Description
The API 205L is a direct input microphone designed for guitar and bass. It features gain control to normalize instrument levels up to +4 dBu, a tone control to reduce low-end mud, and a bright switch for added clarity. The 100K load switch and 20 dB pad accommodate different instrument impedances and signal levels, while the high input impedance minimizes loading on pickups similar to a tube amplifier input.
