APEX dBDI-2 used for the current Simple Minds Graffiti Soul tour
Belgium-based EML is the main supplier for the current Simple Minds Graffiti Soul tour, with EML's sound designer and FOH engineer, Patrick Demoustier, using the dBDI-2 on Eddie Duffy's bass rig. He commented: "I'm using the unit for two separate bass channels. It sounds really good and compares very well against the other DIs I use, as well as being a clever box. Apex has taken the basic DI and added some interesting versatility to it. A good example of this involves the RCA inputs; these are a clever and simple addition in a world where iPods and laptops are used for intro music and CD replacement."
The dBDI-2 features two active direct inject channels that provide a wide range of input connectivity as standard (XLR, 6.35mm jack and RCA-phono). Dual mono, or stereo operation is catered for, while enhanced features enable channel inputs on the dBDI-2 to be summed, or the dBDI-2 to be used as an active splitter. High quality transformers, shielded within mu-metal cans, provide each channel with a galvanically isolated and balanced output; ensuring that audio integrity and performance is maintained at the optimum levels.
The rugged aluminium extruded standalone design conveniently allows cables to be run underneath the dBDI-2, while the rubberised end cheeks provide both additional protection and enable multiple units to be stacked in a safe and secure manner.
A rack-based solution allows 4 direct inject channels (with all input and output connections accessible from the front panel) to be available within a single 1U rack space. This is ideal for keyboard racks, guitar rigs or any other situation where the use of rack-based DIs is preferable.
