Applied Research and Technology, a division of Yorkville Sound, is excited to announce the release of Pro Channel III, as the company continues to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2024.
Designed for recording musicians seeking an affordable character preamp, the Pro Channel III offers extensive tone shaping and real tube warmth. It combines a Class A microphone preamp, instrument DI, multi-voice compressor, and 4-band semi-parametric EQ.
New to this version, the Compressor can be switched between Tube/Opto and FET modes for smooth or punchy dynamic control. The Compressor and EQ sections can now be reordered in the signal chain at the touch of a button for greater flexibility. The front panel has also been streamlined with larger controls and fewer buttons for a faster, simpler workflow.
“Pro Channel users love it because it’s one of the few channel strips on the market that combines a preamp, compressor, and EQ,” says Ray Wilson, Yorkville Sound’s National Sales Manager and Recording Product Specialist. “It offers versatile tonal control in a 2U enclosure.”
“The Pro Channel II has been one of our most popular studio products for over a decade,” Wilson continues. “Version III adds even more professional features while remaining accessible to users of all experience levels.”
The Pro Channel III is now shipping. To learn more, please contact your local ART dealer.
