That lets you feed an instrument directly into a mixing console without the level and impedance mismatch you would otherwise get. It takes an unbalanced 6.3mm jack input and gives you a balanced XLR male output for the console, plus a 6.3mm jack through output so you can still send the signal on to an amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput impedance sits above 100k Ohms with an output impedance of 600 Ohms, so it works well with guitars, basses and keyboards. Three pad settings at 0, -20 and -40dBu handle level matching, which is useful when you are dealing with hot signals from active pickups or line level sources. The ground handling gives you two options: a ground float setting with an RF and mains filter for ground lift, and a ground lift setting that isolates the signal ground without the filter. This helps you deal with hum and buzz caused by ground loops between the stage and the desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing passive, the DI-P1 needs no phantom power or batteries, so there is one less thing to worry about on stage. It measures 86 x 70 x 45mm and weighs 234g, small enough to sit by your feet or tuck into a gig bag. The controls are laid out simply with the pad and Ground-Float-Lift switch on the unit, so you can set it and forget it during a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.3mm jack (unbalanced)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXLRM (balanced), 6.3mm jack through (unbalanced)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt;100k Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600 Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0\/-20\/-40dBu pad \u0026amp; Ground-Float-Lift switch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86mm x 70mm x 45mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.23KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/173292UK_49127a26-ac8a-4654-8489-7854e3a5f3b3.pdf?v=1784992920\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a passive DI box used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt converts a high impedance instrument output to a low impedance balanced signal, so you can plug an instrument straight into a mixing console over a long cable run without noise or signal loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the DI-P1 need power or batteries?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a passive DI box, so it draws no phantom power or batteries.
