ALIGN SERIES ACTIVE DI USER’S GUIDE
INTRODUCTION Building upon decades of experience creating studio-quality gear for the stage, the Align Active DI is the embodiment of LR Baggs engineering at its highest level and uses the most pristine circuitry we have developed in a DI. Our all-discrete design preserves the authenticity of your sound while providing high headroom for a wide range of signals. Equally at home on a pedalboard or standalone, we are excited to offer a DI with such a high degree of fidelity and functionality.
H A B G F C D E TOP FEATURES A. INSTRUMENT INPUT The ¼” input is an unbalanced (mono), all-discrete input. Plugging into the input will activate the Active DI, therefore, unplugging will turn the system off. B. PAD The pad switch is used to adjust the XLR output to 0dB (no change), -10dB, or -20dB. Adjust this depending on the needs of the PA or amplifier.
C. GROUND LIFT Engage this switch to reduce or eliminate ground loop related noise. D. PHASE Press this button to invert the phase. Usually, one phase will provide better sound and feedback resistance. With all acoustic instruments it is important to try both phases each time you set up, because phase is relative to your position on the stage. E. MUTE Press the footswitch to mute the signal (Note: the mute will not affect the ¼” out when the Thru/Out switch is set to thru).
A SIDE FEATURES A. DC INPUT The DC power input is designed for a standard 2mm plug commonly used with effects pedals and “floorbox” products. Most power supplies or multi-power devices designed for musical products may be used. 9VDC recommended with a 12VDC maximum. Plugging in a power supply will activate the Active DI.
