Owners Manual
One of the DI1’s features is the combine switch, which allows you
to sum two line inputs if needed.
1. Make sure the COMBINE switch is ON.
2. Connect the output of the guitar/bass guitar to the DI1’s
INPUT.
3. Connect the output of the 2nd guitar/bass guitar to the DI1’s
THRU
4. Connect DI1’s OUTPUT to the input of main PA mixer.
NOTE: To avoid any annoying sound while connecting the DI1
or when switching from battery to phantom power, please turn
down the volume control of your mixer’s output.
CONNECTING HIGH POWER SIGNALS
The DI1 provides the capability of tapping off the signals from
ampliers, such as the output of a guitar/power amplier. You
can also use DI1 to connect to the speaker output of a consumer
stereo system or boom box, for example, if you want to sample
some old records or cassette tapes.
1. Make sure the PAD switch is ON
2. Connect the output of the guitar/bass guitar to the guitar
amplifier’s input
3. Connect the guitar amplifier’s speaker output to the DI1’s
INPUT
4. Connect the DI1’s THRU to the to the input of the guitar
amplifier’s speaker
5. Connect the DI1’s balanced XLR OUTPUT to the input of main
PA mixer

CONVERTING THE OUTPUT OF UNBALANCED DEVICES
The DI1 can be very useful in the studio or on stage for
connecting unbalanced devices, for example, keyboards. The
output levels of most keyboards are low, so their signals can
benefit greatly by connecting their unbalanced outputs to
the DI1. By doing so, the signal can be sent cleanly for long
distances while benefitting from the low noise and common
mode rejection provided by DI1’s OUTPUT. The following
shows a typical hook-up for a stereo keyboard connected to a
stereo stage monitor system and the main PA mixer.
