So when we decided to upgrade our popular TubePre V2, we focused on improving an already high-quality sound—without jacking up the price. Like the original TubePre, the new version is a fully professional tube preamp, with a dual-servo (no capacitors) gain stage that lets you boost the program signal to smoking hot levels without significantly increasing the background noise. Discrete components and high-voltage operation offer dynamic range and detail not found in other single-channel tube preamps in its class.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXmax Preamplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBut the TubePre V2 provides an even wider palette of sound options, and a much more focused tube saturation, than the original TubePre. It has been upgraded to employ PreSonus’ popular XMAX™ Class A solid-state preamp, which is followed in the signal path by a 12AX7 vacuum-tube stage. Twist the TubePre V2 Drive saturation control to add the “color” that only a hand-selected 12AX7 vacuum tube can deliver — from gentle warmth to total fuzz. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXMAX™ Class A Preamplifiers to Go\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAt PreSonus, we know that the mic preamplifier is a key component in the sonic quality of a recording. Many other companies that offer mobile recording interfaces add the cheapest possible microphone preamplifier as an afterthought. In contrast, the FireStudio Mobile includes custom-designed, high-voltage, discrete, XMAX Class A microphone preamplifiers that are suitable for use with all types of microphones.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe job of a microphone preamplifier in an audio interface is to boost a microphone-level signal to line level before conversion to the digital domain. A good preamp boosts the level to almost 400 times that of the original signal, making the preamp one of the most important stages in an interface. A cheap, off-the-shelf, op-amp-type mic preamp delivers thin, noisy, harsh results. But with XMAX preamps, the sonic quality is limited only by what microphone you plug into it.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nXMAX preamplifiers are built with three key elements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli style=\"color: #000080;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000080;\"\u003eHigh Voltage. The XMAX preamplifier runs on power rails of 30V. Most off-the-shelf, op-amp-based designs run on power rails of 10V to 18V.

It was first released for public sale in 1947 — and hasn’t changed design since.Part electronic fabrication, part glass-blowing, and part voodoo, tube manufacturing is nearly a lost art — only four major factories in the world still produce the 12AX7! All 12AX7 vacuum tubes are not created equal, so the tubes we use in the TubePre V2 are hand-selected and carefully tested. The tube in the TubePre V2 was hand-selected and carefully tested for electrical conformity and freedom from microphonics. (Microphonics occur when the charged elements in a vacuum tube vibrate, changing the distance between the elements. This causes charges to flows in and out of the tube, as they do in a condenser microphone, creating electrical noise and, potentially, feedback.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile and Feature-Rich\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nHoused in a rugged case, the TubePre V2 rear panel sports separate unbalanced, ¼” instrument and balanced, XLR mic inputs and unbalanced ¼” and balanced XLR line outputs.

Rockville pays an inspection company to\r\noversee the manufacturing of the product to ensure that we provide a\r\n100% Oxygen Free Copper Cable (OFC). Our OFC cables are less prone to\r\noxidation, and will provide maximum signal transfer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000080;\"\u003eThe\r\nother important factor of a cable is the shielding. Most of the good\r\nbrands on the market have about 85% shielding coverage, so we decided to\r\ntake our shielding a step further. Rockville cables are shielded with a\r\ntight copper mesh, covering 90% of the cable! The high percentage of\r\ncoverage increases the ability to absorb the Electromagnetic\r\nInterference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)\r\nthat suppresses signal and degrades the performance of equipment.\r\nRockville Cable’s copper shielding provides great flexibility, maintains\r\na durable structural integrity, while decreasing signal interference\r\nensuring enhanced signal clarity with every use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eRockville RCXFM6P-B Black 6 Foot Nickel Plated, Female to Male REAN XLR Microphone Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eXLR Connectors with Internal Strain Relief for Rugged Reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\t100% Copper Conductors for Enhanced Signal Clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e90% OFC Spiral Shield for Effective EMI and RFI Rejection and  Flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eLength: 6 Ft\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eColor: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid; padding-top: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eAbout Rockville Quality Control Procedures:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000080;\"\u003eThe\r\nRockville brand stands for Quality, Innovation and Value. All Rockville\r\nproducts go through the most rigorous quality control standards in the\r\nindustry. Products go through months of extensive testing before they\r\nreach your hands. All user functions are tested and all internal\r\ncomponents are tested for quality. Rockville makes products that are\r\nvirtually un-breakable! Rockville is one of the only brands in its class\r\nto test every concept model for weeks or months before starting\r\nproduction. Once production begins, Rockville sends product engineers to\r\ntheir factory to quality control every line of production. During\r\nproduction every product is tested and on top of that Rockville goes the\r\nextra mile and has their high level product engineers do an additional\r\nquality control. They test a certain percentage of all products from the\r\nproduction line a second time to ensure that the quality meets their\r\nvigorous standards, and to make sure that there is never a batch of\r\nproducts with even a slight problem. All Rockville \tmonitors are backed\r\nwith a full one year warranty, though it is unlikely that you will need\r\nto use it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"telerik_paste_container\" style=\"border-width: 0px; position: absolute; overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PRESONUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47704706154797,"sku":"TUBEPRE V2+(2) RCXFM6P-B","price":172.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/0805\/3037\/products\/1d032896-a7ed-42eb-a503-94bddc8e6349.jpg?v=1702571349","url":"https:\/\/audiosavings.com\/products\/presonus-tubepre-v2-2-rcxfm6p-b","provider":"Audio Savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
