Product Description
Radial EXTC Stereo 2-channel Active Re-amping Device
The Radial EXTC Stereo is an advanced 2-channel active re-amping device designed for integrating effects processors into your recording setup. It allows you to take pre-recorded tracks and re-process them through external effects units, offering unparalleled flexibility in mixing and sound design. Featuring a high-quality active design, the EXTC Stereo ensures pristine audio performance and minimal signal degradation. The device is equipped with a variable output stereo effects loop, enabling precise control over signal levels and effects processing.
The Radial EXTC Stereo is a cutting-edge 2-channel active re-amping device that excels in integrating external effects processors into your recording and mixing setup. Designed to provide unparalleled flexibility and high-quality audio performance, the EXTC Stereo is ideal for professional audio engineers, producers, and musicians who want to enhance their sound design capabilities.
Re-Amping Technology
At its core, the Radial EXTC Stereo is engineered to convert line-level signals into instrument-level signals, a process known as re-amping. This allows you to take pre-recorded tracks and route them through external effects processors, such as distortion pedals, reverbs, or delays, which can add unique textures and sonic characteristics that can be difficult to achieve with in-the-box plugins alone.
Stereo Operation
The device features true stereo operation, which means it can handle two channels simultaneously. This capability is essential for maintaining the stereo image of your recordings and processing both channels with effects in a cohesive manner. Whether you’re working with stereo mixes or multi-track recordings, the EXTC Stereo ensures that your effects processing is consistent and accurate across both channels.
Variable Output
One of the standout features of the EXTC Stereo is its variable output. The device includes an adjustable output level control that allows you to fine-tune the signal level sent to your external effects processors. This flexibility is crucial for matching the output levels of various effects units and achieving the desired sound without introducing distortion or noise.
High-Quality Audio Performance
The EXTC Stereo is built with high-quality active circuitry designed to preserve the integrity of your audio signal. The active design minimizes signal degradation and ensures that your sound remains clear and accurate throughout the re-amping process. With a wide frequency response range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a low total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 0.005%, the EXTC Stereo delivers pristine audio performance that meets the demands of professional studios.
Rugged Construction
Durability is a key aspect of the EXTC Stereo’s design. Constructed with robust, roadworthy components, the device is built to withstand the rigors of live performances and studio use. Its metal chassis and reliable controls ensure that it can handle the demands of both on-stage and studio environments.
Ease of Use
The EXTC Stereo is designed with simplicity in mind. The intuitive layout and straightforward controls make it easy to integrate into your existing setup. Whether you’re re-amping a single track or processing an entire mix, the device offers a user-friendly experience that allows you to focus on creativity rather than technical complexities.
In summary, the Radial EXTC Stereo is an essential tool for any audio professional looking to expand their sonic palette and integrate external effects with ease. Its combination of high-quality audio performance, flexible re-amping capabilities, and rugged construction makes it a valuable addition to any recording or mixing setup.
