ART Pro Audio — Affordable, Professional‑Grade Preamps, Mixers & Processors

Founded in Rochester, New York in 1984, ART Pro Audio (Applied Research and Technology) has spent four decades delivering robust, musician‑friendly gear that works in studios, on stage and in installed sound systems. From their early rack‑mount digital reverbs to today’s full line of mic preamps, mixers, compressors, DIs and more, ART products strike the sweet spot between pro‑studio sound quality and real‑world accessibility. Their iconic Tube MP preamp remains a go-to for musicians seeking classic tube warmth without studio‑size budgets.

At KPODJ, we carry a curated selection of ART gear ideal for project studios, live rigs and pro audio installations — gear that brings decades of engineering experience straight into your signal chain.

Our Perspective — Why Our Team Recommends ART

With decades of hands-on experience in the pro audio industry, the KPODJ team has seen thousands of setups — from basement home studios to full-scale stage rigs. What consistently stands out about ART is the balance: pro-quality sound and build, at price points that don’t bankrupt a small studio. For musicians and engineers who care about tone, reliability, and flexibility — but don’t need boutique-level price tags — ART remains a smart, dependable choice.

Whether you’re tracking vocals and acoustic instruments in a home studio, mixing live sound for a small venue, or building a versatile re-amp and processing rig, ART gear delivers. If you’d like help choosing the right ART components for your setup, we’d be happy to recommend based on your needs — just let us know your intended use case and budget.
