This is a box of direct passive, analog Obviously well as using a transformer. This is a MODEL ultimate brand Jensen (experts reconnatront the excellent electronic invoice).
This is a bote direct passive signal processing, ie without amplification possible. The +4 dBu level (instrument) becomes a MgaOhm -50 to -30 dBu (microphone level) average of 150 Ohm.
The instrument is between asymtrique by jack 1 / 4 "(36 mm) is - ie cable guitar or synthtiseur. An output to an amplifier is possible by same type of connector. symtrise The output is XLR Neutrik mle, 24k gold-plated pins, team with a switch to switch the direction of the mass.
This bote is aptly named: it is tiny, so no rack. Its four rubber feet can put it on the floor or even on an incline without slipping.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the hardware could not be simpler: plug, play, enjoy!
The output level is the equivalence of a microphone signal, so easy grate from a mixer or even directly connected to the soundcard of a computer.
The manual is explicit, but rdig English: novices abstain.

SOUND QUALITY

Whatever the brand of guitar used, and the brand of pedals placed downstream of it, the sound is wonderfully prcis. But beware of default schedules! As a voice dfectueuse rvle is a high quality microphone, the DW Fearn PDB should be handled in a string intgralement irrprochable: good musician , good hardware, Cables of quality pro. The slightest flaw is not forgiving!

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using ending for a year - and not one second of regret, on 31557600 ...
I love the simplicity of use, size discrte the product, its look and simple rtro (means: insured does not need to be proud of it. But I learned cie foremost the quality of its components, o dcoule its quality through its consquence.
I acquired this beast of DI because I could not afford to have the VT-3 DI, DW Fearn also - this is a MODEL DI two-channel, pure class A lamps . In other words, trs onreux!
The report qualitprix is ​​questionable according to some: they say that the 280 is encountered by the bote ds manufacture made by a labor amricaine. This argument should certainly at the Avalon U5 - and again, the price is notably suprieur of the fact that it is an active DI is - a team that pramplificateur and selectable filters. As for the product concerned here, is justified. No other PDB has the sound of the DW Fearn PDB.
With exprience, I would do this election if and only if the VT-3 did not exist! Subjectively, I find the sound of a DI lamps more attractive.
