No need to pack multiple UHF sets in that light travel bag of yours. Maybe you are a homebody and live at the studio lot – THEOS is perfect for that too!


Deity TC-1

The TC-1 takes the best parts of timecode box units from the past and brings them all together into a timecode generator built for the future.
