The pz di is a high performance specialized active direct box designed to accommodate acoustic and orchestral instruments with a selectable input impedance that can accommodate magnetic pickups or piezo transducers and a variable low cut filter.
Active di box.
Active di boxes active direct boxes are in fact preamplifiers whose primary function is to provide higher input impedance than that of a transformer to drive instruments with low level signals.
A di unit direct input is an electronic device typically used in recording studios and in sound reinforcement systems to connect a high output impedance line level unbalanced output signal to a low impedance microphone level balanced input usually via an xlr connector and xlr cable.
Behringer s take on the all important active di box gives you functionality durability and incredible sound at a remarkable price.
These days there are excellent passive and active di boxes.
This means that it can handle lower level signals and still sound good.
Di boxes which require a power source batteries or phantom power are called active di boxes.
An active di box includes a preamplifier to provide a stronger signal and higher input impedance.
