Input
1/4" hi-Z input used to connect the instrument to the PZ-DI.
Thru
1/4" hi-Z throughput used to feed an onstage instrument amplifier.
Load
3-position switch lets you adjust the input impedance to optimize the load for the type of pickup being used. Set to: 1 meg-Ohm to replicate traditional DIs, 10 meg-Ohm for piezo transducers, 220 Ohm for magnetic pickups.
Pad
Reduce the input sensitivity by 15dB enabling the PZ-DI to be used with high output instruments such as active basses or keyboards.
Lo-Cut
Variable high-pass filter is used to remove unwanted resonance and size the instrument to suit. Variable from 5Hz to 500Hz.
Hi-Cut
Used to tame the sound to active instruments that often contain excessive high frequencies.
XLR Out
Balanced 600Ω mic level output, use to feed mixer or mic preamp.
Phase
180 deg polarity reverse toggles pin-2 and pin-3 at the XLR output. Used to tame acoustic hot spots on stage and help reduce resonant feedback.
Lift
Ground lift switch disconnects the ground from the audio signal path and help eliminate hum and buzz cause by ground loops.
48V LED
Provides visual status of 48V phantom power. When the LED is on, the PZ-DI is being fed 48 volts from the console.
Thru Buffer On
Buffers the signal before it is sent to thru-put connector for use with piezo transducers or when using longer cable runs.
