Guitar, bass and keyboards plug into the 1\/4 in INPUT jack, and the PARA OUT jack keeps your amp in the chain while the XLR output goes to your mixer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it need phantom power or batteries?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is a passive DI box, so there is no power jack, battery or phantom power to deal with. Plug in your instrument, connect the XLR to your mixer, and get on with soundcheck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I use the ground button to get rid of hum?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeave the button popped up normally. If you hear buzz or AC hum from a ground loop, press it in.

Use 0 dB for regular electric guitar, bass and keyboards, -20 dB for pro gear with +4 dBm output, and -40 dB for a guitar power amp speaker output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it stereo, or do I need two for a keyboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a single-channel unit, so one box handles one instrument signal. If you are bringing a second source to the mixer, plan on a second DI box for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I connect an amp speaker output to it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Set the ATT switch to -40 dB and connect the speaker cabinet to PARA OUT. The XLR output then feeds your mixing console.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat cables and jacks do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour instrument goes in on a 1\/4 in cable. The output is a male XLR, so use an XLR cable to reach your mixer or mixing console.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrimyDeals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49771286528155,"sku":"PD-hushlift-di-box-1","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/1712\/7067\/files\/di-box__p6_v1.png?v=1791649642","url":"https:\/\/primydeals.com\/products\/hushlift-di-box","provider":"PrimyDeals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
