LITTLE LABS STD FEATURES
Little Labs in conjunction with Mercenary introduce the Signal Transmission Device, a guitar/instrument cord line driver. The STD allows you to use long microphone cables or microphone tie lines to extend your guitar or any instrument cable without the loss of tone and increase of noise associated with long instrument cable runs. It also has two outputs for splitting between two amps or between an amp and a direct injection box, with a selectable ground lift on one output to eliminate ground loop problems.

The STD is the perfect solution for: the live player who is tired of the tone sucking wireless rigs but still needs to be able to walk more than ten feet from his amp; the studio player who needs his amplifier in isolation, but himself in close proximity to his band mates; the recording engineer using control room rack mounted direct injection boxes with a player located in the studio or isolation booth.

The single transistor unity gain buffer circuit utilized in the STD is mounted inside the special copper tipped phone plug itself. This elegantly simple buffer circuit was designed to load the instrument pickup properly for a natural frequency response regardless of cable length and also will eliminate susceptibility of the cable to extraneous noise sources. The rugged cast aluminum base unit which sits next to the amp or direct injection box contains the mating circuitry which utilizes high quality audio graded parts, including Elna Cerafine and Dale Vishay. The STD base unit is powered by two nine volt batteries that with regular use will last over one year. Little Labs once again has addressed a common studio and live sound problem with a simple effective and reasonably priced solution.

LITTLE LABS IBP JR. FEATURES
The IBP Junior is the new, economical, basic version of the Little Labs IBP Analog Phase Alignment Tool. The Little Labs family of IBPs (In-between Phase) easily eliminate the undesirable hollow sound when combining out-of-phase and partially out-of-phase audio signals. Designed as a phase problem solving device, the IBP Analog Phase Alignment Tool has quickly become popular among audio engineers as not only a "fix it" tool but as a controlling audio phase creative, tonal color tool. Whether combining direct and miked signals, acoustic guitar and vocal mics, drum kit tom-tom mics, or multiple split-guitar amps, audio signals phase can be quickly and easily controlled with the Little Labs IBP Junior Analog Phase Alignment Tool.

• Real time all analog phase sweep between zero and one hundred and eighty degrees... and everything in-between.
• Allows mics to be placed where they sound best individually,compromising mic placement due to phase problems is not necessary when using the IBP.
• +4dB XLR balanced input and outputs.
• Rack mountable 4 IBPs fit in a 1U 19" standard rack space.
• Extremely high quality construction.
• Made in the U.S.A.

LITTLE LABS RED EYE FEATURES
The Red Eye is a passive "re-amp" box/direct box with unique expansion capabilities. The high quality passive direct box in the Red Eye features phase reverses and earth lift. At the push of a button the Red Eye converts from a direct box into a re-amp box with its own input and output connectors. The re-amp in the Red Eye features earth lift, phase reverse, and level control.

Daisy-chaining multiple rack-mountable Red Eyes (4 units fit a 1U space), with the supplied expansion in and out rear jacks and front panel expansion button, opens up the further creative potential of the Red Eye. Multiple guitar level impedance outputs can be created from a single balanced line level source, allowing you to correctly interface multiple vintage effect pedals or re-amp to multiple guitar amps. When used with any active direct box, whether it be a Little Labs Multi Z DI or other brands such as Avalon, Demeter or Evil Twin, the Red Eye creates a superb quality guitar level/impedance multiple output guitar splitter with as many outputs as Red Eyes in the rack. The Red Eye also can be used as an expansion box, creating extra transformer-isolated guitar level/impedance outputs for the popular Little Labs PCP Instrument Distro.

The heart of the Red Eye is a Little Labs custom wound transformer. This transformer was chosen for its sonic characteristics and is made with the same core material and winding technique as the legendary UTC transformers found in many classic pro audio devices.
