Radial X-Amp 500 The Antelope Audio interfacesĪmong the several positive features provided by the Antelope Audio interfaces there is also (for selected models) the full support to the Reamp technique both in tracking as well as in mixing phases.Īntelope Orion Studio Synergy Core gives us the possibility to track with up to twelve inputs at Instruments level. It can operate with two outputs at the same time. Radial X-Amp has the same features as the JCR but is provided with an active circuit designed by Radial engineers. It utilizes the original Reamp circuit designed by recording industry legend John Cuniberti, providing exceptional audio quality that preserves every detail of the original recording while optimizing it to feed amplifiers and effects pedals. For Reamp we have the JCR and the X-Amp (with the latter being available for both System 500 standard as well as a separate unit). Since ever Radial comes to help us with several tools very useful for the studio life. They can even be integrated into the audio interfaces. It needs to be processed to go from Line level and impedance (+4 dBu, 10 KOhm) to values compatible with the instrument inputs available on the amplifiers or the pedal effects (-10 dBm, 1MOhm). Unfortunately the signal available at the Line output of the interface it is not suitable to feed the amplifiers. With this procedure the clean track works for the guitar/bass just like the MIDI one does for the keyboards. In this way a clean and reliable signal can be recorded together with the tracks coming from the microphones around the speakers.Īt the mix phase it is obviously possible to use the recorded tracks but, if required, the clean signal can be used to feed a new set of amplifiers to get a sound that can even be very far from the original one.

The DI box must have a Thru output to be able to send the signal to the amplifier. Impedance matching and signal balancing to keep the whole harmonic content of the sound and avoit capturing noises along the pathĪ DI box sample is the RND RNDI that you can find in our store.Level adjust (from Instrument to Mic or Line) to make the signal compatible with the audio interface input’s.This device gets the signal from the instrument and makes to things:

The Reamp works in two phases: track and mix.ĭuring the tracking phase the Engineer has to record the miced tracks plus a clean one.įor the last part he/she needs a Direct Inject box (often known as DI box). Let’s keep this in mind and let’s go back to our problems (how to modify the guitar or bass sound in post production). We typically find 1MOhm (one million of Ohms) which is a lot more than what we find in the Line inputs where we have 10KOhm (ten thousand Ohms). So, finally, the input impedance of the instrument’s amplifier must be very high to properly load the guitar/bass and keep all the nuances of the performance. The result is also influenced by the Tone/Volume circuits and by the quality and the length of the used cable. The resulting circuit has a frequency dependent behavior as well as an impedance value that also depends on the frequency.

The material that makes the wire (copper) implies an electrical resistance.

The space between the wires in the coil yields a capacitive (parasitic) component.

The wrapped wire (the coil) implies an inductive component.

Without getting too technical and simply reasoning about the circuit architecture we can say that:

The pickups are connected to the Tone and Volume controls and, via the cable, to the input of the amplifier (or effects). The magnetic pickups are realized (let’s keep it simple) with a thin metal wire wrapped around a magnetic core. The condition to be verified is that the load impedance connected to the guitar (or bass) has to be a lot greater than the instrument’s output impedance. Well, the principles apply to all the generator-load connections… That was the case of synthesizers but the principles apply also to stringed instruments that use magnetic pickups.

We learned, in a post published a few weeks ago, that the amount of signal delivered over a load by a signal generator depends on the impedances of the two.
