Transducer
The scope of delivery comprises the Transducer, the power cable and the manual. Please keep
the original packaging. In case of a service procedure the original packaging ensures a safe
transport. It also serves as a safe packaging for your own transports if you do not use special
transportation cases.
Tonehunter and SPL
The Transducer is a cooperative developmental effort between the guitar amp fi rm of
Tonehunter and SPL. It brings together many years of experience from the professional music
scene, combining specialized knowledge of electric guitarists and SPL‘s established interna-
tional reputation in the research and development of analog studio electronics. This mutual
effort of these two fi rms has been the basis for new ideas such as the unique Transducer
concept, which has the potential to revolutionize the working life of both the electric guitarist
and the recording studio engineer.
Tonehunter
The fi rm Tonehunter has over 15 years of experience pursuing the goal of fulfi lling the sonic
wishes of professional electric guitarists. This includes tube amplifi ers, effects units, support
for live and studio sessions as well as custom set designs from instruments, cables and
effects machines to pickups, amps and speaker cabinets. The Tonehunter team is comprised
exclusively of musicians with extensive audio engineering backgrounds who, in contact with
their customers, are always at the forefront of new, no-compromise developments that fulfi ll
the highest user expectations.
SPL – Sound Performance Lab
SPL boasts over 20 years of experience in the development and production of analog and
digital audio processing equipment in the professional music, fi lm, multimedia and broad-
casting industries. Our products enjoy a fi rst rank, worldwide reputation for innovation, user
friendliness and consistently superior performance.
To SPL’s technological milestones belong the fi rst level-independent analog dynamic enve-
lope shaping tool (the “Transient Designer”), the pioneering introduction in 1998 of the fi rst
discrete 5.1 surround recording system (“Atmos 5.1“) and the development of the SPL SUPRA
OpAmps with an unprecedented operating voltage of 120 Volts. These SUPRA OpAmps form
the basis for SPL‘s Mastering Series for stereo and multi-channel applications and with their
performance set new benchmarks in audio signal processing that are clearly a step beyond all
existing analog or digital audio formats.
Transducer
The SPL Transducer is an analog cabinet and miking simulator for guitar amplifi ers. In studio
and on stage the Transducer replaces the guitar speaker cabinet and microphone(s) so that
the time and resource-intensive microphone processing of this loud sonic source is no longer
necessary. In addition the Transducer offers much more sonic fl exibility and variety than a
single mike and cabinet setup because it allows for varied speaker and mike simulations
while allowing to retain accustomed features of individual setups (such as the ability to vary
level-dependent loudspeaker characteristics and microphone distances).
Do you want to record a fully torqued tube amp in a hotel at night? You’ll stay: with head-
phones virtually inaudible to anyone else, soundwise with stunning authenticity, and with
the direct response of latency-free analog gear. The Transducer‘s purely analog design and
strictly selected components are the key to its extremely fast and complex sonic processing
– latency problems simply do not exist! It thereby gives the guitarist a direct response with an
authentic punch. The analog simulation is so lavishly designed and constructed that even the
most subtle guitar amp nuances are reproduced. With just a few adjustments the engineer
has at his or her disposal a fi rst class guitar signal for either studio recording sessions or in a
live P. A. mix.
