Handle unwanted noise and high-output signals
Unwanted hum and interference can ruin a mix, especially when working with several pieces of equipment. The FCP1 uses a custom-designed, shielded transformer with galvanic isolation to greatly restrict noise while still maintaining high headroom and low distortion. Its on+ ground lift circuitry also minimises ground-loop hum and radio-frequency interference When working with high-output sources such as guitar and bass amplifiers, the selectable attenuation pad offers -15dB and -30dB settings, limiting the input level to help prevent distortion. It also has a POLAR switch for reversing signal polarity, to address phase-related issues when combining direct and microphone signals with ease.
Save mixer channels with stereo summing
Only have one available mixer channel, but need to connect a stereo instrument? With the FCP1, you get a switchable left-and-right mono summing, letting you blend two channels into one balanced XLR output. This is perfect for keyboards, laptops, media players, and backing tracks when a separate stereo feed isn't required. By combining both signals, you can free up an additional input on your mixing console, audio interface, or stage box. This also includes a dedicated 3.5mm TRS stereo input for connecting compatible playback devices, allowing a straightforward way for routing audio from a laptop without occupying two mixer channels.
Keep your instrument sounding natural
The FCP1 provides a high-impedance input made to minimise the load placed on your instrument, making it retain its natural tonal balance, dynamics, and detail. The input impedance of 650 kohms when the attenuation pad is disengaged provides a simple way to connect guitars, basses, and other instruments to your mixing console or audio interface. The passive circuitry also means there's no need for batteries or phantom power, so you can use it without connecting an additional power source. Just connect your instrument and send the balanced XLR output to your mixer. It's a suitable solution for recording sessions, rehearsals, and live performances.
Designed to suit your stage or studio
When you're putting together a pedalboard or organising a busy stage rack, you need plenty of ways to keep your setup tidy. With its compact 100 x 39 x 127mm enclosure made from heavy-gauge steel, you have enough protection during regular use and transport. The matte-black finish also keeps the unit discreet on stage. For desktop setups, an included non-slip pad keeps it in place, while hook-and-loop pads allow secure pedalboard mounting. Using multiple DI boxes together? The stackable design makes multi-channel setups easier to organise, while the supplied screws allow up to four units to be mounted on a standard 1U rack shelf.
