1. Battery Power Switch
This push-button will activate the power supplied by the internal 9 Volt Battery (not
supplied). The (2) Led will blink at several seconds intervals. If you are using your
DI 1 with external phantom power you can release the switch in order to preserve
the battery life.
2. Power LED
When operating with phantom power this LED will light up continuously. If you are using
the internal 9 Volt battery, the LED will blink at several seconds intervals.
3. 20dB Attenuation Switches on input
Press either of these switches and you will attenuate the input signal by 20dB. In
such way you can produce increased headroom and reduce the risk of distortion
because of level peaks at input level when the input signal is quite hot.
4. Phase Inversion Switch
By pressing this switch you will reverse the signal phase by 180 . In normal situations,
just forget about this switch but in case of inversion of the connectors this switch be-
comes very useful to compensate the phase cancellation
5. GND Lift Switch
This switch disconnects the input signal ground from the output signal ground. In
this way you can avoid hum produced by ground loop.
6. High frequency Filter at 8 kHz
You can press this switch and activate the 8 kHz High Cut Filter when using an ele-
ctric guitar with your DI 1 Direct Box.
