ART (Applied Research and Technology) is an American brand with a 40-year history of creating practical and affordable solutions for professional recording, live sound, and audio installations. Founded by engineers from the legendary MXR pedal company, ART focuses on producing reliable, no-nonsense hardware that simply gets the job done right.

Our store features the top ART tools for both project and commercial studios.

Core ART product categories and series:

  • Legendary Tube Preamps (Tube MP Series): A true industry favorite and the world's most popular external microphone preamp. It made that coveted warm tube sound accessible to millions of bedroom studios on a budget.

  • Studio Processors (Compressors, EQs, Pro Channel): Rugged analog gear for dynamic and frequency processing that helps you shape a tight, professional mix right during tracking.

  • Utility & Routing Solutions (DI Boxes, Splitters, ARTcessories): Small but essential lifesavers for stage and studio applications that solve ground loops, signal matching, and audio routing issues.

By choosing ART, you invest in time-tested tools built by musicians for musicians. We offer only genuine products with full official warranty and support. Order your ART gear today and upgrade your audio production setup.

Behind every great audio company, there’s usually a tightly-knit group of gearheads, and ART (Applied Research and Technology) is the textbook definition of that. Back in 1984 in Rochester, New York, five brilliant engineers who used to build legendary pedals together at MXR decided to start their own journey. They didn't care about making overhyped, overpriced gear filled with useless bells and whistles for high-budget commercial spaces. Instead, they agreed on a clear vision from day one: to produce good, solid, reliable audio solutions that are affordable, easy to use, and built to stand the test of time. While they had a wild aesthetic phase in the mid-90s with the notorious "pink years" of the SGX2000, their core principles stayed rock-solid — values that eventually landed them a perfect home within the Canadian Yorkville Sound family.

The brand's ultimate crowning achievement arrived in 1995 with the release of a tiny, unassuming device called the Tube MP. Before its launch, that lush, warm tube mic preamp sound was locked away in corporate multi-million dollar tracking rooms. ART completely broke down those walls, putting that classic analog saturation into a box any bedroom musician could afford. The result was massive: a prestigious TEC Award nomination in 1996 and the undisputed title of the world's most popular external microphone preamp, which is still rolling off the assembly line today.

The company culture at ART centers around a beautifully simple concept: musicians helping musicians. Almost everybody involved with the brand is a player or a live sound engineer. That's precisely why their DI boxes don't suck the life out of your low-end, their signature compressors squash signals smoothly and musically, and their compact ARTcessories utilities can be found in the gig bags of touring crews worldwide. If you are chasing an honest, time-tested analog vibe that solves real studio routing and tracking problems without draining your bank account — ART is your go-to brand. It's rugged, dependable gear that simply works, night after night.
