It's the secret weapon. The cult classic. The Rochester sound. The original has been called one of the best compressors ever made at its price point, and that tradition continues with the new Pro VLA III.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the earlier versions, it's an optical compressor with two channels that can be used independently or linked for stereo operation. It offers musical control of dynamics that can smooth out individual tracks or glue a full mix together. It uses a fixed-input, variable-threshold design, and offers the authentic character of a real 12AT7 tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew to this version, the Voice switch selects between a warm tube or clean solid state signal path to best match your source material. The ratio range has been extended down to 1.25:1, providing even more subtle control when you need gentle compression. Other updates include increased headroom, lowered background noise, increased channel symmetry in the linked stereo mode, and a refreshed front panel design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro VLA III also offers variable threshold, attack, release, and output controls, independent bypass per channel, and simultaneous metering of input level, output level, and gain reduction. The rear panel has balanced XLR and 1\/4\" inputs and outputs, and a button to select +4 dBu or -10 dBV operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompression is one of the most powerful tools in the studio, and with all-analog circuitry and real tube tone, the Pro VLA III will help you push your mixes to a higher level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-Channel Optical Compressor\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable Tube and Solid State Voicings\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput, Output, and Gain Reduction metering\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable Threshold, Ratio, Attack, and Release\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Mono or Linked Stereo Operation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12AT7 Tube\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+4 dBU or -10 dBV Operation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2U Rackmount Enclosure\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal Internal Power Supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Impedance: 10 kΩ (Balanced \/ Unbalanced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Input Level\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+20 dBu (+4 dBu Mode)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+10 dBV (-10 dBV Mode)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Output Level: +20 dB Max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 10 Hz to 50 kHz (+0 \/ -1 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion: \u0026lt; 0.005% (Solid State)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent Input Noise\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-99 dBu (+4 dBu Mode, A-Weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-107 dBu (-10 dBV Mode, A-Weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Requirements\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100-240V 50Hz\/60Hz 25W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear-mounted IEC connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (DxWxH) 3.5 x 19 x 9.2 inch (8.9 x 48.3 x 23.4 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 10.5 lbs (4.76 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ART","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44533504573519,"sku":"PROVLAIII","price":449.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/files\/xl_8cdae7bbf2d553ade75748ecc6c3abb3.webp?v=1772472219","url":"https:\/\/shop.musicredone.com\/products\/art-pro-vla-iii-multivoice-tube-opto-compressor","provider":"RedOne Music Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
