ART Pro Audio Announces Solo Series – Single Channel Audio Recording Processors

ART Pro Audio has announced the Solo Series, consisting of three new single channel audio recording processors based on their popular designs.

FutureMusic may actually be only one of a few places you can read about this announcement, not because we’re brilliant, but because we just happened to stumble onto them at the NAMM show. It’s a shame they don’t put a ton of effort into their public relations, or marketing because they develop some terrific, bang-for-the-buck products that more people should know about…

ART Solo Studio

The Solo Studio Multi-Voice Channel Strip allows users to choose between a low-noise / low-distortion solid state transistor circuit and a warmer Class-A tube mic preamp and tailor the sound with the Tilt EQ control. Featuring 48V phantom power, a front Microphone/Line balanced input or a high impedance Instrument input, users can sculpt vocals for clarity while the Tilt EQ can be used to emphasize high presence or low-end warmth. The SOLO Series of single channel rackmount units have been developed for the recording enthusiast with a preference for simplicity.

Whether it’s to fatten up an instrument take, smooth out a vocal performance or prevent clipping while laying down tracks, the ART Solo VLA could be the right solution to elevate your productions to the next level.

ART Solo VLA Features:

  • Selectable Multi-Voice Tube/Solid State Control
  • Hand selected 12AT7 Tube
  • OPTO – Analog Optical Isolators (AOI)
  • Variable Threshold and Ratio Controls
  • Variable Attack and Release Controls
  • Variable Blend for Parallel Compression
  • Selectable Level Modes(+4dBu/-10dBV)
  • 20Hz to 80KHz Frequency Response (+0db+/-1dB)
  • >100dB (20-20k Hz) Dynamic Range
  • Power Requirements: 100-120V 60 Hz / 220-240V 50Hz rear mounted switch and IEC connector
  • Dimensions: (HxWxD) 1.75-inch x 19-inch x 6.0-inch / 4.45 cm x 48.3 cm x 15.2 cm
  • Weight: 5.6 lb / 2.5kg
