Building upon the success of the
V-Drums electronic percussion systems, Roland has introduced the
new TDA-700 V-Drums Amplifier. The TDA-700 boasts a 300-watt, bi-amp design,
and versatile input/output capabilities.
The TDA-700 is a portable combo-style amplifier with a 240-watt powered
15-inch woofer and 60-watt powered horn driver, yielding 300 watts of total
output power. However, the perceived power of this amplifier is much
greater, thanks to proprietary onboard FFP technology, which maximizes
amplifier efficiency with digital control.
The amplifier's three-channel design provides flexible routing options
and for the connection of multiple input sources. V-Drums owners can simply
connect a single cable from the Headphone output of their sound modules to
Channel 1 of the TDA-700 and enjoy powerful, high-definition drum
sounds - leaving Channels 2 and 3 open for connection to other audio sources.
An Output Select function permits routing of selected input signals to
headphones, headphone + speaker or headphone + speaker + Line output. This
lets drummers run a metronome signal, for example, to headphones and/or the
internal speaker without running it to the house sound system.
The TDA-700 is also easily expandable into a full stereo setup, thanks
to a Stereo Link capability that allows for single-cable connection to a
second TDA-700 with control from the amp that's closest on stage. XLR Line
outputs ensure professional results in both stage and studio applications.
