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.

Pro VLA Features:

VCA-less Design Provides Unrivaled Musical Performance
Provides Superior Dynamics Control For Every Compression Application
Variable Threshold, Ratio and Output Controls
Smooth, Silky and Transparent Sound Quality
Variable Input and Output Gain Controls
Professional Backlit VU
Input/Output Level Metering

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 latest addition to the 10 Series product line, the dbx® 1074 QuadGate™, is the perfect companion to the 1066 and 1046. The 1074 offers 4 channels of gating with threshold, depth and release controls on each channel. The 1074, like the rest of the products in dbx 10 Series, is based on the legendary dbx V2 VCA and offers XLR inputs and outputs, and 1/4” side-chain input. In addition to an external key input per channel, the 1074 also has an internal filter that can be independently activated and controlled on a channel-per-channel basis. This filter allows the 1074 to not only clean up tracks, but gives you frequency selective control on each gate, to open exactly when you want it to. These features combined, make the 1074 an absolute must for those who require quad gating on applications including: Gating dry and percussive sounds such as snare drum and kick drum,gating sounds that have longer decay times such as cymbals and Pianos, gating hum or buzz from live instruments or recorded tracks or eliminating Headphone leakage into microphones. Gating instrument microphones to eliminate amplifier bleed. 

From the company that has been redefining the standard of signal processing for more than 30 years, dbx® Professional Products comes a bulletproof product that caters to the scrutinizing needs of those who require the precision noise gating capabilities. Once again, the engineering staff at dbx® Professional Products have taken technology that has been over three decades in the making and have created a product that is flexible, versatile and rock solid in construction design. The 1074ʼs independent channel design with key filtering capabilities make it the perfect tool for countless applications.

  • Four independent channels of gating
  • Independent key filtering
  • Independent Threshold and Release controls
  • Differentially balanced gold-plated XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs
  • True RMS level detection
  • Stereo Coupling mode
