TDC BASS DI BLACK [IKEBE ORIGINAL COLOR] [Pre-price item]

The highly acclaimed Professional DI now comes in an original color model from Ikebe Order!

A DI is essential for bass recording, whether professionally or at home. Engineers choose a DI for bass just as they choose the right microphone for drums or guitar. The bass, whose ability to encompass a song with even a single note, is the very essence of music. It's no exaggeration to say that the DI determines whether a bass sound is enhanced or not. TDC's BASS DI was developed in response to the needs of recording engineers. To achieve a sound more suited to bass recording, we repeatedly tested it against many DIs previously used with SSL consoles, striving for a better sound. We developed this BASS DI, combining a buffer and transformer for superior low-frequency sound quality and distortion characteristics.

◆ Boost function equipped with a vintage feel
Equipped with an ON/OFF booster circuit. Turning up the gain knob produces a pleasant distortion that approaches the texture obtained from the head of a large console, creating a sound full of vintage feel.

◆ XLR terminal for outputting the original sound quality of the bass Equipped with an XLR terminal that enables high-resolution output. It enhances the sound quality of line recordings while adding the charm of BASS DI without compromising the original sound quality of the instrument.

◆ The XLR output stage uses a carefully selected matching transformer in a permalloy case.In order to drive the transformer with ample capacity, the germanium transistors used in other models have been made larger, resulting in a unique vintage feel while still providing good sound projection.

Compatible with DC 9-18V power adapters. Using 18V will produce a more powerful and sharper sound.
