DI-5 CABSIM DI

Nothing sexy about a DI box is there ?

This is a little different, intrigued, read on.

This little DI box is virtually identical to the DI-1, but without the 20dB and 40dB pad. It is in a pedal board friendly enclosure. It can run from a 9V to 18V external power supply (no room for a battery inside), and it will also run with full functionality and headroom from 48V phantom power. We included the standard earth lift for the balanced XLR output. We have two side mounted 1/4″ guitar sockets wired in parallel.

We use the industry standard pin 2 hot for the XLR connection.

But wait, there’s more. We included our cabsim circuit. Why would you do that you ask ?

Imagine a few scenarios…

1. You’re at a gig and the back-line amp is rubbish, or your amp dies at a gig. Just plug the pedal board output into the DI-5, connect a microphone lead, turn phantom power on at the mixing desk, adjust the cabsim gain to get the amp sound you like, and play the rest of the gig.

2. You’re in a studio, its late, you don’t have time to set up an amp but you need a quick guitar track. Plug the guitar pedal board output into the DI-1, adjust the cabsim gain to get the sound you want and you’re good to go.

3. You’re in your home studio, you cant have a loud screaming guitar because you will wake the neighbours. Plug the guitar pedal board output into the DI-5, adjust the cabsim gain to get the sound you want and you’re good to go.

The cabsim has low end response as per an 8×10 bass fridge speaker, and is suitable for both guitar & bass.
