VT737SP's preamp provides a 48V phantom powered input, an Instrument DI and a balanced line input. The Opto-compressor features twin Class A tube triodes for gain matching. Full dynamic control from soft compression to hard-knee limiting can be achieved with threshold, ratio-compression, attack and release controls plus gain reduction selection on the large VU meter. Special spectral control including de-ess is available with the dual sweep mid EQ to side-chain switch. The EQ section can be flipped pre or post-compressor. The high and low EQ bands provide the smooth characteristics of an all passive design, while the dual mid bands include variable frequency and switched Q-width selection. Whether you're recording a solo vocalist or an acoustic instrument, mastering, or recording symphonies, let Avalon take you to the leading edge in analog and experience sonic reality like never before!

ART Pro Channel Tube Mic Preamp and Compressor with EQ

ART Pro Channel Tube Mic Preamp and Compressor with EQ Review



ART Pro Channel Tube Mic Preamp and Compressor with EQ Feature

  • Professional Tube-Based Microphone/Line Recording Channel
  • Three independent modules: tube mic pre, switchable optical/ variable mu compressor, and tube EQ
  • Precision Detented Potentiometers
  • Selectable VU Metering (mic pre out, compressor out, or Main Out)
  • Tube Character and Gain Reduction LED Arrays
The Pro Channel from ART is the latest offering from the world's most popular tube dynamics processing manufacturer. ART engineers have combined the world-renowned Pro MPA, Pro VLA, and Tube EQ into a single product - creating the world's best-sounding and most affordable professional recording channel.The Pro Channel features many new and exciting design enhancements to ART's pro and home studio staples, including the addition of a tube circuit to the compressor module. The Pro Channel allows you to select between ART's award winning optical/tube compressor or the coveted tube circuit (a design made popular by the sound of the old broadcast limiters - now costing thousands of dollars). The tube circuit is fast, fat and a bit aggressive, and is guaranteed to become a legend among compressors as has the Pro VLA. The four-band parametric equalizer has selectable Q for the two sweepable mid-bands. As with all design elements of the Pro Channel, these Q options were fine-tuned by some of the industry's top studio and live-sound engineers. Likewise, all new additions were made without compromise to the sound of the original designs (Pro MPA, Pro VLA, Tube EQ), which have become standards in professional studios and FOH rigs around the globe.

Denon AVR-3803 - AV receiver - 7.1 channel - refurbished

Denon AVR-3803 - AV receiver - 7.1 channel - refurbished Review



Denon AVR-3803 - AV receiver - 7.1 channel - refurbished Feature

  • 7.1 multi-channel inputs are sent directly to the speaker and preamp outputs
  • Performs the appropriate signal processing, and transmits the information to the DSP block
DENON AVR-3803-R Home Theater A/V Receiver - REFURBISHED: Power Supply: The AVR-3803 is designed and constructed for the highest quality sound. A huge power transformer has been connected in the power section where it is combined with a rectifier diode and a large block capacitor to ensure a large, stable supply of electrical current. Accordingly, the receiver boasts high output power of 110 watts for each of the 7 channels. Digital Surround Processing: The AVR-3803 features the new Analog Devices Melody 100 (Hammerhead SHARC) 32-bit floating point, high speed digital surround processor, operating entirely in the digital domain, to deliver accurate performance from digital sources such as DVD, LD, and DTV. 24-bit/192kHz Digital-to-Analog Conversion: Two Burr Brown linear PCM-1791 24-bit/192kHz high-resolution DACs are included for each channel, giving the AVR-3803 a total of 16. The 192kHz sampling and 24-bit word length capabilities of the DACs allows you to play high-resolution recordings and hear the increased clarity, detail and dynamic range of those recordings. 24-bit/192kHz Analog-to-Digital Conversion: The AVR-3803 is capable of 24-bit/192kHz A/D conversion, allowing it to provide especially accurate signal conversion. Analog to digital signal conversion is not applied to analog signals received by the 7.1 multi-channel inputs; analog signals received by the 7.1 multi-channel inputs are sent directly to the speaker and preamp outputs. 24-bit/192kHz Digital Interface Receiver: The AVR-3803 includes a Digital Interface Receiver that distinguishes various types of digital input signals, including 24/192 and 24/96 stereo PCM signals, performs the appropriate signal processing, and transmits the information to the DSP block. Surround Modes: This receiver incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you maximum enjoyment from your audio and video software.
