodies cutting-edge conversion technology, incorporating Focusrite analogue circuitry to deliver the best A-D performance in its class (Dynamic range of 119dB). Rugged Custom Flight Case Built to protect your ISA One from the rigors of the road. Rugged plywood construction with a solid polypropylene exterior and reinforced corners. Headphone Output with Volume Control ISA One can feed either a sum of the two inputs to the headphones output, or an external stereo cue mix (such as a stereo mix feed from an interface) via two TRS Jack inputs on the rear of the unit. Dedicated Insert Point Allows you to place extra processing between the pre-amplifi er or D.I. and the optional converter, such as an EQ or compressor. Specifications Analogue Channel Inputs

Meters
Moving Coil (MC) Meter factory calibrated to 0VU = +4dBu with 1kHz sinewave. With the VU Cal button pressed the meter can be adjusted on the rear panel to allow 0VU to equal +10dBu to +26dBu with the centre detent being equal to +22dBu.
Peak LED Meters Calibrated in the detent position for 0dBFS = +22dBu, calibration is adjustable on the rear panel to allow 0dBFS to equal +10dBu to +26dBu
Routing for MC and Peak1 meter is after the HPF, pre insert send or switched post insert return. Peak2 is always pre ADC channel 2, which can be fed by external input or Instrument input.
