ART (Applied Research and Technology) is a pro audio manufacturer founded in Rochester, New York in 1984 by a team of engineers who previously worked at MXR. The company's early products were rackmount digital reverbs, and it has since grown into a full-line maker of vacuum tube preamplifiers, signal processors, mixers, power amps, DIs, headphone amps, and studio accessories aimed at musicians and home-studio owners.
ART is best known for the Tube MP, a compact, affordable tube microphone preamp first released in 1995 that helped bring tube mic preamp sound out of high-budget studios and into project studios. The Tube MP line (including the Tube MP Studio and Tube MP Project Series) remains the brand's signature product, alongside channel strips like the Pro Channel II, the TPS II tube preamp system, and a range of graphic EQs, compressors, and direct boxes.
ART joined the Yorkville Sound family in 1999, with product development based outside Toronto, Canada, in collaboration with a team in upstate New York. The brand's reputation is built around offering tube-driven recording and live-sound tools at accessible price points.
ART has 130 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Effects Processors, Preamps, and Mixers. Their gear is featured by 62 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Metal. Notable users include Andreas Kisser, NIVIRO, and Ivan Julian. Most ART products sit on the budget-friendly end of the spectrum.
