Classic DI+

WHY DOES THE CLASSIC DI ROCK? LOAD CONTROL™. TONAL VARIETY. CREATIVE OPTIONS.

OH, AND IT’S PASSIVE.

AudioScape ‘THE CLASSIC’ DI BOX - MUCH MORE THAN JUST A ‘TOOL’

AudioScape's newest addition to the AudioScape lineup, THE ‘CLASSIC DI’ BOX featuring an industry first, the LOAD CONTROL™, Point-to-Point wiring throughout, NOS Allen-Bradley Carbon Comp Resistors, and a Custom OPTO COMP Transformer (to name only a few amongst its impressive feature-set). The ‘CLASSIC DI’ Box features AudioScape's curiously unique and awesomely variable LOAD CONTROL™ and a handy ATTENUATION CONTROL.

To top it all off, the ‘CLASSIC DI’ Box is a COMPLETELY Passive, Custom Transformer design and requires no power to operate.

THE LOAD CONTROL™

AudioScape is the first company to include a unique LOAD CONTROL™ circuit to a DI BOX (to the best of their knowledge, haha!). The LOAD CONTROL™ affects frequency response, changes apparent headroom, adds slight saturation, and a tasteful dose of non-linear audio bacon to any source ran through its meticulously hand-wired custom circuit.

The CLASSIC DI is fitted with twists inside and out - on the rear you will find an XLR MIC INPUT which allows you to experiment with different dynamic and/or ribbon microphones and their inherited tonal properties by changing the amount of “loading” on the transformer via their unique LOAD CONTROL™ circuitry!

Endless Creative Coloration Options when Tracking with Dynamic or Ribbon Microphones

Easily run dynamic/ribbon microphones through it, send line-level sources through it for some sweet dosing of REAL IRON - OR! plug a guitar, bass, drum machine, or synth into it and capture a vividly beautiful DI sound - with some extra “vibe” on the side that can be dialed in to taste…! The unique “LOAD CONTROL” - effectively changes the “load” that the custom iron is undertaking. Lower settings can get a bit darker, while higher settings yield a subtly more aggressive tonal shift, with the lower and upper mids being most affected - how cool is that!?

Handcrafted in the USA - Legendary Circuits deserve Legendary Craftsmanship

AudioScape builds and assembles each of their products by hand at their workshop in Florida, using NOS and USA-made components wherever possible, and never compromising or making concessions to any aspect of the build or more importantly, the SONICS for the sake of profit margins or simple convenience. They strongly believe this is the right way - if not the only way - to produce these units at the level of quality they strive for, while still making them available to as many of their customers as possible. Every product comes with a HASSLE-FREE TWO-YEAR WARRANTY, and AudioScape prides itself on providing the best customer service in the biz!
