Setup
When more really does mean more.
The key is - Electro- Mechanical Reactive Linking (ERL)
Unlike an extension cabinet - which sits after your output section, the
IRT-X sits BETWEEN your amps output section and your amps
speaker and cleverly mimics the response characteristics of your amp
and speaker combination.
Unlike most guitar speakers, which are commonly, rolled off above
4Khz the IRT-X houses a high quality flat response 8” Driver and a
1”Compression Driver. As soon as you connect the IRT-X, YOUR
guitar tone has the capability for far more highs and lows, which means
more tone!
Used in its most straightforward application the IRT-X gives you more
of YOUR tone! More of your guitar - more of your amp!
And since it's YOUR tone what better than to use it as your own
personal guitar monitor on stage – every gigging musician has run into
problems hearing themselves on stage.
The IRT-X gives YOU the solution to hearing YOUR own tone on
stage.
Better tone that you can hear – it's a win-win situation!
JUST MORE OF YOUR TONE
THE BEST SIGNAL PATH
Guitar players love effects but sometimes they can get in the way of
YOUR tone – the best tone is the simplest tone.
The IRT-X houses a stereo FX loop!
Plug YOUR effects into the IRT-X and YOU get all the benefit of your
unadulterated guitar tone – with effects only in the IRT-X giving YOU a
Wet/Dry set up – or return your FX into both the IRT-X and YOUR
amps FX loop and run a truly massive stereo set up.
The IRT-X can be scaled up to fit even the biggest rigs, with 2 IRT-X's
YOU can run true W/D/W rigs with amazing sonic implications –it's like
SONIC 3D!
The IRT-X has a super compact footprint which means YOU can have a
massive sound on even the smallest stage, used in wedge mode or on a
pole-stand.
Onstage Micing
Mic-ing the IRT-X is simple! The IRT-X comes equipped with an XLR DI
out! Which can be sent directly to the PA and provides either a
completely dry signal, or can be cabinet emulated - with or without FX!
Emulation options include Dry, 1x12 or 4x12, so there is no need to use
a mic & stand, which on a tight stage is great news.
The on-board DI also means YOU get the same great tone night after
night, venue after venue – no more relying on mic placements!
Running a high tech DSP modelling setup?
Then the IRT-X is for you
The use of hi tech modelling setups requires some specific
considerations when it comes to amplification. The IRT-X is ideally
suited to pairing with a modelling processor or DSP based DAW
package as the IRT-X has a completely flat, full range frequency response.
Meaning YOUR carefully modelled signal path is not re-EQ'd during the
amplification process.
