ART Pro VLA II Two Channel Vactrol-Based Compressor

Description: OverviewThe ProVLA II is a tube driven Vactrol®-based Compressor / Leveling amplifier designed to excel in any professional audio environment. Superior performance and an incredible tone makes the ProVLA II and indispensable tool for tracking, mixing, mastering, dynamic control of live sound sources or for use in broadcast audio.Capable of delivering a far more musical natural sounding and sonically transparent compression than competitive units in its class, the ProVLA II uses an Opto-electronic circuit rather than the more typical design VCA driven level detection circuit. This VCA-less design coupled with a 12AT7 vacuum tube in the gain stage makes the Pro-VLA II the ideal dynamic control device for critical audio applications.Exceptional signal integrity with extremely low noise and low distortion is achieved in the ProVLA II by utilizing a transformerless design throughout.Vactrol® TechnologyUnlike typical compression units that use Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCA’s) to handle level detection, the Pro VLA II’s Opto-electronic design allows a far more transparent and musical sounding compression without sounding aggressive or un-natural. This Vactrol based optical electronic circuitry is the basic component of the classic highly sought after compressors of past. Vactrol® design allows the ProVLA II to react to audio signal in much the same way the eye naturally adjusts to fluctuations in light levels – smoothly, quietly and almost imperceptibly.Soft Knee LevelingThe ProVLA II is a soft knee leveling amplifier by design. Although capable of providing dramatic compression effects, the ProVLA II was designed to excel in any application where transparent, expressively musical dynamics control is desired.Comprehensive MeteringLarge highly visible backlit analog VU meters accurately display input and output levels while extremely fast 10-segment LED’s display gain reduction. For added functionality, the LED’s display either average level for mastering & mixing applications or peak hold for monitoring individual sources when tracking audio.Versatile I/OXLR and 1/4-inch TRS balanced inputs and outputs are provided to ensure the ProVLA II can connect with any audio source or hardware. A +4dBu/-10dBu mode switch optimizes ProVLA II I/O for either consumer or professional equipment.Key FeaturesVCA-Less Vactrol Opto-Compression DesignMastering Quality Audio Signal Path with Tube Gain StageEnhanced Link Mode – While in stereo link mode, channel 1 level control acts as a master output level and channel 2 becomes a balance control between them, – optimizing the Pro-VLA II for use as a mastering toolVariable Threshold, Ratio & Output ControlsLED Backlit VU Input/Output Level MeteringLED Metering Indicates Both Average Level And Peak HoldAccurate Ten Segment LED Gain Reduction Metering+4dBu/-10dBu Mode Switch Optimizes Pro-VLA II For Interface with Professional OR Consumer Grade ComponentsActive Balanced XLR And 1/4-Inch Inputs & OutputsToroidal Transformer Reduces Mechanical & Electrical HumSpecificationsEquivalent Input Noise@+4dBu: -99dBu (”A” weighted) / @-10 dBV: -107dBu (”A” weighted)Maximum Attenuation30dBInput Impedance10K ΩMaximum Input Level+20dBu (in +4dBu mode) / +10dBV (in -10dBV mode)Maximum Output Level+20dB maxFrequency Response10Hz to 100KHz (+/- 0.5dB)Dynamic Range> 100dB (20-20KHz)Attack Time0.25msec. to 50msec. variableRelease TimeVariable 150ms to 3sSlopeVariable 2:1 to 20:1Total Harmonic Distortion<0.1% (typical)Dimensions3.5″ x 19″ x 9.2″ (8.9cm x 48.3cm x 23.3cm)Weight10.5lbs (4.76kg)
