About this listing
The Grace Design BiX Acoustic Instrument Preamp has the same stunning audio performance as the FELiX and ALiX but with streamlined controls but in a smaller physical package and at a price point that EVERY musician can afford. We know that you will LOVE this amazing little guy! The Grace Design BiX Acoustic Instrument Preamp is a studio quality instrument Preamp / EQ / DI / Boost. It delivers crystal clear, ultra-quiet audio performance. The highs are silky smooth and open, and the lows are deep and rock solid. The dynamics and tone of the instrument come alive with clarity and realism, allowing a deeper bond between you and your instrument. In a few short years, and have become the preamps of choice for discerning touring and recording musicians. From Banjo to bass players, they enable performers to perfect their stage and studio sound beyond what was previously possible. And now directly from this lineage comes Grace Design BiX, which shares the exact same DNA of its bigger siblings, but with an intelligently streamlined feature set and a price that puts it in reach of any performer, whether on their way to the local coffee shop or the megadome. Controls are dead simple – input gain, high and low shelving EQ, and a 10dB variable boost circuit, with footswitches for mute and boost. 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 Grace Design BiX is pedalboard friendly, with a 9VDC power input and a compact, rugged low-profile chassis. Sonically, the Grace Design 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. Its highs are smooth and open, and the lows are deep and rock solid. The dynamics and tone of your instrument come alive with clarity and realism, which translates to creating a deeper bond between you and your instrument.
