Tone King Ironman II 100-watt Reactive Power Attenuator

Description: Safeguard Your Tone at Any Volume The Tone King Ironman II is a power attenuator. It enables you to operate your amplifier at max capacity without shaking the rafters. But it’s much more than a simple volume knob. The Ironman II boasts a tuned reactive impedance curve that approximates a real speaker load, along with transformer-coupled attenuation circuitry that preserves the tone and feel of your amp. The result is natural power-tube distortion at bedroom- and studio-friendly volume levels. Benefit from a bevy of player-friendly goodies, such as a DI output with analog cabinet simulation, dummy load capability, dual impedance controls, and more. Whether you want to dial back your amp’s volume in your practice space or go cab-free in the studio, the Ironman II will safeguard every nuance of your hard-earned tone.Tuned reactive load preserves your amp’s sound and feel A real speaker’s load isn’t stagnant or even linear.

Whether you want to dial back your amp’s volume in your practice space or go cab-free in the studio, the Ironman II will safeguard every nuance of your hard-earned tone.Tuned reactive load preserves your amp’s sound and feel A real speaker’s load isn’t stagnant or even linear. Rather, it varies with frequency. For example, the impedance of an 8-ohm speaker may rise as high as 60 ohms at its resonant frequency — and again at high frequencies. An amplifier responds differently when driving a complex load like this. That’s why attenuators that use simple resistive loads suck the tone and feeling out of your amp. The Ironman II takes this into account, employing a reactive load circuit that matches the impedance curve of an actual speaker. The result? You’ll sound and feel like you’re pushing serious air — at any volume.Transformer-coupled attenuation safeguards your tone at every volume Many power attenuators employ resistor ladders. This isn’t ideal for two reasons. First of all, the resistor ladder itself can become part of the load, causing your amplifier to see a simple resistive load, which results in tone suckage. Secondly, by dividing power in this manner, a voltage divider is effectively formed between the dividing network and your speaker. This disturbs the frequency-dependent nature of your speaker’s impedance, which again leads to tone suckage. The Tone King Ironman II takes these issues into account by employing transformer-coupled circuitry at each stage of attenuation. This elaborate design safeguards your tone, no matter your volume level.Loads of player-friendly goodies The guitarists at Sweetwater are impressed by the number of features that Tone King has packed into the Ironman II. A balanced XLR output with analog cabinet simulation and a built-in dummy load make performing and recording without a speaker easy. Dual impedance controls — one for your amplifier input and one for your speaker output — enable you to match your speaker to your amplifier, even if the speaker impedance differs from your amplifier’s. Solo mode, which can be activated via the included footswitch, is ideal for achieving a volume boost when it’s time to shred. A Presence switch gives you subtle control over brightness and compression. Bypass mode disables the attenuation circuitry, disconnecting it from your signal path. You also get a line-out jack that can be used to drive another amplifier, mixer, audio interface, and more.Tone King Ironman II Attenuator Features: 100-watt precision-compensated reactive power attenuator Tuned reactive load circuit matches the impedance curve of an actual speaker Transformer-coupled attenuation safeguards your tone at every volume Balanced XLR output with analog cabinet simulation and a built-in dummy load Dual impedance controls enable you to match your speaker to your amplifier Solo mode is ideal for achieving a volume boost when it’s time to shred (footswitch included) Presence switch supplies subtle control over brightness and compression Bypass mode disables the attenuation circuitry, disconnecting it from your signal path Line Out jack can be used to drive another amplifier, mixer, audio interface, and more SpecificationDetail Type Reactive Load Power Handling 100W RMS Max Impedance 4/8/16 ohms Attenuation 6-way switch, 0dB - 38dB Inputs 1 x 1/4" (powered signal in) Outputs 2 x 1/4" (to speaker), 1 x 1/4" (line out), 1 x XLR (DI out) Other I/O 1 x 1/4" (footswitch) Power Source 12V DC power supply (included) Height 3.75" Width 9.5" Depth 10.25" Weight 15 lbs.
