About Countryman Type 10S

For professionals seeking superior audio performance, the Type 10S Stereo Direct Box is an industry-leading solution. This high-quality, two-channel variant of the renowned Type 10 direct box is specifically designed to cater to the unique requirements of stereo and two-channel users.

The Type 10S is equipped with a rock-solid transformer isolation that effectively eliminates hum, buzz, and RF interference, ensuring crystal-clear audio even over long XLR runs. Unlike other direct boxes that offer low distortion over a limited range of frequencies and levels, the Type 10S delivers the highest signal-to-noise ratio, the lowest phase deviation, and the lowest distortion across the entire audio band. This ensures your sound is rendered with exceptional fidelity, regardless of the input voltages.

The versatility of the Type 10S Stereo Direct Box is unmatched. It is engineered to withstand less-than-ideal conditions on the road, including noisy electrical systems and mix boards positioned at great distances. Whether or not you have phantom power, this reliable direct box is designed to drive any board across hundreds of feet of cable, guaranteeing consistently great sound in any environment.

The Type 10S is a testament to Countryman's obsession with quality and durability. Encased in an extra-thick architectural aluminum housing, this direct box is virtually indestructible. It can withstand static spikes and even survive with the input connected directly to 110V or 220V line voltage.

The Type 10S Stereo Direct Box also introduces new features that enhance its usability. The -15 dB pad can handle sizzling hot outputs from active keyboards with virtually immeasurable distortion. The battery is easily accessible with the edge of a coin, and the quality of the phantom power can be monitored with the flip of a switch.

In the world of direct boxes, the Type 10S Stereo Direct Box by Countryman stands out, delivering unparalleled performance, versatility, and durability. It's not just a direct box; it's a sound investment in your audio equipment arsenal.
