TL Audio VI-1 – 8-Channel Valve Interface

The TL Audio VI-1 is an 8-channel unit designed to connect between a recording console (or preamps) and an audio interface. Each channel maintains unity gain, ensuring signal levels remain unchanged throughout the unit. At the same time, each channel includes a valve stage that imparts the audio signal with the characteristic warmth of valve circuitry.This combination offers a blend of pristine digital clarity and valve sound character, while the unit remains straightforward to operate. The VI-1 has various applications, from serving as a front end for A/D conversion to acting as a warming device during in-the-box mixing.
