ART Pro-VLA II 2-Channel Leveling Amplifier/Compressor

ART Pro-VLA II

 is a tube driven Vactrol-based compressor/leveling amplifier with 2-channel designed for tracking, mixing, mastering, live sound, or broadcast situations. It features a mastering-quality audio signal path and a tube-based gain stage.

By making use of an opto-electronic design, (as opposed to a more typical VCA driven level detection circuit) the Pro-VLA II allows more compression to be added to an audio source with a more natural, musical sounding output and virtually transparent dynamic leveling. This VCA-less design coupled with a 12AT7 vacuum tube in the gain stage makes the Pro-VLA II an prefect dynamic control device!

Vactrol

This unit utilizes optical electronics (a device known as a Vactrol), coupled with a 12AT7 vacuum tube gain stage for superior musical performance. Unlike typical compressors which use VCAs to control level detection, ART tube compressors are very musical, expressive and natural-sounding.
