Our take on the ART Pro VLA II

ART Pro VLA II is a two-channel leveling amplifier with optical compression, built for streamers who want a hardware compressor to even out voice levels. It has a tube gain stage.

The unit is described as a mastering-quality audio path. It is a processor, not a USB audio interface, so it sits between your mic preamp and your mixer or converter. It weighs 11 pounds. Retailers rate it 4.2 across 134 ratings. In a stream chain it would sit after the mic and before the converter, smoothing loud and quiet moments.

Pros
  • Optical compression evens out voice levels
  • Tube gain stage
  • Two channels
Cons
  • Processor only, you still need an interface
  • Heavy at 11 pounds
