The Torpedo Captor X comes with a large library of 32 cabinets and 8 perfectly matched microphones
per cabinet. You can also upgrade and add many other cabinets through the Two notes Store, our
online virtual cabinet store. The virtual miking is achieved by choosing one cabinet and two
microphones, and fine-tuning the position of each microphone in front (or behind) of the cabinet. The
Torpedo Captor X allows the user to assume the role of the sound engineer in a professional studio.

The Torpedo Technology: To bring you realism and playing comfort, Two notes has developed a
unique technology based on an adaptation of convolution techniques. Starting with the measurement
of an actual c microphone setup, the Torpedo Captor X can accurately reproduce the system
as it was measured, as well as the microphone's position in space. In order to take full advantage of
these digital algorithms, the highest quality audio design assures a perfect analog-to-digital
conversion and a huge dynamic range to retain the ultimate playing experience.

This product has been thoroughly tested in professional studios and stage environments and is the
alternative many musicians are looking for, to achieve a professional sound capture of their amplified
instruments. The Torpedo Captor X will give you the elusive sound of the greatest recording studios
and producers, anytime, anywhere.

3.2 Only A Speaker Simulator?

The Torpedo Captor X is a standalone unit you can bring with you in any situation, whenever silent
playing is needed or if you wish to control the level coming out of your cabinet.

The role of the Torpedo Captor X is to replace the following elements of the traditional guitar or bass
setup:

the speaker cabinet;
the microphone; and
the microphone preamplifier and certain individual outboard effects

In order to provide a signal that is the closest possible to a traditional guitar/bass miking in a
professional studio environment.

The miking is achieved in 3 steps with the Torpedo Captor X:

Choose a speaker cabinet and a microphone;

1.

Position the microphone inside the virtual environment; and

2.

Shape the signal (EQ, Enhancer, Twin Tracker, Reverb)

3.

At each step, Two notes Audio Engineering implements its vast experience to offer the most advanced
simulations available and ensure absolute realistic quality both for the musician (in terms of playing
feel and reaction) and for the listener (in terms of sound quality). You can load up to 32 Two notes
cabinets into the Torpedo Captor X. Download the free Torpedo Remote software (Mac OS X and
Windows PC) from the 

Two notes Audio Engineering

 website, and you will be able to add or remove

cabinets to and from the Captor X. There are currently more than 350 Two notes cabinets available in
the Two notes Store that you can try in real time and purchase with Torpedo Remote (requires a
working Internet connection).
