ART PRO VALVE TWO CHANNEL COMPRESSOR/LIMITER with VACTROL

The PRO VLA (Vactrol? based Leveling Amplifier) is a multi-purpose tool for audio engineering and recording.
Enclosed in a 2U(3.5" high) rack-mountable chassis are two independent channels of analog leveling/compression
designed to work seamlessly with any recording, sound-reinforcement, or electronic instrument setup. ART?s
PRO VLA circuitry is a hybrid design utilizing the latest and most advanced analog and tube technology. Using
a transformerless design throughout, the PRO VLA maintains exceptional signal integrity and extremely low
noise. Its VCA-less design utilizes optical electronics (Vactrol) coupled with a 12AX7 vacuum tube gain stage
for superior musical performance.
The PRO VLA is a soft knee leveling amplifier by design. Although it is capable of providing a thoughougly "squashed"
signal, the PRO VLA was designed to excel in areas where transparent, expressively musical dynamics control
is desired. In addition to making signal levels more manageable, it is common practice to apply compression or
limiting to a signal to make it louder or more "in-your-face“. The benefit of using the PRO VLA for these applications
is in its design. By utilizing opto-electronics, the PRO VLA allows you to add more compression without sounding
like you?re squashing the daylights out of the signal. Unlike typical compressors which use VCA?s to control level
detection, the PRO VLA is very musical. The nature of its operation is much like the way your eye adjusts to light.
Just as your eye transparently adjusts to changes in light, the PRO VLA adjusts to changes in signal level.
Developed in partnership with studio and live sound engineers, the PRO VLA possesses a "sound" that is not available
from any other compressor on the market - at any price! The PRO VLA was designed and constructed with the absolute
best components, assuring a lifetime of quiet, reliable performance.

Description

The alphaton Feedback-Controller FC-100 is a revolutionary product for every microphone
application including wireless types. It can provide effective feedback control to any sound
reinforcement situation. It can also eliminated string feedback in guitars and bass instruments
which are equipped with piezo or condenser pickups.
The FC-100 provides 6 to 10 dB of feedback protection by analysing the incoming signal,
detecting the presence of feedback and then notching out the feedback frequency.
The FC-100 relieves the sound engineer automatically. It works dynamically and eliminates a
feedback signal before it can grow into a peak. Internally a discriminator circuit detects the
presence of regenerative feedback and triggers the automatic equaliser to insert a notch where
the feedback peak is coming up. This normally prevents other peaks from developing but if they
do, the process is repeated at high speed, thus keeping feedback under control.

The S com 4 is a compact and versatile single-rack space device that provides
four channels of high quality dynamics processing with an Expander/Gate and
Compressor/Limiter on each channel.
The four channels operate independently or in stereo pairs. Its multi-segment LED
metering displays input/output level as well as gain reduction. The Expander/Gate
section features a continuously variable Threshold control as well as a switch for
fast or slow release times.
The Compressor/Limiter section includes variable Threshold, Ratio and Output levels.
S com 4's Enhancer switch restores high frequencies that are sometimes diminished
by heavy compression. This wide-ranging combination of features makes the S com
4 an efficient and versatile audio tool for a wide variety of applications. Its clean and
quiet audio characteristics make it ideal where high sonic integrity is imperative.

Innovation
The ARX COMPO? is a unique compressor/limiter designed for use in any
professional audio dynamics control application, packaged in a compact 1
RU chassis.The COMPO operates as two independent compressor/limiters,
with 'industry standard' variable Threshold, Ratio and Output gain controls.
A Stereo Link switch on the front panel lets both channels track as a stereo
pair in a Master/Slave configuration.
Enhance Switch
The COMPO features an 'Enhance' switch, which provides frequency restoration
to preserve the spectral balance of the audio signal, compensating for the sagging
Low and High frequency response of compressed program material.
The best way to think of it is as a 'smart' loudness control.
Wide Scale metering
There is comprehensive LED indication of all operating functions and status. Above
or Below Threshold LEDs on each channel give you instant visual confirmation of
compressor activity, as well as easy to read LED Gain Reduction meters.
Balanced Inputs and Outputs
On the rear panel, each channel has true differential Balanced inputs and outputs,
on both XLR and TRS jack connectors. Other features include an Active/Bypass
switch for each channel, and passive RFI filters on the inputs.
Universal AC Power
AC power range is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V AC, and is connected to
the unit via a removable power lead and standard 3 pin IEC connector, with built-in
fuse and voltage change switch.

AXEL Compact telephone hybrid. Management of 1 wired PSTN / POTS line, electronically balanced input and output on XLR connector

Product Discription:

BoxTel MKII is an analogue telephone hybrid, designed to interface a telephone line with audio equipments. BoxTel MKII manages 1
POTS/PSTN line, whereas BoxTel GSM manages 1 GSM line to establish telephone connections where wired lines are not present.

A powerful internal microcontroller completely manages both BoxTel MKII and BoxTel GSM, allowing the configuration of the operating modes
via software. The internal microcontroller provides further functions such as adjustment of the line impedance according to the region,
visualization of the Send/Receive audio levels on the front leds, line detecting presence of a telephone line, buzzer with adjustable level,
AutoHook - automatic line hooking and answering after a certain number of rings. While BoxTel MKII is operative, its possible to exclude or
keep connected in parallel an external telephone set (Tel.Set).

The backlit Hook/Ring button on the front panel allows a quick management of the phone calls; each time a telephone call is incoming the
BoxTels Hook/Ring button starts to flash, by pressing it the operator answer the phone call. BoxTel MKII has the Line Detecting function,
which makes the Hook/Ring button switch on in presence of a telephone line.

BoxTel MKII and BoxTel GSM are devices equipped with an internal power supply enabling great audio performance: two separate
Send/Receive front potentiometers manage the audio level, with a total range of +/- 15dB. The input sensitivity is set at 0dBu while the
maximum output level is greater than +20 dBu.

The audio connections are separated for Send/Receive and are available over XLR electronically balanced connectors. A RJ11C connector
allows the telephone line connection (Tel.Line) and one more RJ11C connector performs the connection to an external telephone set (Tel.Set).
A GPIO port with optocouplers and open collector is provided to establish remote connections between BoxTel MKII and BoxTel GSM and
mixing console. It is possible to connect directly the Telco module of an Oxygen4, Oxygen5 and Oxygen7 console with BoxTel MKII/BoxTel GSM
by using a simlpe Pin-to-Pin cable. Internal universal power supply 90-264Vac/47-63Hz to operate worldwide.

Thanks to all of their features, BoxTel MKII and BoxTel GSM represent the telephone hybrids with the best quality/price ratio available on the
marketplace. BoxTel MKII and BoxTel GSM occupy ½ rack unit - LxHxD 22x5x13cm.
