## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this preamp be used safely with a passive ribbon microphone?**
A: It should work fine as long as you leave the 48V Phantom off.  If you forget, and send phantom power to your ribbon it will never work again.  My Tascam Port-a-Studio always defaults to "phantom off" when powered down (or up) and requires 2 keystrokes to turn it on "are you SURE?"  This precaution prevents sending phantom to any input other than a condenser mic, which only works with 48V DC.

**Q: Does this device provide a both left and right output for headphones (mono, but to both sides of the head phone)?  thanks**
A: There is no headphone output on this unit.
This is a preamp. It is used before the input on a mixer channel.

**Q: I'm looking for a way to boost the sound volume and quality coming from a blue spark mic for voice-over work. is this what i need?**
A: I'm assuming you have the regular Spark, not the digital (USB) version.  I have not used the ART for that application, but I find the unit to be a versatile free-standing single channel pre-amp.  It's controls allow setting of gain and output, and it will supply phantom power to the mic.  Very good bang for the buck, and highly portable.

**Q: I want to use this with a ribbon mic sans phantom. Aim is natural sound of my acoustic instrument. How transparent is the neutral setting?**
A: A ribbon mic not only does not need phantom power. accidentally switching phantom on may destroy the mic.  I like ribbons also.  The ART is a great bargain and sounds good generally, but it is not a professional unit, and you get what you pay for.  I bought mine because I wanted a "tube flavor" on some tracks.  It does not excel at this.  But it is a useful unit in other ways, so I kept mine.  It is pretty neutral for a tube device, maybe a tad noisier because of the valves.
