Much better than a D.I.
Passive and ultra simple.
Great condition.
The F. A. N. T. A. (Frequency Adapted Natural Tone Accessory, say: 'FANTA') Speaker Emulation is a low impedance, balanced, symmetric, transformer coupled output. Just connecte it to the speaker output of your amp; it does not require any power supply or battery. The F.A.N.T.A. has a 3-pin XLR-Connector for a standard microphone cable in order to connect it to a mixing console or a recording system.
The signal runs trough a sophisticated speaker emulation which features a revolutionary unique quality: the emulation is reacting to your playing style! Clean signals will sound clear and bright with only slight compression but if you play distorted then the emulation will sound smooth, punchy and big bottomed with good compression. Just what you would expect from a perfect speaker cabinet.
The F.A.N.T.A. Speaker Emulator includes an isolating transformer and can therefore also be used with mixing console inputs with phantom power without any restrictions.
