Custom STL transformer is rich and dynamic

The transformer is where the rubber meets the road in a passive DI box. And fortunately, Samson's custom STL transformer delivers in the MD1. The STL covers the full audible spectrum and beyond, able to capture all the subharmonic richness of a synth and high-end detail of an acoustic guitar and carry it noise-free to your mixing board or interface.

Steel chassis is built for the road

The Samson MD1's 14-gauge steel housing resists noise and stage abuse to keep your events running smooth night after night. Musiekwereld knows sound professionals can expect years of performance from their Samson MD1.
