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.

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
