User’s Guide

Introduction

Aufbauend auf jahrzehntelanger Erfahrung in der Entwicklung von Studio-Qualitäts-Equipment für die Bühne ist der ALIGN-Active-DI die Verkörperung von LR Baggs auf höchstem Niveau und nutzt die ursprünglichsten Schaltungen, die wir in einer DI entwickelt haben. Unser diskretes Design bewahrt die Authentizität des Sounds und bietet gleichzeitig einen großen Headroom für eine Vielzahl von Signalen. Egal ob auf dem Pedalboard oder Standalone, wir freuen uns, eine DI anzubieten, die einen so hohen Grad an Treue und Funktionalität anbietet.

Getting Started

Power the Active DI with a 9V power supply, 9V battery, or 48V phantom power (a green light will indicate phantom power is being used).

1. Plug your instrument into the input to activate the Active DI (upper right hand side) and a cable into the ¼” output (upper left hand side) and/or the XLR output (on the back).

2. Plug the ¼” and/or XLR cable into your amp or PA and experiment with the DI.

3. Use the pad switch if necessary. Read section B in this manual for setting your pad to the appropriate level.

A. Instrument Input
The ¼” input is an unbalanced (mono), all-discrete input. Plugging into the input will activate the Active DI, therefore, unplugging will turn the system off.

B. Pad
The pad switch is used to adjust the XLR output to 0dB (no change), -10dB, or -20dB. Adjust this depending on the needs of the PA or amplifier.

C. Ground Lift
Engage this switch to reduce or eliminate ground loop related noise.

D. Phase
Press this button to invert the phase. Usually, one phase will provide better sound and feedback resistance. With all acoustic instruments it is important to try both phases each time you set up, because phase is relative to your position on the stage.

E. Mute
Press the footswitch to mute the signal (Note: the mute will not affect the ¼” out when the Thru/Out switch is set to thru). The red LED will light up when the Active DI is muted. Press the footswitch again to un-mute your signal.

F. Thru/Out
When set to thru, the output completely bypasses all circuitry and sends an unaffected signal to the ¼” out. When set to out, the signal will be affected by all the controls. The XLR is not affected by this switch.

G. ¼” Output
The ¼” output is an unbalanced, line level output. You can plug into any amp or device that has a ¼” input.

H. XLR Output
The DI out is a balanced XLR output for connecting to a mixing board with an XLR (mic) cable.

A. DC Input
The DC power input is designed for a standard 2mm plug commonly used with effects pedals and “floor-box” products. Most power supplies or multi-power devices designed for musical products may be used. 9VDC recommended with a 12VDC maximum. Plugging in a power supply will activate the Active DI.
