I\/O includes the instrument input, separate send and return insert jacks, an unbalanced line output, and a balanced ISO DI output on XLR. For enhanced EQ control, rear panel DIP switches select between two different transition frequencies for both High and Low controls. And BiX is pedalboard friendly, with a 9VDC power input and a compact, rugged low-profile chassis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSonically, BiX is a carbon copy of its bigger siblings, with crystal clear, ultra-quiet audio performance. A better than 30VDC internal operating voltage provides for incredible headroom. The highs are smooth and open, and the lows are deep and rock solid.

Parametric midrange covers from 70Hz all the way to 8KHz, and fixed low and high controls are carefully voiced for musical shading of bass and treble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eControls are dead simple and clearly marked on the panel, making them easy to read and tweak on a dark stage.

The magic of this unit comes with the mid contour. Select the frequency and use it to either cut away nasally mid frequencies that box up your sound, or use it to boost sensitive frequencies to cut right through the mix. This is the secret weapon to making your pickups or microphones sound natural and pleasing.
