Art Pro Audio VoiceChannel Tube Channel Strip with Digital Connectivity

If you're seeking superior audio performance for recording, broadcasting, or high-profile live applications, look no further than the ART VoiceChannel Tube Channel Strip with Digital Connectivity. This professional-grade unit combines a Class-A tube mic preamp, comprehensive dynamics control, a De-esser, expander, and semi-parametric EQ into a single, powerful channel strip.

The VoiceChannel's preamp section features a Class-A tube design with variable input impedance and selectable tube plate voltage, making it one of the most versatile high-performance microphone preamplifiers in its class. The 12AX7A vacuum tube used in the circuit delivers controlled, 'musical sounding' overload characteristics, adding warmth and presence while maintaining a wide dynamic range and unsurpassed sonic detail and clarity.

The variable input impedance optimizes the input for a broad range of microphone sources, allowing you to dramatically alter the performance and character of any modern or vintage condenser, ribbon, or dynamic microphone. The control is infinitely variable, providing fine-tuned control and the ability to match the preamp to the microphone's ideal sweet spot.

The selectable tube voltage function offers a range of options, from high plate voltage for maximum output and low noise and distortion, to lower plate voltage for increased warmth and tube character.

The VoiceChannel also offers full dynamic control with its integrated, fully variable Compressor / De-Esser / Expander section. Each function is easily adjustable from the front panel, providing complete control over the compressor's threshold, ratio, attack, and release, as well as the de-esser frequency & level and expander/gate threshold.

The semi-parametric EQ offers wide tune-ability and tone control. For added versatility, the EQ can be patched before or after the dynamics processor with a simple button touch on the front panel - no re-patching required. Separate insert jacks on the back panel provide quick, quiet in-line connectivity to external signal processing gear immediately after the Mic preamp in the signal path.

The ART VoiceChannel also features digital connectivity and a USB output, allowing it to connect directly to virtually any recording platform, analog or digital console. Choose from a range of outputs including balanced analog out, 44.1 KHz to 192 KHz AES/EBU, S/PDIF, or ADAT digital output, or connect directly to any computer or laptop via USB. All analog and digital outputs provide comprehensive metering for a detailed indication of audio levels.

In summary, the ART VoiceChannel Tube Channel Strip with Digital Connectivity is a high-quality, professional, and durable solution for all your audio recording needs.
