The PDC22 balanced output provides a clean signal at a low level so long runs of
cable are possible. Another benefit from a balanced connection is common mode
rejection, which provides cancellation of the bad sounds (hums and buzzes) while
leaving the original signal pure.
Direct insertion of an Instrument into a PAsystem
One of the most common applications for using a DI box is getting the signal of
a bass guitar into the PA system. Simply put, the low frequencies produced by bass
are dicult to mic, so use of a DI box is almost always preferable. In addition, the
signal going to PA system can be tweaked by the FOH (front of house) engineer,
without aecting the sound the musician dials up on stage. You can use PDC22 to
plug a guitar directly into the PA system as well. Especially acoustic guitars with
pickups and when using electronic guitar processors and modelers. Follow the
diagram and steps below to connect a guitar to a PA mixer.
• Connect the output of the guitar or bass to the PDC22 INPUT
• Connect PDC22's PARA OUT to the input of the guitar or bass amplifier.
• Connect PDC22's BALANCED OUTPUT to the input of main PA mixer.
NOTE:
To avoid annoying pops and clicks be sure to mute (or turn down the volume control)
of your mixer’s output while connecting the PDC22.
