ART ProChannel II Channel Strip

ART ProChannel II Channel Strip Overview: The ART Pro Channel II uses second-generation discrete Class-A microphone preamp to provide clean quiet gain while maintaining incredible transparency A powerful dynamics processor subtly controls transients and noise of the most demanding sources.

The ART Pro Channel II's semi-parametric EQ offers wide tune-ability and can be patched before OR after the dynamics processor Separate rear-mounted insert points allow patching in external signal processing gear immediately after the Mic preamp and before the EQ and dynamics processor.

Both analog and LED meters provide a detailed indication of audio levels Features: Fully Featured discrete class "A" Tube Microphone Preamplifier 1/4" High Z input on the front panel Selectable plate Voltage Smooth musical sounding Optical Compressor Separate Attack and Release controls Auto/Manual Attack/Release switch Parametric EQ Large VU and LED meters Multi section clip monitor LED Selectable Source switches for VU signal monitoring of any section of the unit Two insert loops +4/-10 dB switch for optimal signal output levels Toroidal power transformer for low noise Specifications: Input Impedance Mic: 150 to 3.4K Ohms, variable Instrument : 2.5M Ohms Preamp Insert: 7.5K Ohms Output Impedance Balanced Output: 600 Ohms balanced Unbalanced Output: 300 Ohms Insert Outputs: 300 Ohms Frequency Response Analog In to Analog Out: 12 Hz to 100 KHz +0, -1 dB THD 1 KHz : < .015% typical 20 to 20 KHz: < .033% typical Equivalent Input Noise Mic/Line: -128 dBu, Input shorted, Max gain, “A” weighted Instrument: -109 dBu, Input shorted, Max gain, “A” weighted Maximum Input Level Mic: +18 dBu balanced Instrument: +15 dBu Maximum Gain Mic: 70 dB (XLR to balanced output) Instrument: 64 dB (1/4” to balanced output) Maximum Output level Balanced: ..+24 dBu Unbalanced: +20 dBu Output Level At Meter 0 VU: +4 dBu/-10dBV Preamp Microphone Gain: 0 dB to +56 dB Instrument Gain: +3 dB to +50 dB Low Cut Filter: 10 - 250 Hz, 1-pole, 6 dB/Octave EQ Boost/Cut: .+12 dB on each band Low Freq.
