The P16 saves wear and tear on the connectors of expensive audio equipment by bringing all commonly used connections to the external patch bay.

All-steel chassis, black anodized finish and secure, high-quality XLR connections front and back with internal connections made via PCB wiring ensure long term reliability from the passive ART P-16 balanced XLR rackmount patch bay.

3-channel personal mixer

Review: How do you connect a CD player, a synthesizer and the line output from a bass amp to a tape deck? Use a simple stereo mixer. The PowerMIX III can accept either mono or stereo signals and mixes them down to stereo or identical L/R mono signals.

Additionally, the PowerMIX III provides a headphone output with its own level control.

Usage:

1. Plug the AC adapter into the 12V DC input on the PowerMIX III and plug the other end into a 120V AC wall socket.

2. Plug your stereo signal sources into the separate L/R Inputs on channels 1 to 3. Mono sources can be plugged into the Left Input on any channel. It is not recommended that you connect 2 mono sources to any one channel.

The specifications:

Maximum gain: +27 dB
Input impedance: 10k Ohms
Maximum input level: +30 dB
Maximum output level: +13 dB
Output Impedance: 100 Ohms
Total harmonic distortion: > 0.005%
Adapter: included
Power: 12V DC
Dimensions: 143mm x 92mm x 45mm
Weight: 590g.

2 x channel Vactrol-based compressor/leveling amplifier

Review: The Pro VLA II is a tube driven Vactrol-based compressor/leveling amplifier designed to excel in any professional audio environment. Superior performance and an incredible tone makes the Pro VLA II and indispensable tool for tracking, mixing, mastering, dynamic control of live sound sources or for use in broadcast audio.

Capable of delivering a far more musical natural sounding and sonically transparent compression than competitive units in its class, the Pro VLA II uses an Opto-electronic circuit rather than the more typical design VCA driven level detection circuit. This VCA-less design coupled with a 12AT7 vacuum tube in the gain stage makes the Pro-VLA II the ideal dynamic control device for critical audio applications.

Exceptional signal integrity with extremely low noise and low distortion is achieved in the Pro VLA II by utilizing a transformerless design throughout.

Unlike typical compression units that use Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCA's) to handle level detection, the Pro VLA II's Opto-electronic design allows a far more transparent and musical sounding compression without sounding aggressive or un-natural. This Vactrol based optical electronic circuitry is the basic component of the classic highly sought after compressors of past.

The Vactrol design allows the Pro VLA II to react to audio signal in much the same way the eye naturally adjusts to fluctuations in light levels, smoothly, quietly and almost imperceptibly.

The Pro VLA II is a soft knee leveling amplifier by design. Although capable of providing dramatic compression effects, the Pro VLA II was designed to excel in any application where transparent, expressively musical dynamics control is desired.

Large highly visible backlit analog VU meters accurately display input and output levels while extremely fast 10-segment LED's display gain reduction. For added functionality, the LED's display either average level for mastering & mixing applications or peak hold for monitoring individual sources when tracking audio.

XLR and 1/4" TRS balanced inputs and outputs are provided to ensure the Pro VLA II can connect with any audio source or hardware. A +4 dBu/-10 dBu mode switch optimizes the Pro VLA II I/O for either consumer or professional equipment.

Professional rack light & power distributor

Review: Need to cast your rack gear in a whole new light? Make room for the PL2000, a brilliant way to illuminate your gear.

This incredibly handy rack light not only makes your gear visible on the darkest of stages, but also has 8 standard IEC connector outlets to bring power to your entire rack! A resettable rear-panel circuit breaker protects all connected equipment up to an 8-Ampere load.

* Please note: When used in a rack case with removable covers, this unit requires 6.6 centimeters (2.6 inches) of clearance between the front panel mounting surface (rack rails) and the front cover of your rack case. Before purchasing the PL2000, please be sure to check for the necessary clearance to avoid compatibility issues with your rack.)
