The ART Pro Channel III is a channel strip with selectable microphone impedance, two compression voicings, and semi-parametric EQ. It was designed for recording musicians seeking an affordable character preamp with extensive tone shaping and real tube warmth.

The Pro Channel III features a discrete FET input stage and up to 60 db of preamp gain. Switchable impedance optimizes the input for various microphones, and the variable low cut filter can eliminate rumble, tame plosives, and tighten bass.

Connecting to the front 1/4" input will override the rear XLR input, so you can record direct tracks without disconnecting your mic/line signal.

The compressor section features variable threshold, ratio, attack, and release controls, and can be placed before or after the EQ section in the signal path. Press the Voice button to switch between smooth tube/opto and punchy FET compressor modes.

The equalizer section features a switchable low shelf frequency, variable low-mid and high-mid frequencies with over 4 octaves of range per band, and a 12 kHz high shelf that can soften sizzle or boost brilliance, so you can sculpt and enhance.
