Presonus Bluetube Dp V2 Preamp

PreSonus BlueTube DP V2 Dual-Path Preamp: Tube Warmth or Solid-State Transparency, Per Channel

Choose the character of every take. The BlueTube DP V2 gives you two mic and instrument preamps, each with a solid-state path and a 12AX7 tube path you can blend.

Built for Recordings That Sound Too Clean or Too Cold

Digital chains can make vocals, guitars and bass sound accurate but flat. Many engineers reach for tube colour, yet full tube preamps are expensive, large and single-purpose. The BlueTube DP V2 places tube warmth and clean gain in one compact unit, so you can decide track by track how much saturation a source deserves.

What It Is

The PreSonus BlueTube DP V2 is a two-channel microphone and instrument preamplifier in a half-rack format. Each channel has a Class A solid-state stage and a 12AX7 tube stage, with a dedicated tube drive control. Combo inputs accept balanced XLR microphones and unbalanced quarter inch instruments, and outputs are available on both XLR and quarter inch connectors.

Key Features

• Dual Path design: switch between a transparent solid-state sound and a warm tube sound, or blend the two.
• 12AX7 tube stage: runs at higher voltages than typical in its class for a fuller, more dynamic tube response.
• Class A XMAX solid-state preamp: up to 80dB of variable gain for quiet ribbon and dynamic microphones.
• Independent channel controls: tube drive, high-pass filter, 48V phantom power, -20dB pad and polarity reverse on each channel.
• Backlit VU meter: monitor levels at a glance.
• XLR and quarter inch outputs: connect easily to interfaces, consoles and amps.

Why PreSonus BlueTube DP V2 Dual-Path Preamp Stands Out

Few preamps let you audition both clean and tube sound without swapping hardware. The solid-state path measures better than 0.005 percent THD plus noise, while the tube path can add anywhere from subtle colour to heavy saturation. That range makes one unit useful on vocals, bass, drums and electric guitar.

Perfect For

• Adding tube warmth to vocals and guitars
• Recording DI bass and synths with character
• Upgrading the preamps of a small interface

Best Suited For

Home studio owners, producers and live engineers who want analogue character without the size or cost of separate boutique preamps. It suits those who already have converters and want better front-end quality.
