Mercenary Audio - API 205L Direct Box 200 Series Module

This is the 200 series equivalent of the DI found on the API 512C mic pre and the rack mount 3124+ unit. It has the additional tone control facilities to be varied from "thin to fat" in tone which makes it a measure more useful than it's 500 series brother.

API 205L features

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.
