Thank you for showing your condence in us by purchasing the V-TONE
BASS BDI21. This high-quality bass driver is designed for bassists
with diverse and wide-ranging needs. The integrated tube emulation
produces the sound and response of a miked bass tube amp while the
2-band EQ (with presence control) and the dedicated drive control
let you create any bass tone you desire, from vintage to modern. In
addition, the BDI21 functions as a standard ultra-transparent direct
injection box when used in bypass mode.
A DI (Direct Injection) box allows you to send a signal directly from an
unbalanced, high-impedance output (like a bass guitar) and connect it
directly to the balanced mic input of a mixing console.
Whether for stage, recording, rehearsal or warm-up, the Behringer
V-TONE BASS BDI21 is a natural choice for those who are seeking great
tone with a simple set-up.
1. Control Elements
(1) The DRIVE control adjusts the overall amount of gain and
overdrive, similar to pushing the output section of a tube amp.
(2) The TREBLE control governs the high-frequency range of the
signal (±12 dB).
(3) The BASS control allows you to boost/cut the low-frequency
range (±12 dB).
(4) The PRESENCE control boosts the upper harmonic content for a
smoother high end and more attack.
(5) The LEVEL control adjusts the output level of the BDI21.
(6) The BLEND control adjusts the amount of tube emulation. The
tube emulation circuitry provides the real tube sound of a miked
bass tube amp.
