From Our Research Team:

Experience unparalleled DI performance on stage and in the studio from the TD-10

Rich sound. Awesome clarity. Incredible performance. The TD-100 Tube Direct Box and Instrument Preamplifier is in a league of its own. With the TD-100 in your set up, you have an excellent sounding input stage for digital recording, adding personality and quality to the signal before the converters. It's also excellent for live applications. No other DI gives you the wealth of features that you get with the TD-100. Summit Audio's TD-100's input section is driven by a 12AX7A/ECC83 vacuum tube, with the output section driven by a discrete transistor circuit utilizing plus or minus 24V rails. Use the loading control to match the input impedance with the output of your bass, guitar, or keyboard. Boost the output gain to get tons of drive and get the most out of the warm tube signal. If you're looking for great sound from what many consider the ultimate professional DI, you've found it with the TD-100!

TD-100 FOR INSTRUMENTS

by John R from Northeast Ohio area
September 4, 2008
Music Background: Recording engineer, Live sound engineer, Musician
Been trying for years to get a nice warm sound on the violin through an amp (as well as electric mandolin. I have a wonderful 1820's German violin with an incredible dynamic range. I use a Schertler... read more [+] Dyn M on it with a Acoustic Image amp and the sound is transparent. The only problem I had was finding a DI that would take the extended dynamic and frequency range of the pickup and not sound strident and be easily over driven. This DI seems to be the bees knees. Look forward to the first gig tomorrow, but the sounds I was getting tonight as I tried it out was just what I was looking for. Besides the Summit Audio owner was extremely helpful in discussing the fine points of frequency response, asymmetrical waves (the violin is full of them (saw tooth etc)) and other very thoughtful suggestions.

From 1996 through 2001 I was the live recording engineer for the Rock Hall and recorded about 60 shows for the archive, as well as playing out for 30 years, so I am particular on the quality of my live sound. I like this piece because it is affordable and made like a tank. We start our new recording this fall and this will be used to track the bass guitar into our DAW.

Keep up the good work Summit. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Austin Moss
My favorite recommendation for fattening up keyboards, samplers, and synths, to say nothing of acoustic instruments like basses and guitars. Use the impedance control as a tone shaper. It's a direct box all right, direct to the sound you were looking for!

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
