Simplemente, no hay otro channel strip que tenga la versatilidad de ARC-1.1. Lo que tiene acá es un preamplificador de micrófono y línea, ecualizador paramétrico y compresor-limitador que puede ser usado en conjunto como un canal de grabación o se puede utilizar como 3 elementos completamente diferentes. El ARC (Analog Recording Channel) no es solo un equipo sino 3 equipos agrupados en un chassis con un sistema de ruteo inteligente.

El compresor del ARC-1.1 es el mismo diseño del SOC-1.1 y se ha convertido en un favorito para ingenieros de sonido en vivo para vocales principales. Un Ecualizador de 5 bandas con 2x bandas de medios variables, ecualizadores shelving en los altos y bajos y filtro pasa altos, proporcionan una comprensiva ecualización. Todo esto está acoplado a nuestro preamplificador Clase A Real de bajo ruido entrega un poderoso canal análogo .
