RADIAL ENGINEERING PZ-DI Direct boxes - I.D. for Piezo microphones
Direct Boxes - D.I. for Piezo microphones
The 3 position impedance switch is the focal point of the PZ-DI: The 1 meg ohm position provides the classic impedance available on most active DI boxes, the 220k ohm setting heats up the signal to suit a magnetic pickup, much as if the instrument were connected to a tube amp.The 10 meg ohm setting is used to compensate for the screechy sound that usually emanates from piezo-equipped instruments.in addition, a variable high-pass filter allows you to 'sculpt' the instrument by gently attenuating low frequencies, eliminating any unwanted resonance. You can, for example, keep the low end of the spectrum on a cello, but have this filter work to better suit a violin. On active instruments, such as acoustic guitars with a preamp, you can engage this filter for a smoother, more natural sound.To optimize signal handling and reduce distortion, the PZ-DI incorporates an innovative DC power supply that converts phantom power to provide more headroom. This provides a comfortable dynamic range for acoustic instruments. For high level sources, such as active bass or digital keyboards, simply activate the -15dB pad. The Radial PZ-DI also features a 180° polarity inverter and a ground lift.
