Tapco also introduced the first in a new family of audio accessory products, the DI-1A and DI-1P active and passive direct injection boxes. These boxes provide signal and impedance matching for the direct connection of instruments to amplifiers and mixers. In addition, both feature a Thru/Out jack to allow a clean signal to be sent to any amplifier in addition to a mixer for greater control during live performances.
The DI-1A active model offers the option of power via a 48V phantom from a mixer or internally via two 9V batteries. The DI-1P passive model comes complete with a filter for enhancing bass and guitar sounds.
Finally, Tapco announced updates to its live sound amplifiers and processors, to be released later in 2005. The Juice Series of amplifiers, the Squeeze SQ·2 compressor/gate and the Tweeq T-231 31-band EQ are all to get enhanced performance, new features and a new look.
