West Des Moines, IA (November 15, 2014) – GMF Music is proud to announce the Ai1, an innovative DI with preamp. The Ai1 is a studio quality DI with preamp that has been road tested by professional musicians. We designed the Ai1 with uncompromising sound quality and included features for musicians on the go.

On stage? Great, this Preamp/DI has been road tested by professional musicians for quality and durability. You will be able to dial in your clear natural acoustic sound and route it through a balanced XLR output or unbalanced standard line output to the PA sound system.

Not on stage? Not a problem, the Ai1 Preamp/DI is also designed so you can connect your acoustic instrument into your home theater system or any sound source with stereo RCA compatible inputs. With the optional 1/8 inch to RCA adapter you can even use your car stereo as your amplifier. This feature is great for a jam session on the beach or at the lake.

Want a headphone amp? The Ai1 Preamp/Di has a built in headphone jack for private practice or playing.

Want to add your instrument to backing tracks? The Ai1 features RCA stereo line in and offers an MP3 interface adapter to add your favorite music or backing tracks.

The Ai1’s innovative design and engineering allows professional and amateur musicians to do more. Surface mount technology means all these features come in a compact package for musicians on the go for business or pleasure.

GMF specializes in developing products for the music industry. Founder and CEO Greg Farres has 35 years of domestic and international experience in design and manufacturing of products to support the music industry. The designs Greg created for Ultrasound, later acquired by Dean Markley, won the Acoustic Guitar Magazine players choice awards for both amplifiers and pre-amps. Now on his own, Greg is committed to bringing high quality innovative products to the market at a great price for musicians at any level. The Ai1 is Greg’s first offering from his own line of GMF products. Additional products planned for the professional musician include both a dual channel and a tube DI with pre-amp.

The Ai1 offers a tighter, cleaner tone, higher quality standards and more features than Greg’s earlier award winning designs. The Ai1 has stood up to road conditions and performed in many different settings with multiple instruments. Special Thanks to Zach Runquist for both the quality and durability testing to help us refine the Ai1 preamp/DI to perform at its best!

Just a quick note, if you have an AUX input on your car/truck stereo, you can use the Ai1 to plug in and use your car stereo as an amplifier. Great for beach and pasture parties and camping.
