Legendary microphone maker Telefunken has unveiled its first-ever direct boxes. The four new DIs (active and passive models in mono and stereo versions) are engineered to the company’s typically high standards with top-drawer components (including genuine UK-made OEP/Carnhill transformers) housed in rugged extruded aluminum casings. The active TDA-1 and TDA-2 employ discrete Class A, high-headroom FET circuitry to deliver full, rich tone. The TD-1 and TD-2 utilize a passive design to achieve a warm, punchy sound. All are designed to preserve the natural character of your instrument, and include switchable 15dB pads and ground lifts.
