The Lampifier 571 Infinite Direct allows incredible tonal and dynamic control, making it into a highly versatile pre-amp.
Direct box with inputs for XLR, TRS, piezo mics,line level and instrument level inputs. It can also sumstereo 1/4' inputs into mono.
Features a high quality, series cascaded EQ with 5 bands. Bass and High are shelved EQ, while 2 sweepable midrange bands and a. separate presence control complete the tonal shaping options.
Live sound, whethervocalor instrument, nearly always has too much dynamic range for ideal sound reinforcement needs. The Infinite Direct Box solvesthis problem with its 'smart,'fully transparent-and warm, analog, dynamic-range reduction system. This works great on vocals, acoustic instruments, bass, as well as both clean and crunchelectric guitars. The amount of reductionmay be increased or decreased, orbypassed entirely.
The 571 also features a speaker simulation modulefor smooth and lifelike, direct sound. The speaker sim offers3 options: Direct (no speaker sim), 'Stack' (4x12 cabinet) and 'Combo' (open back cabinet).
The 571can also functionas a load box. This means you can pluga powered speaker output from your amplifier directly into the 571input, tap that signal, run it through the onboard speaker sim snfout directly to arecording system and/orto a live PA. And you mayeven simultaneously output from the 571's 1/4' outputinto your speaker cabinet!This eliminates the need for mic'ing in a live environment, thereby reducing ambient sound. Or forget the speaker and go direct for quiet recording. Note: The load box capacity is limited to 100 watts max input level.
For getting signal out of the 571 there is an XLR output that routes 4dbu (professional level), as well as a 1/4' TRS output for line level. These work simultaneously.Also a third output option is the built-in USB digital output to computer (44.1k or 48k). Uses generic audio drivers.
The 571 can pass 48v phantom power to a mic connected to its XLR input. However, note that it will only pass phantom power when it itself is powered by a 9v plug adapter. (Not supplied: For this you'll need to pick up a 9v adapter at least 300macapacity.)If you don't need to pass phantom power, the box may be powered either by a 9v battery or by passing 48v phantom power to it via the XLR output.
