ART SOLO STUDIO - Multivoice Channel Strip
The ART Solo Series is a range of highly affordable, all-analog, single-channel processors. They offer flexible tone shaping with intuitive controls and the unmistakable sound of real tubes.
The Solo Studio might be the most versatile member of the family, combining elements of the Solo MPA preamp and Solo VLA compressor into a single 1U channel strip.
It offers 40 dB of input gain, phantom power, a tilt EQ to balance lows and highs, and an 80 Hz high-pass filter to reduce rumble and tighten bass.
Activate the optical compressor for smooth, transparent control of your dynamics and your choice of a pristine clean or warm tube signal path. The backlit VU meter can show gain reduction or output level for easy reference.
The front combo jack lets you quickly change sources without getting behind your rack. The rear panel has XLR and 1/4 inputs and outputs, and an insert point between the preamp and compression stages.
Packed with features, the Solo Studio is a powerful channel strip and DI that expands your recording setup with flexible tone shaping, musical compression, and real tube saturation.
