The DI - 1 is an outstanding direct box that offers crystal - clear sound. It efficiently converts high - impedance, unbalanced instrument outputs into low - impedance, balanced inputs for a mixing console. This active direct box has a better frequency response than conventional transformers. It can run on a 9 - volt battery or use phantom power from a mixer. Equipped with phase reversal and ground lifting switches, as well as three input level switches, it provides great flexibility. Its sturdy and compact design makes it convenient to use and carry. Dimensions are 97 mm / 3 - 13/16' W X 125 mm / 4 - 15/16' D X 46 mm / 1 - 13/16' H, and it weighs 480 g / 1 lbs. 1 oz.
Using the DI - 1 is easy. First, connect your high - impedance instrument to the input of the DI - 1. Then, connect the output of the DI - 1 to the balanced input of your mixing console. You can power it with a 9 - volt battery or use the phantom power from the mixer. Adjust the input level switches according to the output strength of your instrument. The phase reversal and ground lifting switches can help you solve potential sound problems. When using the battery, make sure to replace it regularly to avoid power issues. Keep the DI - 1 in a dry and clean place, and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or physical shocks. Clean it gently with a soft cloth if it gets dirty.
