Applied Research and Technology (ART) has released the Pro Channel III. 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 four-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 simpler workflow.
