The TASCAM TA-1VP vocal processor was co-developed with Antares Audio Technologies to bring together everything you need for a polished modern vocal sound. The rackmount processor includes a microphone preamp compression de-essing microphone & tube modelling and Antares world-famous Auto-Tune pitch correction. Perfect for live performance house of worship or studio use the TA-1VP brings your vocal sound into the 21st century. A high-quality XLR microphone input is provided on the TA-1VP front panel with phantom power for condenser mics. Processing is laid out in simple-to-use blocks on the front panel each with dedicated buttons and meters to show you exactly whats being done to the signal. Antares microphone and tube modelling takes the input signal and gives it the character of another microphone with a library of classics to choose from. The De-essing module removes sibilance from your signal before variable-knee compression and gating. A great-sounding digital EQ is last in the chain before output allowing you to bring out the character of any voice.
