Two channels of tube-warm mic and instrument preamp – and a DI box for your gig bag. The PreSonus BlueTube DP V2 is a 2-channel mic / instrument preamp. Each channel has a clean XMAX Class A preamp followed by a 12AX7 tube stage – run your vocal and guitar straight to the PA, no guitar amp needed.
Why customers choose it
- Clean or warm: with Tube Drive off you get the quiet, transparent XMAX solid-state preamp; turn it on for anything from gentle warmth to edgy distortion.
- Voice and guitar together: two independent channels with combo mic / instrument inputs – ideal for singer-songwriters.
- Works as a DI: use it as a direct box for guitar and bass into a mixer or PA.
- Gig-ready tools: 48 V phantom power, 80 Hz high-pass filter, -20 dB pad, polarity reverse and a backlit VU meter.
- Flexible outputs: balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4-inch line outputs on each channel.
- Small and tough: rugged half-rack (1/2U) case fits in a gig bag or a rack tray.
Who it is for
Singer-songwriters and acoustic performers, guitarists and bassists who go direct to the PA, home studios adding tube colour before the audio interface, and churches and small venues.
