AEA TDI Active Direct Box

With a proprietary circuit design by Fred Forssell and a superclean Lehle step-down transformer, the ultra-transparent TDI can capture outstanding sonic performances with minimal distortion, noise interference, and signal loss from long cable runs.

TDI OVERVIEW

Super clean and musical circuit design
Compact, road-ready design with rugged durability
20 dB pad, ground lift switch, and paralleled throughput
Made in the U.S.A.
Simple, straightforward design
Inspired by our straightforward design philosophy and our desire to offer an outboard DI alternative, we created the AEA TDI.

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.
