Radial PZ-DI DI box for acoustic and orchestra instruments

The Radial PZ-DI is a DI box that was specially designed for amplifying acoustic and orchestra instruments. This phantom-powered device with extra headroom is a very welcome DI variety, considering that it features some very practical optimisation controls. It also has a jack input, a jack thru and an XLR output. Setting up the impedance on the PZ-DI The PZ-DI has an impedance switch with three different positions. The 'standard' impedance level is what we find on most DI boxes. The '220k-ohms' position ensure that magnetic pickups come through with a warmer, tube-like character. Lastly, the high '10 megohms' position is for compensating that often unpolished tone of a piezo pickup. Further optimisation To optimise the signal even more, Radial has equipped the PZ-DI with a variable low-cut (high-pass) filter to sift low tones out of the mix and stand up to powerful bass resonance. The hi-cut (low-pass) diminishes high tones and gives active instruments a rounder, more authentic sound.
