This is a box passively live analog and obviously because using a transformer. This is a nec plus ultra model by Jensen (experts in electronic reconnatront the excellent workmanship).
This bote is a passive direct signal processing, so without possiblit of amplication. The level +4 dBu (instrument) 1 MgaOhm becomes -50 and -30 dBu (microphone level) averaged 150 ohms.
The instrument is made by between asymmetric jack 1/4 "(36 mm), it is - ie cable guitar or synthesizer output to an amplifier is possible through. same type of connector. The output is Neutrik XLR symtrise mle, brooches gold plates 24K, equipped with a switch to switch the direction of the mass.
This bote aptly named: it is tiny, so not rackable. Its four rubber feet allow the placing on the floor or even on inclined plane without it slipping.

USE

The hardware configuration could not be simpler: just plug and play, enjoy!
The output level is the equivalence of a microphone signal, so easy grate from a mixer or even directly on the branch of a computer sound card.
The manual is explicit, but in English only: novices abstain.

SOUND QUALITY

Whatever the guitar brand used and brand pedal instead downstream of it, the sound is wonderfully prcis. But be careful in Annexes defects! Just as a dfectueuse voice reveals a high-end microphone, DW Fearn PDB must be handled in a chain intgralement irreproachable: good musician , good hardware, cables pro quality. The slightest flaw does not forgive!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for bientt a year - not one second of regret, on 31557600 ...
I love the simplicity of use, discreet size of the product, and simple retro look (means: ensured that need not be Vant I appr. cie above all the quality of its components, o dcoule its quality through its consquence.
I acquired this DI bote because I did not have the means to have VT-3 DI, DW Fearn also - this model is a two-channel DI, pure class A, lamps .dropoff window Suffice to say very onreux!
The report qualitprix is ​​questionable according to some: they say that the 280 qu'accusent this bote ds are made by a manufacturing amricaine labor. This argument certainly should Avalon U5 from home - and again, the Superior Price is in particular the fact that it is an active DI is - say a team pramplificateur and switchable filter. In terms of the product concerned here, everything is justified. No other PDB has sound PDB DW Fearn.
With the experience I would do this choice if and only if the VT-3 did not exist! Subjectively, I find the sound of a far more attractive lamps DI.
