Industrial CBX205L 41726 Single Channel Amplifier

The API Audio 205L is a single‑channel direct input module for API’s 200‑Series consoles, designed to load guitar or bass pickups with minimal loading while delivering API‑style preamp tone. It accepts a 1/4" TS instrument input, with an input impedance around 470 kΩ and a balanced output impedance of about 85 Ω, suitable for integration into professional rack or console paths. The preamp delivers a frequency response of approximately 30 Hz to 20 kHz and a THD+N of around 0.02%, powered from a 16 V supply. Physical dimensions are 6.5" × 2.65" × 1.25" with a weight of roughly 0.61 lb, and the circuit uses API’s 2510/2520 op‑amps to achieve its characteristic direct‑in signal path. In practical use, the 205L is part of a larger channel strip in Legacy, Vision, or L200 racks and can drive downstream gear such as tape recorders or guitar power amplifiers, enabling flexible routing within a studio setup.
