Ibanez DM500 Digital Delay Details

Ibanez has once again set a new benchmark for price and performance in digital delay units. The Ibanez DM500 offers studio-quality, fully featured delay at an unbeatable price, making professional time delay effects accessible to all. With Ibanez’s trusted digital technology, users can now experience reliability and ease.

The Ibanez DM500 provides adjustable time delays ranging from 0.5ms to 256ms (over 1/4 of a second), with a full 16KHz bandwidth. The time delays can be modulated for swept effects, and feedback intensity can be fine-tuned along with the number of echo repeats.

Its input level control works seamlessly with microphones, instruments, or line-level inputs, while the output controls allow any combination of delayed and dry signals. LEDs indicate headroom, unit status, and power levels, and stereo outputs enhance spatial sound. Activation is possible through the front panel switch or a remote footswitch. The Ibanez DM500 comes in a robust, single-space EIA-standard rack format.

Applications: With its full 16KHz bandwidth, the DM500 makes swept effects such as flanging, chorus, and doubling shine with outstanding clarity and brightness. Hard reverb and slapback echo effects are crisp and sharp, while long echoes are studio-clear and quiet. The Ibanez DM500 is ideal for anyone seeking extended bandwidth in time delay effects.

The Ibanez DM500 makes the transition to digital easier than ever, delivering professional digital performance at an analogue price. Be sure to experience the Ibanez DM500 Digital Delay at your Ibanez dealer before making the switch and see for yourself the industry-leading price and performance.
