Handcrafted Pro Audio Gear

Diadem Your Sound
& Honor Your Tone.

Hand-built FET and tube compressors, solid-state and tube preamps, 500-series modules and the linear power to run them — voiced for modern records, serviced by the people who design them.

The Lineup

Built for the work, not the spec sheet.

Ten units in production, each solving one studio problem — preamplification, dynamics, bus glue, re-amping and clean 500-series power.

Neovox TT single-channel tube microphone preamp, 1U, surf green
Preamp · Tube 1UNew Neovox TT Tube Preamp

A hundred percent tube gain stage — 12AX7 into 12AU7, closed with a transformer-coupled output. Warm saturated body and the weight of a classic valve circuit, with a glow-discharge meter that breathes instead of blinking, all dressed in surf green.

+66 dB Gain 10 Hz–20 kHz +24 dBu Out 1U · 2.47 kg
Neovox SS single-channel solid-state mic preamp, 1U
Preamp · Solid-State 1U Neovox SS Microphone Preamp

A single-channel transistor preamp that refuses the either/or. Ultra-low noise and precise resolution of a modern amplifier, plus the weight, body and musical pull of a classic circuit — inductor input, tuned audio transformer, transformer-coupled output.

+72 dB Gain 10 Hz–30 kHz +24 dBu Out 1U · 2.47 kg
DT-2A tube optical compressor
Dynamics · Tube Optical DT-2A Optical Compressor

An extended high-frequency range gives the top end air and detail, while the upgraded DT-T4 opto-coupler keeps the compression silky and linear.

¥7,980Details
DT-76 FET compressor
Dynamics · FET Limiter DT-76 FET Compressor

The classic 1176 FET circuit — fast response, vintage harmonics and exclusive saturation, with a noise floor low enough to stay clean at high gain.

¥6,800Details
TR-1 passive re-amp box
Utility · Passive Re-Amp TR-1 Re-Amp Box

A custom isolation transformer with balanced pre-attenuation, hand-tuned and fully passive. Ground lift kills the hum; the TONE knob sets how warm the amp sounds.

¥980Details
DT-D01 active transformer-isolated DI box
Utility · Active DINew DT-D01 Active DI Box

An active DI with a transformer-isolated output: a high-impedance input that doesn't load the pickup, a THRU jack for the amp, PAD for hot sources and phantom power with a +48V indicator — in one extruded aluminium body.

DT-PS8 8-slot 500-series power chassis
Power · 8-Slot 500 Series DT-PS8 Power Chassis

A full linear supply with independent transformers, stable with all eight slots loaded. CNC-machined panel, Neutrik connectors, +16V / −16V / +48V indicators.

500 Series

Rack-sized. Studio-weight.

The DT-12 is our 500-series preamp — a custom “Toxic Tone” transformer with 20 Hz–40 kHz reach, a hand-matched discrete DT-DA1 amp and up to 69 dB of gain. The DT-PS1 is the powered chassis that holds it; the DT-PS8 racks eight at once.

DT-12 Mic Preamp ¥1,980

Our custom “Toxic Tone” input transformer and a hand-matched DT-DA1 discrete amp: rich warm harmonics, a punchy low end, silky highs and clean dynamics. Multi-impedance MIC / LINE / DI input, +31 dBu output.

DT-PS1 Power Chassis POA

One slot, full linear supply and a large reservoir of filter capacitance for a stable feed. CNC-machined faceplate, Neutrik connectors, rack ears for 1U — an optional join kit pairs two units side by side in the same 1U.

The Story

Every note deserves
a diadem.

Diadem Tone DT-series line-up line drawing with the brand wordmark
  1. 01

    A Soldering Iron, A Studio

    DiademTone began in a small studio in Changsha—no production line, no offshore contract. Just a desk lamp over a circuit board that has been revised too many times, and engineers who take sound more seriously than they take themselves.

    Building analog circuits that sing is not discovery; it is patience. You wind a transformer by hand. You wait out a tube's warm-up. You re-mount a ribbon a millimeter too loose, and you re-mount it again.

  2. 02

    The Ears, Not the Specs

    Numbers on a spec sheet do not interest us. What interests us is slower: a resistor's drift, a tube pair matched by ear, a unit that still sounds right after eight hours of work.

    So every DT-series product is selected, screened, and tuned by hand—because that is how DiademTone understands the word craft.

  3. 03

    The Diadem Belongs to the Sound

    The diadem in our name was never meant for the company. It belongs to the sound—set down carefully in front of it.

    The DT series is a complete analog signal chain: microphone, preamp, compressor, equalizer—each node carrying a better answer than the one on your rack.

  4. 04

    An Invitation

    If your living is listening—let us say one thing: DiademTone is the tool you will reach for, next time, without hesitation, when you press record.

    Try any product in the DT series. Bring every demand, every criticism. Walk beside engineers who believe a sound is worth a crown—and help us carry the work further.

Core Values

Two principles that filter every decision we make

01

We treat every unit with the seriousness it deserves—components matched and screened, each device tuned by hand—so that every DT-series product is more than a list of measurements. It is a tool meant to live in a studio, used, day after day, by people who notice.

02

DT is not one device. It is a complete analog signal chain—and we work, deliberately, so that every node in that chain has a better engineering answer than the one you would otherwise live with.
