TK Audio Transceiver 2 Four-Channel Insert Station and Reamp
Optionen wählen
TK Audio Transceiver 2 is a four-channel rackmount insert station whose main job is converting balanced signals to unbalanced and back again without losing signal quality. Guitar pedals, old tape echoes and other instrument-level effects can then be inserted into your DAW or console just like any studio processor.
Pedals and vintage FX in a studio signal chain
Plugging a stompbox straight into an interface output usually means an overloaded input, noise and an impedance mismatch. Transceiver 2 gives every channel a send level, a return gain from 0 to 20 dB, a return polarity switch and a Blend control to dose the effect against the dry signal. That is especially useful with pedal compressors and distortion, because the attack of the original track survives. All controls have 41 steps, so settings are easy to note on a recall sheet.
Reamping, DI and inserts on stage
The same box works as a reamping tool for sending finished tracks through an amp, as an active DI with up to +20 dB of gain for running an instrument through your collection of vintage gear, and as a universal insert station on stage when you want balanced gear between instrument and amp. The transformerless balanced design gives a flat frequency response and low distortion, and the outputs have enough drive to feed input transformers.
