TAPCO DI-1A and DI-1P Direct Injection Boxes Debut at NAMM

January 20, 2005– Anaheim, Ca. – Today at NAMM, TAPCO introduces the first in a new family of audio accessory products, the DI-1A and DI-1P active and passive direct injection boxes.

The TAPCO DI-1A and DI-1P boxes provide signal and impedance matching for the direct connection of instruments to amplifiers and mixers. In addition, both the DI-1A and DI-1P feature a Thru/Out jack that will allow a clean signal to be sent to any amplifier in addition to a mixer for greater control during live performances.

The DI-1A active model offers the option of power via a 48v Phantom from a mixer or internally via two 9-volt batteries. The DI-1P passive model comes complete with a filter for enhancing bass and guitar sounds.

Featuring a hardy metal chassis with rubber side cheeks for extra durability, the TAPCO Direct Injection boxes are designed for convenient stacking and easy use in live or recorded sound environments.

The TAPCO DI-1A and DI-1P boxes will be available from authorized TAPCO dealers in late Q1, 2005. The DI-1A carries a manufacturers’ suggested retail price of $59, while the DI-1P has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $49. See the entire TAPCO family at the NAMM Convention in Anaheim from January 20-23, 2005. TAPCO is located in booth #6690.
