Obtain that crisp preamp sound - no matter your budget. The attractively priced ART TransX offers professional preamplification regardless of how big your studio is. The engineers over at ART have worked tirelessly to create a preamp that produces a full and vibrant sound that even the most discerning audio engineers will cherish. This is a new standard for home studio preamplification.

Huge range of features

There are loads of great features that set the ART TransX. Whether it's the Jensen input transformers that help prevent RF interference or the low noise, low THD discrete audio path that helps set the sound quality apart. There are many technical tricks inside the TransX. If you want to own a preamp that can seemingly do it all - from the phase reversal switch to the ground lift function on each channel's outputs.
