205L Discrete Direct Input

R 17,825.00

The API 205L instrument direct is specifically designed to accept a guitar or bass direct into it, without any loading on the pickups.  With the use of the unique tone control, the low end "mud" can be reduced.  Turning on the bright switch adds clarity, like the bright switch on any amp.  The combination of these two functions may eliminate the need for any EQ on the instrument when recording, keeping the signal pure.

The input is designed specifically to load a pickup the same way that a tube guitar amp would, retaining all of the tone and minimizing the loading effect on the pickup. This minimal path eliminates the need to use a standard direct box, which more times than not, only converts the signal to a balanced mic level output, which still requires a mic input, equalizer and fader to get the signal to a recordable level.

 

Specifications:

  • Wide range gain control
  • Hi-Z input, like a tube amp
  • Thin < > fat tone control reduces low end mud
  • Bright switch boosts the presence
  • 20 dB pad lowers the input level
  • 100 K load switch changes the tone of instruments
  • Five segment LED meter shows output level
  • Transformer coupled output to +28 dBm
  • All discrete design
