Like the console-based API 205L, the 505-DI is specifically designed to
accept a guitar, bass or keyboard direct input while minimizing any
loading effect on Hi-Z instrument pickups. Additionally, the 505-DI's Gain
Control is used to normalize an instrument's input level, up to a +4 dBu
output level. API's unique TONE control reduces potential low end "mud" in
the signal, while turning on the BRIGHT switch adds additional clarity if
desired. The various combinations of TONE and BRIGHT controls can
eliminate the need for any EQ on the instrument while recording, keeping
the signal path short and pure.
This minimal signal path eliminates the need to use a standard direct
box, which many times still requires a mic input, equalizer, and a fader
to get the signal to a recordable level. The 505-DI is capable of boosting
any instrument to a hefty line level without additional amplifiers. Use of
the 100K / 400K LOAD switch allows the tone of the pickup to be altered
slightly, alternately brightening or darkening the high frequency content.
When inserting an instrument with an internal preamp or a line level
instrument such as a sampler or a keyboard, the 505-DI offers a 20 dB PAD
switch to drop the level without loading, thereby retaining the integrity
of the incoming signal.
