Hi! This is for a ART Levelar Professional Tube Compressor Vacrol Tube Leveling Amplifier Personal Processor. Ships in original box and includes ac power cord and manuel.. It is in good condition and wasn't used that much. Thanks for bidding! Manufacturer specs are below:
From the designers of the award winning Tube MP comes the latest in the Personal Processor Series of world class signal processing: The Levelar. The Levelar is a single channel leveling amplifier. Similar in design philosophy to the classic tube limiters, the Levelar utilizes a VCA-less design for premium performance. The Tube Compressor's design features electro-optical (Vactrol ®) and vacuum tube electronics, which delivers classic sound without the "old" noise. Ask any audio engineer what makes a great compressor/limiter and they will tell you - "sound". The classic pieces each had a sonic "flavor" that made them popular. One of the main complaints about many contemporary compressor and limiter designs is that they are "life-less" or "dull" sounding. This is primarily due to the action of the VCA (voltage controlled amplifier). Classic compressors and limiters had a "sound" that isn't available elsewhere. Tubes alone were not responsible for this sound, but rather the complete circuit design. The Tube Compressor from ART has characteristics reminiscent of these classic pieces, yet offers a "sound" you simply cannot get elsewhere.The Tube Compressor is as simple to use as a contemporary compressor. The primary difference is that it is used (as the classics are) to level out the signal as opposed to altering the complete dynamic range. The Tube Compressor offers both compression and limiting. Due to its very fast attack and release response times, the Tube Compressor provides the "classic" punchy and transparent characteristics of the "LA-" type levelers and offers a finely tuned auto setting which behaves like the classic stereo modules, providing a smooth, loud, and fat sound.The particular device is in perfect condition and working order. It has seen little use, and has never been used outside of a studio environment!Power supply and User's Guide included!PRODUCT SPECSDimensions: 5.25" D x 5.375" W x 2.0" HWeight: 1.5 lbsInput Impedance: 20k ohms (XLR), 1M ohm (1/4")Output Impedance: 600 ohms (XLR), 300 ohms (1/4")Maximum Input Level: +15dBmMaximum Output Level: +26dBm (XLR), +20dBm (1/4")Power Requirements: 9VAC @ 700mA (power supply included!)Frequency Response: 10Hz to 20KHz (+/- 0.5dB)THD: <0.1% (typ)Equivalent Input Noise: -97dBm (1/4" to 1/4")Equivalent Input Noise: -99dBm (XLR to XLR)Slope: 2.3:1 (Compress), 6:1 (Limit)Maximum Attenuation: 28dBControls: ThresholdControls: Active/Bypass SwitchControls: Compress/Limit Switch Auto/Fast Release SwitchControls: Output Level ControlConnections: 1/4" Balanced InputConnections: XLR Balanced InputConnections: 1/4" Balanced OutputConnections: XLR Balanced OutputConnections: 9VAC Power InputPRODUCT FEATURES* Single channel tube and Vactrol® based leveling amplifier * Premium hand selected 12AX7A tube * Musically transparent sound * VCA-less tube and Vactrol® compression circuitry * Adjustable threshold control * Selectable attack and release characteristics * Gain reduction LED meter ladder with threshold indicator * Compression and Limiting options * Variable output level control * Balanced 1/4" and XLR inputs and outputs * Extremely low noise * AC-powered, All-steel construction * Designed and manufactured in the USA |
