Fuchs Audio Technology, a company founded by Andy with over 40 years of experience in the music industry, has just launched its first product in a new series of studio and sound reinforcement gear. The FTDI-1 is a tube DI unit that stands out from other options on the market due to its compact design and ability to run at True High Voltage.
The FTDI-1 features a 12AX7 tube and comes with selected low noise Ruby Tubes, making it an affordable option for musicians looking for a high-quality tube DI unit. It includes a quarter-inch input and a buffered “through” output, as well as an Edcor transformer balanced output, all connected via Neutrik connectors. Despite its small size and lightweight design, the unit has a window that lights up to display the 12AX7 audio tube and is powered by a regulated switch-mode power supply that can work with any pedal power supply capable of delivering 500ma at 9 volts.
Fuchs Audio Technology is known for its impressive list of reviews and endorsements spanning two decades, including names like Carlos Santana, Jimmy Herring, Dave Stryker, and Vic Juris. The company is also working on developing other studio and professional sound products, including microphone preamps. With its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, Fuchs Audio Technology continues to be a trusted brand in the music industry.
