 ¼” OUTPUT JACK 
The  ¼”  Output  jack  is  unbalanced  and  should  be  used  for  sending 
signals to amps, processors, or other unbalanced configurations. 
Both  balanced  and  unbalanced  output  connections  may  be  used 
simultaneously.  This  is  particularly  useful  when  using  the  Tube  MP 
Studio as a direct box for instruments or line level signals. Make sure 
that  both  pieces  of  equipment  connected  to  the  Tube  MP  Studio’s 
outputs are connected to the same earth ground, beforehand, to avoid 
electrical shock. 
If you experience a grounding hum when using both output connectors 
(one to a console, one to an instrument amp) simultaneously, a ground 
loop  may  be  the  problem.  To  remedy  this  problem,  disconnect  the 
ground  wire  (pin  1)  from  the  XLR  cable  plugged  into  the  Tube  MP 
Studio’s  output.  This  interrupts  the  ground  path  and  therefore  breaks 
the loop. 
POWER JACK 
An external  9 Volt  AC  adapter  powers  the  Tube  MP  Studio.  Plug  the 
adapter into the PWR jack and then into a power outlet. Only use the 
adapter  that  came  with  the  Tube  MP  Studio.  If  the  adapter  ever 
becomes  damaged,  immediately  discontinue  use.  They  can  be 
purchased locally or directly from ART. Just make sure that you specify 
9 Volt AC (not DC), at 800 ma.
