SPL - Transducer
Analog Speaker and Miking Simulator. (Model #2601)
The SPL Transducer is an analog cabinet and miking simulator for guitar amplifiers which was designed in a cooperative developmental effort with German guitar amp specialists of Tonehunter.
In studio and on stage the Transducer replaces the guitar speaker cabinet and microphone(s) so that the time and resource-intensive microphone processing of this loud sonic source is no longer necessary.
In addition the Transducer offers much more sonic flexibility and variety than a single mike and cabinet setup because it allows for varied speaker and mike simulations while allowing to retain accustomed features of individual setups (such as the ability to vary level-dependent loudspeaker characteristics and microphone distances).
Main advantages Authentic sound qualities and real time response for the guitar player - in contrast to digital simulations with latencies in processing Independence from volume levels during performances or recording sessions Independence from room acoustics in recordings Provides for a live signal in recording quality without crosstalk from miking Great space and weight reduction in transport
