Welcome TFPro

Welcome to the TFPRO site, home of equipment designed by me, Ted Fletcher, and all hand-made here in the UK. Within this site you will find information on our British made microphone pre amplifiers, compressors and equalisers all utilising uncompromising design and build quality, the best of the past with some original thinking as well.

(NOTE TO FORUM USERS......  I have had to introduce authorisation from me because of attempted abuse...... this does introduce a bit of a delay..... but it saves a lot of time cleaning up the forum!)

New Product: P38v8 'Legacy' Stereo Compressor

The LEGACY is a stereo 'opto' compressor solidly made in the UK.  It is affordable by the smaller studio, but with full LEGACY performance instantly recognisable as superior to any regular compressors. The 'LEGACY' is presently out of stock. Click here to read more.... and hear a demo!

Ted's most versatile compressor to date

P110 STUDIO RECORDING CHANNEL

How do you get that very special voice sound?

It’s no secret that the secret to voice recording is attention to detail…. But it’s essential to have the quality there at all stages, especially right at the beginning, in the studio, when the original voice is recorded.

The mic amp is not ‘life or death’, it’s much more important than that!  The new P110 has transformer inputs of course, it uses multiple stages of amplification so that gain is kept low and the transient distortions that occur in most audio amplifiers are eliminated.  The vital compressor, essential for glueing the sound together, is optical and the EQ section is a tried and tested design using discrete amplifiers.

Although it’s new, the P110 behaves like an old friend, adaptable, comfortable and easy to use. Developed from the very successful P10, it’s a new classic, a sure way to produce sounds with body and presence in a digital world.

Welcome

The forums are full of comments and questions from engineers asking why their recordings don’t sound ‘right’ when they are following the directions and using the right gear.  Why does an apple pie from a supermarket not taste anything like as good as one that grandmother made? The answers are remarkably similar! 

The supermarket pie has ‘uniformity’ processed into it; the ingredients may be pure and wholesome, but they are bland and ‘safe’. There are additives to preserve and packaging to enhance, the final result is pale and uninteresting.

Digital equipment is designed by engineers who firmly believe that the ‘quality’ of a sound can be defined and measured, but great engineers know that there is much more to sound than that! 

The TFPRO P38 range….,  definitive optical compressors;  compressors that brings out mood and feeling.

The TFPRO P9….. Ted’s definitive equaliser; it brings warmth and life.

The TFPRO P10….. The ‘Mighty Twin’, glorious transformer coupled recording channels.

The TFPRO M16…..  Fine mic amps and mixing, a formidable combination; redesigned version 2 now available.

The range of TFPRO equipment is the result of a new look at the performance and design requirements of the 21st century record producer; a way of using the great tools and techniques of the past, and maintain the standards that are essential today
