TFPRO, their stuff is red - there's no mistaking it really, red, red, red. And good sounding too. Sounds Expo once again, we talked to Danny Fletcher, son of the legendary Ted Fletcher, he who designed many of the classic Joe Meek range - which were green btw. TFPRO were showing their new 16X Multi channel CurrentSensing mic/line pre amplifier. What is CurrentSensing you ask? Well it's a technology unique to TFPRO stuff - and EMU (more on that in a mo), that allows the mic preamp to figure out exactly what impedance to run at to get the best from the microphone currently (geddit?) plugged in. This means that mics such as ribbons - which require a very specific impedance to get the best from them - and they are worth it, get just what they need to work at optimum efficiency. Each channel of the 16X features a 26db pad, 48V phantom, 75Hz high pass filter, phase reverse, and a clear 5LED meter. Microphone control is staggering, with a well useable gain swing of 75dB, and smooth control, right down to mute (Setting the gain control to minimum mutes the relevant signal). The CurrentSense technology has obviously impressed, as EMU are using them in their new audio interfaces as mic amps of choice. The new 1820 and 1820M products each feature multiple pro quality 24bit inputs and outputs, midi, firewire, ADAT, S/PDIF and sync capabilities for an amazingly low price, and are set to redefine the quality and capability of entry level recording. Key features though are the specially designed TFPRO pre amplifiers - scaled down versions of the TFPRO CurrentSensing designs, but capable of huge gain range and optimal quality.
