The *perfect* upgrade for your new KT-2A and 2A-KT! The Kenetek Classic T4B gives your KT-2A or 2A-KT that classic sound you thought you were getting when you purchased your unit. This auction is just for the Kenetek T4B. The KT-2A is not included and is shown for demonstration purposes only.
The Kenetek T4B is a drop-in replacement for the stock opto-attenuator that comes in the Klark Teknik KT-2A and 2A-KT. It makes the unit perform more like a vintage LA-2A.
Here is a comment from a recent buyer that sums it all up:
"finally got to swap in the Kenetek. i'm amazed it sounds wayyy smoother and more even transparent than the stock cell.. i've put it through it's paces on a number of sources: acoustic, vocals, bass, drums, strings. i'm totally happy with this upgrade. thanks a lot! best move i've made all year haha. lots of butter with this one!"
Here's another one:
"Hey Bill, I've tested your cell today. I don't have my main vocal mic right now. So I tested with a Gefell MT71s into an GA Pre-73 into the KT-2A. What should I say...It's awesome. It pushed the vocal a little bit more forward, makes it wider and it's like removing a blanket from the unit. I will let you know what it is doing with my main Tube-Mic when I have it back.. Really nice opto so far. Thanks a lot."
And yet another one:
"Well I popped the t4b into the kt-2a, sent +4db in the unit, and made sure that +4db was coming out. and calibrated the meter so that the voltage of -5db matched up with what the vu was reading as 5db of reduction. So I think I’m good? Sounds great!"
And a couple more:
"I have bought many of these because we run a school and have lots of optical compressors to keep up-to-date and after we re did a couple units they sounded so much better we ended up re-doing everything that requires the T4B."
"I haven't had much time with the KT itself to really know what it sounds like stock. But I did throw vintage Mullard tubes in it and it sounded pretty good with the stock cell. BUT, I just dropped your Kenetek cell in and WOAH. It sounds really really good. Nice and smooth. The stock one may have been a little more "pokey" and more sibilant. I put it on a vocal and that's what I was hearing anyway. The new one smooths it out more and has more of a "sound" to it to my ears. That's my first impression anyway. Now if I was better at soldering and all that jazz I'd like to hear it with better capacitors and maybe even better transformers! haha"
