INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Radial PZ-DI, one of the most innovative direct boxes ever made! Unlike others that are

a ‘one-size-ﬁ ts-all’ the PZ-DI has been designed from the ground up to solve the problems that are common to piezo-

electric transducers while signiﬁ cantly enhancing the musical performance when used with other pickups or instruments.

This manual has been written to provide you with a full understanding of how to use the PZ-DI and get the most out

of it. Please take a few minutes to read it all the way through. You will ﬁ nd that there are several innovative features

built-in that can greatly enhance your enjoyment and the outcome. If by chance you do not ﬁ nd everything you need

within these pages, please visit the PZ-DI FAQ page on our web site. This is where we post the latest updates and

questions from users like you. If after that you still do not ﬁ nd what you are looking for, feel free to send an email to

info@radialeng.com and we will do our very best to reply to you in short order.

Now get ready to hear that orchestra like never before!
