DESCRIPTION:
It may only cost you $60 (US Retail_ but the simple ART Tube MP Project Series microphone preamp delivers just about every feature you'd need from a mic pre, including an impressive sound and build quality.

Owen's been surveying the three iterations of the Tube MP line, including the Studio V3 and the original Tube MP. The Tube MP Project Series, however, is his fave of the bunch, offering just the right combination of practical functionality — impedance switching, usable soft-limiter, locking input XLR jack, etc. — and price. Plus you can stack 'em like Legos.
