With a proprietary circuit design by Fred Forssell and a superclean Lehle step-down transformer, the ultra-transparent AEA TDI Phantom-Powered Direct Box can capture outstanding sonic performances with minimal distortion, noise interference, and signal loss from long cable runs.
Simple, Straightforward Design
Inspired by AEA's straightforward design philosophy along with the desire to offer an outboard DI alternative, AEA Microphones created the phantom-powered TDI Direct Box.
The phantom-powered TDI offers a passive THRU-put connection which allows the user to send incoming instrument signal to other instrument-level sources (amplifiers, pedals, etc.). This throughput feature, paralleled to the INPUT, is also useful for simultaneous wet/dry signal tracking.
The TDI pairs well with passive instruments (i.e. guitars, basses, piezo pickups) but, with a 20 dB pad, it can also handle signals from active instruments, synths, or speakers.
