ART Releases Auto-Tune Pre – Single Channel Tube Preamp + Antares Auto-Tune

ART (Applied Research and Technology) has been in the business of quality audio gear at an affordable price point since 1987. The Niagara Falls, NY-based company is known for their excellent vacuum tube gear and they continue to aim high with the release of the Auto-Tune Pre.

This is a single channel tube preamp that actually contains integrated Antares Auto-Tune processing. Users will have direct access to tuning presets to choose from for studio or live recording without the added weight of a computer.

The ART Auto-Tune Pre is available now for $289 MSRP but can be found for around $229 or less. Here are more details from ART:

The Auto-Tune Pre combines an ART tube preamp channel with integrated Antares Auto-Tune processing in a compact accessible package ideal for studio or stage. Now live artists can easily add high quality Antares pitch processing without the complexity and cost of an external computer and software.

Auto-Tune Pre EFX Section: The Antares Auto-Tune section of the product is designed to have a user interface and functionality that is similar to the Auto-Tune EFX Plug-In. Users can select the Key, Scale and EFX type. Individual notes can be toggled on or off using the key pads for more customization. Edits can be stored in one of five footswitch accessible presets. (Footswitch optional)

The ultra low noise discrete microphone preamp front end has an extremely flat and wide frequency response and handles a wide range of input signal levels with a minimum of coloration. High quality hand selected 12AX7A tube circuit adds warmth to the signal path.
