ART / Pro Channel III

ART/Pro Channel III is a 2U channel strip that is equipped with a vacuum tube mic preamp, compressor, and EQ, and is useful in a variety of situations.

■Tube mic preamp, compressor, equalizer

[Product overview]
This unit is a 2U channel strip. Equipped with a preamp, compressor, and EQ, it can be used in a variety of situations. The preamp has a wide range of sand characters, such as the impedance switch, the compressor selects voicing, the semi-parametric EQ, and the warm sound of real vacuum tubes.

■Pre-amp for microphones and musical instruments
Equipped with a preamplifier with a discrete FET transistor input circuit. It has a maximum gain of 60dB and is compatible with a variety of microphones. The low-cut filter (HPF) removes low-frequency noise, wind noise, and pop noise, making the sound clearer. Instruments can also be input, and it can also be used as a high-quality DI. If you input an instrument to the front, the rear input terminals will be disabled, so you can use it even if you connect a microphone or line device.

■ FET | OPTO/TUBE Compressor
For the compressor, you can set . The circuit can be FET or OPTO/TUBE. FET has a punch, and OPTO/TUBE has a warm sound unique to vacuum tubes. Additionally, the compressor signal path can be set before or after the EQ.

■Semi-parametric EQ
The EQ has 4 bands. LO-MID and HI-MID are parametric EQs. LOW can be adjusted by switching between <40Hz or 120Hz>. With this unit, you can reliably equalize the desired frequency.
