Little Labs Introduces IBP Analog Phase-Alignment Tool at AES
December 5, 2001
Introducing the IBP (in-between phase) analog phase-alignment tool. Little Labs tackles previously unaddressed problems faced daily in recording sessions. The IBP was designed to help engineers effectively eliminate the undesirable hollow sound when combining out-of-phase and partially out-of-phase audio signals. The IBP will allow engineers to put an audio signal in phase, when the mixing desk's polarity button will not. Whether combining direct and milked signals, drum kit tom-tom mics, or multiple split-guitar amps, audio signals will be put in phase quickly and easily with the Little Labs IBP analog phase-alignment tool.
The Little Labs IBP combines real-time, line-level phase control with audio-phile quality. Additionally, its selectable instrument input stage utilizes the circuitry of the Little Labs Multi Z DI and PCP Instrument Distro.
Simply used as a direct box, the IBP allows a bass player to walk into a session, feed the console desk line level and send a buffered guitar signal out to a combo amp. When levels are brought up to the desk, the bass player himself can tweak the IBP phase-adjust putting the milked and direct tracks in phase, producing a solid in-phase bass sound.
The Little Labs IBP analog phase-alignment tool is available immediately for a suggested retail price of $450.00. For more information, visit their web site at www.littlelabs.com. |
