Tonehunter and SPL

The Transducer is a cooperative developmental effort between the guitar amp firm of Tonehunter and SPL. It brings together many years of experience from the professional music scene, combining specialized knowledge of electric guitarists and SPL‘s established interna- tional reputation in the research and development of analog studio electronics. This mutual effort of these two firms has been the basis for new ideas such as the unique Transducer concept, which has the potential to revolutionize the working life of both the electric guitarist and the recording studio engineer.

Tonehunter

The firm Tonehunter has over 15 years of experience pursuing the goal of fulfilling the sonic wishes of professional electric guitarists. This includes tube amplifiers, effects units, support for live and studio sessions as well as custom set designs from instruments, cables and effects machines to pickups, amps and speaker cabinets. The Tonehunter team is comprised exclusively of musicians with extensive audio engineering backgrounds who, in contact with their customers, are always at the forefront of new, no-compromise developments that fulfill the highest user expectations.

SPL – Sound Performance Lab

SPL boasts over 20 years of experience in the development and production of analog and digital audio processing equipment in the professional music, film, multimedia and broad- casting industries. Our products enjoy a first rank, worldwide reputation for innovation, user friendliness and consistently superior performance.

To SPL’s technological milestones belong the first level-independent analog dynamic enve- lope shaping tool (the “Transient Designer”), the pioneering introduction in 1998 of the first discrete 5.1 surround recording system (“Atmos 5.1“) and the development of the SPL SUPRA OpAmps with an unprecedented operating voltage of 120 Volts. These SUPRA OpAmps form the basis for SPL‘s Mastering Series for stereo and multi-channel applications and with their performance set new benchmarks in audio signal processing that are clearly a step beyond all existing analog or digital audio formats.

Transducer

The SPL Transducer is an analog cabinet and miking simulator for guitar amplifiers. 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).

Do you want to record a fully torqued tube amp in a hotel at night? You’ll stay: with head- phones virtually inaudible to anyone else, soundwise with stunning authenticity, and with the direct response of latency-free analog gear. The Transducer‘s purely analog design and strictly selected components are the key to its extremely fast and complex sonic processing

–latency problems simply do not exist! It thereby gives the guitarist a direct response with an authentic punch. The analog simulation is so lavishly designed and constructed that even the most subtle guitar amp nuances are reproduced. With just a few adjustments the engineer has at his or her disposal a first class guitar signal for either studio recording sessions or in a live P. A. mix.
