And they're usually right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUntil now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe BF-1 is an all-purpose interface for any instrument with a pickup that enhances clarity, detail, audibility and dynamics whether used between the instrument and amp, the instrument and a PA or recording device or all of these at the same time. Whatever you plug into it just sounds better. This isn't because the BF-1 changes the sound of the instrument - it's because it preserves it in a way that the input stage of an amplifier or a console simply can't. Once you feed your amp, console or converters a strong representation of what's actually coming out of your instrument, you'll be amazed at how good it really sounds. (It's been sounding this good all along, but now you can finally hear it!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo let's get nerdy. The BF-1 was built for musicians who care about the sound of their instruments. It's meant to be used by musicians with a minimum of fuss in any environment. Just plug the instrument in, plug the BF-1 into the amp, and be amazed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe usually think of DIs as utility boxes designed to get an XLR-compatible signal out an instrument. Necessary, perhaps -- but boring. The last thing anyone wants to spend money on. So what if we took the interface out of the realm of the boring and made it an indispensable part of the original sound? The BF-1 does just that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe signal generated by magnetic pickups is beautiful, nuanced, detailed and incredibly weak. That's even more true of piezoelectric pickups. It's not just a question of the level of the signal (a voltage concept), it's a question of the power of the signal (a current concept). All amplifiers make the signal do actual work to drive the input stage. The problem is that the most delicate parts of the signal aren't capable of doing that work, and are forever lost. It's a form of Heisenberg's \"observer principle\" - when we observe a phenomenon, we necessarily alter it. The goal in getting the best sound out of an instrument is to observe the sound while avoiding unintentional alteration of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt boils down to input impedance. The higher the input impedance, the less work the signal has to do before it is safely amplified. Consoles and recording devices usually have an input impedance of around 10,000 ohms - way too low for a pickup. Plug a guitar or bass directly in and it sounds lifeless, small and completely lacking in detail and low end. With a piezo pickup, it sounds thin, buzzy and grating. Guitar and bass amps have an input impedance of several hundred thousand ohms - a big improvement. Instruments sound bigger, fuller and more detailed. This is why the traditional approach for recording or live gigs has been to run the instrument into a DI for the console and back out to the amp. The normal DI replicates the input impedance of the amp, converts it into a signal the console can use, and all is well. Boring, but fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat if we looked at this differently? What if we made the pickup do even less work? What if instead of a few hundred thousand ohms we created an interface with 20 million ohms input impedance? Well, we did. And the results are astounding. Now we can observe even the tiniest details in the signal without ruining it, and pump the results out to an amp or console with the full detail in useable form. There's no reason to plug an instrument into anything else. The BF-1 can simultaneously drive an amp through its 1\/4 ing output jack and a pro audio device via XLR. Everything sounds better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt turns out that tubes are uniquely well-suited for this task, because they are inherently capable of creating ridiculously high input impedances. Passive DIs use transformers, which can't effectively create such high impedances. Active Dis use low-voltage FETs, which sound like .... transistors. And they usually offer input impedances far lower than a good tube stage anyway. But wait! You already have a tube amp - won't that do the trick? Nope. Amps use tubes as high gain stages, and that drastically lowers their input impedance. They benefit hugely from the BF-1. The BF-1 uses the input tube the same way as a tube microphone - to convert impedances without the high gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are other tube DIs out there, sure. But most of them resemble a traditional tube amp input and give you a nice low impedance output for the console. We took a different approach that offers better sound and way more flexibility - all for a ridiculously low price in a package that's small and rugged enough to put in a gig bag and use every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of stopping at massive impedance conversion, the BF-1 also offers a Class A tube preamp, a two-band EQ and dual outputs that can be used simultaneously for your amp and console. But we didn't stop there. Bypass the EQ, and you have a choice of low gain (much like a traditional DI) or high gain, which gives you the ability to go straight to the converters for pure high-fidelity line level recording with no other amplification needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor bass players, the BF-1 can actually eliminate the need for an amp altogether. Feed a console with the tubes in the BF-1 and it will sound better than any bass amp output you've ever heard. Crank the low band of the EQ, and say goodbye to the windows and drywall in the venue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Useful Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57959550124415,"sku":"8539","price":799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"crane-song-hedd-quantum-7203","title":"Crane Song HEDD Quantum","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQuantum clocking - the same sub pico second jitter clocking that is used in the Avocet IIA DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn HEDD Quantum, the sub ps jitter clocking is applied to both the AD and the DA.

Housed in a sturdy and attractive 2RU chassis, the CA500EQ provides stepped switches for easy settings recall. An 18dB\/octave high-pass filter, continuously variable from 30Hz to 300Hz, is included for ridding your signal of unwelcome low frequencies. Inputs and outputs are via balanced XLR connectors.

The most desired product was the Lang PEQ-2 Program Equalizer. Unfortunately, not very many were made and those that have survived until today are carefully guarded by their lucky owners. Many have said that they actually prefer this model to the ubiquitous Pultec program equalizers. Both are essentially the same patented Western Electric design, very high quality passive equalizers with inductors, but the fact that the PEQ-2 offers a sharper, tighter response makes it ideal for mix bus use where flabby, undefined sound can ruin your results. A few important differences are: The PEQ-2 has nearly twice as many frequency options to choose from...26 compared to the Pultec ́s 14. The low end is infinitely more controllable as the LANG gives you the ability to Boost and Cut at different frequencies, unlike the Pultec. There is also a very useful 20 kHz option in the High Peak Boost section that can really be helpful. . Those that are lucky enough to still have them will not let them go. In fact, many have stated that they have become their ́secret weapon ́ and totally rely on them to produce their trademark sound, including Allen Sides, Andrew Scheps and Joe Chiccarelli just to name a few. So, once again, Heritage Audio is on the scene to make this nearly lost treasure available to any and all. After months and months of studying the originals, the PEQ-2 has been reborn and is back by popular demand. The likelihood of encountering one of these 1960 ́s works of art let alone being able to pay the ridiculous prices, is very low.... But not anymore. The LANG PEQ-2 is now available for purchase so grab one while you can....or better yet, grab two for stereo bus use...you will not regret it. While having a very simple and easy layout, the PEQ-2 can be deceiving as it is actually capable of some very extreme processing all while maintaining the musicality of your signal. With independent controls for Boost and Droop (Cut) for both the High and Low bands you can quickly transform your material in interesting, creative ways that you have almost certainly never considered before and are not even possible with the Pultec design. Once you’ve tried moulding your mixes with these you’ll wonder how you ever managed before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ability to boost and cut at the same or similar frequencies produces exciting new equalized response curves. Experimentation is key, but you will quickly realize just how powerful this feature can be. Within no time the PEQ-2 will most likely become one of your most used studio tools. The sheer power if offers with the ease and speed of achieving results is impressive...and addictive. Not only does the PEQ-2 offer Low Shelf boost and cut control and High Shelf cut, but it also has a High Peak Boost with a completely variable Q (Bandwidth) setting that spans from Sharp to Broad to cover any needs. What’s more, the range of Boost actually varies depending on what your selected Bandwidth setting is to offer a very smooth and natural response at all times... Very clever indeed. And like all the Heritage Audio products, the LANG PEQ-2 comes equipped with custom audio transformers at the Input and Output to make sure you always have a powerful, solid, noise-free signal to work with.

The most desired product was the Lang PEQ-2 Program Equalizer. Unfortunately, not very many were made and those that have survived until today are carefully guarded by their lucky owners. Many have said that they actually prefer this model to the ubiquitous Pultec program equalizers. Both are essentially the same patented Western Electric design, very high quality passive equalizers with inductors, but the fact that the PEQ-2 offers a sharper, tighter response makes it ideal for mix bus use where flabby, undefined sound can ruin your results. A few important differences are: The PEQ-2 has nearly twice as many frequency options to choose from...26 compared to the Pultec ́s 14. The low end is infinitely more controllable as the LANG gives you the ability to Boost and Cut at different frequencies, unlike the Pultec. There is also a very useful 20 kHz option in the High Peak Boost section that can really be helpful. . Those that are lucky enough to still have them will not let them go. In fact, many have stated that they have become their ́secret weapon ́ and totally rely on them to produce their trademark sound, including Allen Sides, Andrew Scheps and Joe Chiccarelli just to name a few. So, once again, Heritage Audio is on the scene to make this nearly lost treasure available to any and all. After months and months of studying the originals, the PEQ-2 has been reborn and is back by popular demand. The likelihood of encountering one of these 1960 ́s works of art let alone being able to pay the ridiculous prices, is very low.... But not anymore. The LANG PEQ-2 is now available for purchase so grab one while you can....or better yet, grab two for stereo bus use...you will not regret it. While having a very simple and easy layout, the PEQ-2 can be deceiving as it is actually capable of some very extreme processing all while maintaining the musicality of your signal. With independent controls for Boost and Droop (Cut) for both the High and Low bands you can quickly transform your material in interesting, creative ways that you have almost certainly never considered before and are not even possible with the Pultec design. Once you’ve tried moulding your mixes with these you’ll wonder how you ever managed before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ability to boost and cut at the same or similar frequencies produces exciting new equalized response curves. Experimentation is key, but you will quickly realize just how powerful this feature can be. Within no time the PEQ-2 will most likely become one of your most used studio tools. The sheer power if offers with the ease and speed of achieving results is impressive...and addictive. Not only does the PEQ-2 offer Low Shelf boost and cut control and High Shelf cut, but it also has a High Peak Boost with a completely variable Q (Bandwidth) setting that spans from Sharp to Broad to cover any needs. What’s more, the range of Boost actually varies depending on what your selected Bandwidth setting is to offer a very smooth and natural response at all times... Very clever indeed. And like all the Heritage Audio products, the LANG PEQ-2 comes equipped with custom audio transformers at the Input and Output to make sure you always have a powerful, solid, noise-free signal to work with.

Channels 1 \u0026amp; 2 of the 5024 feature a high-Z input designed for instrument level sources. Channels 3 \u0026amp; 4 feature an M-S switch, which enables Mid-Side decoding without the use of multiple console channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMicrophone Input\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe microphone input is balanced but not floating, using a Transformer-Like-Amplifier (T.L.A.) configuration with a toroidal Common Mode Rejection Low Pass Filter that excludes frequencies above 150 kHz. The T.L.A. is followed by an actual input transformer designed by Mr. Neve that permits a full +25 dBu input signal to be handled at unity gain without an input pad over the whole audio spectrum. This innovative solution combines the advantages of both an electronically-balanced and true transformer input.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen the Phantom voltage is switched off, this input serves as a very high quality line input with an impedance of 10K Ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLow Noise, Low Distortion Operation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMuch care was given in designing the 5024 to produce as little noise and non-harmonic distortion as possible. Carefully implemented signal paths and Class A operation are a large part of the 5024′s sweet, whisper-quiet performance.\u003cbr\u003e\nAll Portico modules use input and output transformers and almost entirely discrete component amplifiers. In fact, the Line amplifiers on their own, inserted into the signal chain, are capable of enhancing the sonic quality of many signal sources, especially those of digital origin. These are some of the factors that enable the Portico 5024 to work so unobtrusively within the context of a very high quality audio chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy Transformers?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fine subtleties of circuit design relating to sonic performance are gradually becoming more clearly understood. For example, research has shown conclusively that frequencies above 20kHz affect the way in which humans perceive sound quality. But long before scientific evidence emerged, a substantial body of musicians and engineers knew that equipment with apparently the same technical measurements could sound very different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncredibly small amounts of musically dissonant odd harmonics can have a disastrous effect on the sound quality. Extraneous noise or interference that finds its way into a signal path seriously impairs performance of the whole chain. Since many control rooms make use of outboard gear that is not well protected from external signals, poor grounding of such equipment can be a serious problem. “Electronically balanced” circuits, much-used in modern equipment, can give very good measurements on the test bench but they do not provide adequate rejection of the stray fields found in every working environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo correct these issues, input and output circuits must be freed from ground dependence so that only the wanted signal enters and leaves the processing path. Transformers are the ideal solution. The sweet and silky sound of Mr. Neve’s classic designs was achieved with big transistors and large high quality transformers. Rupert Neve Designs’ Portico modules achieve similar quality today without the bulk or the cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn order for modules to work together as would be expected (i.e. in a proprietary console configuration) without producing hum, R.F. interference, or other interactions, the connecting interfaces, grounding, levels and impedances must receive careful attention. Each Portico module is a complete integral signal processor that delivers its specified performance independently.
