ART Pro Channel Valve Mic Pre & Compressor

The ART Pro Channel combines the world-renowned ART Pro MPA, Pro VLA, and Tube EQ into a single product, resulting in the world’s best-sounding and most affordable professional recording channel.

The ART Pro Channel features many exciting design enhancements to ART’s pro and home studio staples, including the addition of a tube circuit to the compressor module.

The Pro Channel allows you to select between ART’s award winning optical/tube compressor or the coveted tube circuit (a design made popular by the sound of the old broadcast limiters – now costing thousands of dollars).

The tube circuit is fast, fat and a bit aggressive, and is guaranteed to become a legend among compressors as has the Pro VLA.

The four-band parametric equalizer has selectable Q for the two sweepable mid-bands. As with all design elements of the Pro Channel, these Q options were fine-tuned by some of the industry’s top studio and live-sound engineers.

The ART Pro Channel defines the term “channel strip.” The Pro Channel is an impressive package from the world-wide leaders in tube dynamics signal-processing gear.
