Telefunken TDP-1 Passive DI Box

Full Description

Simple Yet Powerful DI

The Telefunken TDP-1 Passive DI Box is the ideal choice for direct input connectivity, allowing you to easily connect instruments with 1/4” jack connections. The ultra-streamlined design delivers the natural vibe and tone of your source material, keeping the neutrality of the original sound. The TDP-1 Passive DI Box is highly reliable, easily integrating as a keystone in any recording environment. The front-panel of the TDP-1 features a -15dB pad switch and a ground lift switch for quick and easy switching between the two. The heavy duty metal toggle switches are reminiscent of retro-style DI boxes, adding to its retro aesthetic.

Premium-Quality Components

At the heart of the TDP-1 Passive DI Box is the OEP/Carnhill transformer. This high quality audio transformer provides superior character and tone from your source material, retaining its natural harmonic qualities. The PCBs within the TDP-1 are all hand-assembled with through-hole components, providing a reliable and secure connection, compared to other DI boxes. The circuit traces are also gold-plated for optimal conductivity and signal transference. The high-input impedance eliminates the loading down of passive pickups and the combined components result in extremely low distortion and self-noise.

Compact Yet Robust

The compact yet robust design of the Telefunken TDP-1 features a rugged aluminium construction with recessed switches and connectors for added protection. Every component has been specially picked to ensure optimal audio fidelity and sonic performance. The WIMA and NichiCon capacitors as well as the 1% 1/4W metal fil resistors are premium-grade components designed to improve the overall circuity. With its compact yet highly robust design, the TDP-1 is ideal for any studio/recording environment.
