Superior performance and an incredible tone makes the ProVLA II and indispensable tool for tracking, mixing, mastering, dynamic control of live sound sources or for use in broadcast audio.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCapable of delivering a far more musical natural sounding and sonically transparent compression than competitive units in its class, the ProVLA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExceptional signal integrity with extremely low noise and low distortion is achieved in the ProVLA II by utilizing a transformerless design throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVactrol® Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike 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. Vactrol® design allows the ProVLA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoft Knee Leveling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ProVLA II is a soft knee leveling amplifier by design. Although capable of providing dramatic compression effects, the ProVLA II was designed to excel in any application where transparent, expressively musical dynamics control is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComprehensive Metering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLarge 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 \u0026amp; mixing applications or peak hold for monitoring individual sources when tracking audio.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile I\/O\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eXLR and 1\/4-inch TRS balanced inputs and outputs are provided to ensure the ProVLA II can connect with any audio source or hardware.
