The Transceiver 2 is a universal insert station both on stage and in the studio. It is a four-channel insert station designed to convert balanced signals to unbalanced and back again without losing any signal quality. Each channel has a send level, a return gain control, a return polarity switch, and a blend control. With the new added blend function, you can choose how much of the inserted effect you want to blend in. The Transceiver 2 is a transformerless balanced design for the best possible signal handling, flat frequency response, and low harmonic distortion + noise. The balanced output has a high driving capability to drive input transformers, and the unbalanced send also has a high driving capability.
