LoHerry « Convenient to live »
Published on 06/10/14 at 06:47DI 8 channel 1U rack
Self-powered or powered by +48 V phantom power)
Front panel divided into similar sections 8:
- Input TRS
- Link TRS
- TS unbalanced Output Jack
- Selector-30dB pad
- Selector boost of +20 dB
- Common Ground Lift Switch for and +48 V phantom power
A note therefore that phantom power can be managed independently for each channel ...
Rear panel:
- 8 XLR balanced outputs
UTILIZATION
Easy to use as a DI
Manual unused in my case and normally sufficient given the role of a DI.
Anyway, the person who buys a DI necessarily know what it is ...
The DI800 has been used for short recordings (without sound requirement) but more often in a live context.
The combination of pad / boost provides an attenuation of-10dB
SOUND QUALITY
DI fulfills its role.
The boost of +20 dB generates a light breeze (nothing illogical) can be can we have better signal / noise ratio on that point ...?
The rendering of dynamic and color signal, I did not look too quibble given the value for money. I also had targeted for live use, not studio where the sound requirement is not the same.
Listening, I found a very slight coloration in the high mids (not the most pleasant, but so low that easily circumvented) and a slight feeling of loss of momentum. However, this is only felt and my judgment is nothing founded, measured ...
In any case, for the first vocation I had given him, namely live, it is an effective, comprehensive and sufficient tool (for my taste).
Also note that I used on trays where the instruments change regularly, instruments that are not mine ... It would be my personal DI for my instruments live, I would take the line a little above (BSS AR133 type )
OVERALL OPINION
I used for about 5 years for regular use but not heavy (about 1 times / week). Never a failure, always functional.
I think we have our money.
My rating is therefore based on the role I assigned (live use) depending on the quality / price ratio. After that, it is true that if I could afford today, I would rather have a battery BSS AR133, but the budget is not the same (and its not more ...)
