{"product_id":"countryman-type-85-active-instrument-direct-box","title":"Countryman Type 85 Mono, Active Instrument Direct Box","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe classic Type 85 connects any high-impedance instrument pickup, even piezo pickups, to a balanced microphone (XLR type) input. It provides a strong, clean signal to the mix board without adding noise or distortion. It won’t change the tone or volume you hear from your own amp like passive direct boxes. It won’t break just when you need it. It won’t develop a dead battery on stage because it runs on Phantom power.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Type 85 simply works. Provide 48 V Phantom power and the Type 85 will automatically use it. If you don’t have Phantom power, the Type 85 will run for about 400 hours from a single internal 9 V battery. The Type 85 doesn’t have roll off switches or effects. Adjusting the frequency content of a sound source is an artistic decision best done at the mixing location where you can hear the results and easily make changes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"entry\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"entry-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz (+\/- 1 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise (Shorted Input): 0.63 uVrms (-122 dBVrms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion (1 VPP in): THD (1 kHz): \u0026lt; 0.018%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIMD (10 kHz\/60 Hz, 4:1): \u0026lt; 0.08%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Options: 48 V Phantom (0.4 mA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 V Battery (400 hours on a typical alkaline)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Protection: 220 Vrms and 20,000 V static discharges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage Gain: Pickup mode: -10 dB, Speaker mode: -46 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRF Filtering: Input: 250 kHz low-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput: 30 kHz low-pass filter, Maximum Input Level (1% THD):\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup mode: 5 Vpp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker mode: 300 Vpp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Equal to 2,800 Watts into 4 Ohms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Resistance: Pickup mode: 10 MOhm (10 times the input impedance of a typical guitar amplifier)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Capacitance: 160 pF (equal to 2 m of low-capacitance guitar cable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 5\" x 3\" x 1.75\" (127 mm x 77 mm x 45 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: (0.52 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"entry\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"entry-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003eTypically ship same or next business day\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/no73VjiutFM\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AVL Direct Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32806351175764,"sku":"","price":333.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0291\/4697\/2244\/products\/TYPE85DIBOXEBAY_1__54448.1511012034.jpg?v=1601092861","url":"https:\/\/avldirectshop.co\/products\/countryman-type-85-active-instrument-direct-box","provider":"AVL Direct Online Store ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
