Alesis MicTube Duo adds a warm, vintage tone to any pair of mics or instruments whether in the studio or on stage. Ideal for any recording or live setup, the Mic Tube-Duo by Alesis features an easy-to-use control layout and one of the most classic sounding, lowest-noise vacuum tubes: the legendary 12AX7. Aside from the tube, the Mic Tube Duo features a minimized circuit path, so it preserves the essence of the signal coming from the microphone faithfully.
Mic-Tube raises the level of any mic up to line level, adding as much or as little of the tube’s signature sound as you like. You’ll find a -20 dB pad switch for mics with hotter outputs or louder sound sources. Phase reverse switches help you optimize multi-mic setups, and 80 Hz high-pass filters help cut bass, handling, and wind noise. And of course, the MicTube Duo provides +48 volt phantom power for condenser microphones.
In additional to standard 3-pin XLR jacks for microphones, the MicTube Duo also gives you 1/4", high-impedance DI jacks for plugging in guitars and basses. Separate Gain and Drive (“vintage”) controls allow you to dial in the perfect blend of level and tone, and a LED meter trees are perfect for keeping an eye on levels. Professional XLR and 1/4" outputs complete the professional package.
