ART MPA Gold

Two channel class-A tube microphone preamp.

Light use.

I've used this a few times to record, but am looking to sell as I am upgrading gear. The original right channel input XLR was broken from the factory, but has been repaired using a plug supplied by ART.

This is the US model designed for 110V use and has a US style 3-pin plug.
Voltage converters are available from Jaycar, or cheaper ones from websites like www.110220volts.com or www.voltageconverters.com for under US$20 plus shipping

Local pickup available.

I am also sell an ART VLA in similar condition. These units go quite well together, especially using the DI for keyboards.

After an enquiry I thought I'd hunt for the cheapest suitable power converter: there are 100W travel converters with 3pin outputs from Hong Kong on Ebay for under $20 shipped.
