Your All-In-One Processing Powerhouse!
It doesn't get much more professional - or more powerful - than the Pro Channel, a stunning microphone preamp with unbelieveable features. If you took the popular Pro MPA, Pro VLA, and Tube EQ processors and rolled them into one impressive unit, you'd have something almost as good as the Pro Channel. The Pro Channel's "secret weapon" is the new Variable Mu circuit in the compressor. You can choose between the optical/tube compressor or the Variable Mu circuit, each offering a distinctive sonic flavor, and giving you added flexibility. The 4-band Parametric Equalizer gives you selectable Q for the two sweepable mid-bands. The Pro Channel's remarkable combination of these three essential studio tools is accomplished without skimping on the quality of the originals. You get all the benefits of the Pro MPA preamp, and the Pro VLA tube compressor, and the Tube EQ, not abridged versions. And with the extra enhancements the Pro Channel brings to the mix, the result is a dependable, powerful processor that you can trust to capture the performance you've been looking for, in the studio or live. Many artists trust Pro Channel to handle their important processing applications. Find out why.

• Selectable VU Metering (mic pre out, compressor out, or Main Out) Features
• Tube Character and Gain Reduction LED Arrays

 good, solid sound from an affordable channel strip...  
by Mike McCarthy from Philadelphia, PA, June 09, 2007
Music Background:  recording hobbyist/pro musician


“I bought this channel strip about a month ago... it's the first piece of outboard gear that I've bought, and I must say, it sounds really good. I intern at a local studio, and we have a couple Avalon 737's, a UA 6176, plus an API "Lunchbox"... so those are really what I'm comparing the Pro Channel against.

I really wanted an affordable, tube-based pre for my Pro Tools M-Powered...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "With limited space and budget for my home studio, I needed a great-sounding unit that could pull triple-duty before hitting my A/D converter. ART's Pro Channel was everything I could ask for. At a remarkably low price, it combines a great mic pre, compressor, and EQ into a really nice-sounding box. The tube-based pre is low-noise, and the modular signal chain is fully configurable. I especially like the compressor's flexibility and ability to be gentle when I want it to be. That alone has made a huge improvement in the sound quality I'm getting into my DAW. I love the Pro Channel, and think it's by far the best bang for your buck in this price range."
