Details
Controls: Input gain (up to 60dB), 16 preset voicing selector (Neutral/Warm/OPL groups + Flat), switchable boost, phase reverse, phantom power switch, output protection limiting
I/O: XLR (balanced) and 1/4" TS input; XLR (balanced) and 1/4" TS output; +48V phantom power
Notable use: Sound On Sound praised its "confident sound" and said the 16 voicing presets "offer a useful choice of characters"
Notes: form_factor 'Desktop' inferred from stated dimensions (5x5.5x2in, not 19in rack width) — not explicitly labeled 'desktop' by ART. dsp left blank: the 16 voicing presets appear to be analog switch-selected tone-shaping circuits per ART's description, not digital signal processing, but this is not 100% explicit on the page so flagged rather than asserted. digital_control left blank for the same reason (presets look like analog switching, not a digital recall layer). power_watts left blank: ART states 12V DC @ >=800mA supply rating (~9.6W max capacity), not an actual consumption wattage. year_intro left blank: not stated by ART; third-party Reverb listing title suggests circa 2010-2023 production window but that is a marketplace estimate, not confirmed by the manufacturer, so omitted per no-guess rule. price_usd $169.00 basis: Sweetwater listing (July 2026 web search synthesis); B&H/zZounds pages could not be fetched directly (403 blocked).
