Operating the S direct A direct box, or DI box, provides the facility for the direct insertion of an audio signal into a mixer or recorder. The S direct offers a variety of DI solutions for live sound and recording applications. You can connect all kinds of audio signals like guitars, keyboards, outboard signal processors and even the high-powered speaker output from an amplifier.
Operating the S direct Typical Instrument Hook-up NOTE: To avoid annoying pops and clicks be sure to mute (or turn down the volume control) of your mixerʼs output while connecting the S direct, or when switching from battery to phantom power.
