Put A Legendary Live DI/EQ in Your Rig

For over a decade and a half, the Para DI has been one of the mainstays of live music world. It's small enough to fit in just about any instrument case, yet the impact the Para DI makes on the sound quality of your acoustic pickups is simply profound. It's built road tough and versatile enough to run for up to 200 hours on a single, field changeable 9V battery power or to run off of +48V phantom power, and the signal of either active or passive electronics. And you're sure to love the way that the Para DI's 5-band equalizer sweetens your sound.

When you need a rock-solid direct box that brings out the best qualities of your acoustic guitar's tone, accept no substitutes! The Para DI's discrete, Class A FET input provides a crystal-clear internal sound path, and an adjustable gain parameter makes matching the levels of active or passive electronics easy. It's equalizer offers +/-12dB of correction with 6dB high- and low-mid frequency notches and an adjustable -12dB/octave low-cut filter. A built in FX send and return loop also assures you get the most of the Para DI's signal quality regardless of the rest of your signal chain. On the way out, out can chose from balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs. Finally, a total gain of up to +24dB ensures that you'll get a sufficiently powerful signal.

Really like the notch filter built in to the DI for controlling feed back onstage. I bought this as a backup for a friend of mine he was having some issues with his. Which LR Baggs gave great support for BTW. The tech was great and they actually replaced his unit for no charge. I would highly recommend this DI and LR Baggs as a vendor. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
