BiX comes directly from this lineage and shares the exact same DNA, with an intelligently streamlined feature set for any performer, from the local coffee shop to the megadome. Sonically it is a carbon copy of its bigger siblings: crystal clear, ultra-quiet audio, with an internal operating voltage of better than 30 V DC for incredible headroom; the highs are smooth and open and the lows deep and rock solid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eDynamic range at minimum gain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e129 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eHigh and low shelving EQ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e±15 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eVariable boost on a footswitch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e+12 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003ePedalboard power, 150 mA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e9 V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/4\" high-impedance instrument input\u003c\/strong\u003e (1 MΩ) for even finicky passive pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh and low shelving EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e, ±15 dB, with DIP-switch selectable transition frequencies (100 \/ 200 Hz and 2 \/ 4 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10 dB variable boost\u003c\/strong\u003e and mute footswitches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eSeparate FX send and return jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e1\/4\" unbalanced line output and balanced, transformer-isolated XLR DI output with ground lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e9 V DC operation with over 30 V internal operating voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eCompact, rugged, low-profile pedalboard friendly chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eDead simple controls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eInput gain, high and low shelving EQ and a variable boost, with footswitches for mute and boost.
