The TAD-C1000 is an accomplished preamplifier from TAD, built with comprehensive balanced connectivity and near-immeasurable distortion. The TAD-C1000 brings TAD's considered engineering to dedicated line-level signal control.
Key specs that matter
Four balanced XLR inputs and two single-ended inputs are provided, with two balanced and two single-ended outputs. Gain is a modest 12dBu - a low figure suited to precise level matching. Frequency response spans a wide 10Hz to 100,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is a near-immeasurable 0.003%. At 440 x 150 x 424mm and 17kg, the TAD-C1000 represents a substantial preamplifier commitment reflecting TAD's considered engineering standards.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, transparent signal handling reflecting the near-immeasurable 0.003% distortion figure, consistent with TAD's broader accomplished engineering philosophy.
Pairing
TAD's broader power amplifier catalogue, including the TAD-M700 and TAD-M1000TX, offers natural, brand-coherent pairings for a coherently voiced, entirely TAD-based system.
Alternatives
TAD's broader electronics catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting a different configuration.
