Your All-in-one Solution... Get Better Recordings!

When they nail it, they nail it... and ART nailed it with the Voice Channel. This is by and large a TREMENDOUS value for any and every project/home studio guy or gal... and a healthy dose of pro studios outfit their racks with the Voice Channel when they want extra tube processing, at a nice price. With it, you get Class A tube preamplification, joined with an integrated dynamics processor and a semi-parametric EQ system. That's a lot of goods packed into one rackmountable unit.

But what else is sweet (apart from the rich, warm tube tone) is that the ART Voice Channel features flexible digital outputs in addition to analog ones, so it's easy to connect with your gear. PLUS you've got a USB output for connecting straight to your laptop or Mac/PC desktop computer and recording. What other channel strip can claim that?

When it's time to get your hands on a real preamp/compressor/EQ trio... and enter the professional world of channel strip-dom, the ART Voice Channel is the way to go. It's got the right set of features at the right price.
