TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik is introducing four new direct boxes at AES, including mono and dual models of both active FET and passive designs.
The TELEFUNKEN TDA-1 (mono) and TDA-2 (dual) are newly designed active FET direct boxes that employ discrete Class-A FET circuitry coupled with transformer that provides balance between high headroom performance and saturated tone.
The TD-1 (mono) and TD-2 (dual) are new passive transformer direct box designs that combine quality components with a rugged construction to create a reliable DI with rich, warm character.
In the heart of each new direct box design are custom-wound output transformers by OEP/Carnhill, made in the UK. The circuit boards feature gold-plated traces for maximum conductivity and are hand-assembled exclusively with through-hole components providing a secure and reliable connection compared to common surface-mount technology.
The circuits are housed in a durable extruded aluminum enclosure with recessed metal toggle switches to engage a -15 dB pad and ground lift.
