Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
From Two Notes Audio Engineering
Two notes Audio Engineering is proud to introduce the Torpedo Live, the optimized for live playing version of the critically-acclaimed Torpedo hardware series. This product has been developed through years of technical research, with great attention to the needs of guitarists, bassists and sound technicians confronted with the challenges of miking instrument amplifiers, on stage or in the studio. Our goal is to provide ease of use, reliability, versatility and above all, perfect audio quality.
The Torpedo technology was created as an answer to the high pressure musicians have to deal with: lack of time, limited gear availability, loud amplifiers that can’t be played at desired volume, as well as bulky and heavy cabinets to carry. In addition, many musicians are more comfortable with their analog amplifier and effect pedals, and don’t want to perform using digital modeling systems, which may compromise their playing style and sound.
For them, the Torpedo Live offers a “virtual” alternative to traditional miking, using a technology derived from the convolution reverberation, to achieve a degree of realism never experienced previously with simulators. The musician simply plugs the Torpedo Live in place of his cabinet, connected to the speaker output of his amplifier, without modifying his usual settings (or connected effect pedals as applicable).
The Torpedo Live comes with a large library of 32 cabinets and 8 microphones among the most commonly used models in the world. You can also upgrade and add many other cabinets through “La Boutique”, our online virtual cabinet store.The virtual miking is achieved by choosing one cabinet and one microphone, and fine-tuning the position of the microphone in front of the cabinet. The Torpedo Live allows the user to assume the role of the sound engineer in a professional studio.
The Torpedo Technology: to bring you realism and playing comfort, Two notes has developed a unique technology based on an adaptation of convolution techniques. Starting with the measurement of an actual cabinet + microphone setup, the Torpedo Live can accurately reproduce the system as it was measured, as well as the microphone’s position in space. In order to take full advantage of these digital algorithms, the highestquality audio design assures a perfect analog-to-digital conversion and a huge dynamic range to retain the ultimate playing experience.
This product has been thoroughly tested in professional studio and stage environments and is the alternative many musicians were waiting for, to achieve a professional sound capture of their amplified instruments. The Torpedo Live will give you the elusive sound of the greatest recording studios and producers, anytime, anywhere.
