User manual BEHRINGER BDI21

[. . . ] In addition, the BDI21 functions as a standard ultra-transparent direct injection box when used in bypass mode. A DI (Direct Injection) box allows you to send a signal directly from an unbalanced, high-impedance output (like a bass guitar) and connect it directly to the balanced mic input of a mixing console. Whether for stage, recording, rehearsal or warm-up, the BEHRINGER V-TONE BASS BDI21 is a natural choice for those who are seeking great tone with a simple set-up. Use the footswitch to activate/deactivate all the tone functions (EQ, DRIVE, tube emulation). [. . . ] When activated, the GND LIFT disconnects the ground connection between input and output. Depending on the grounding of the connected equipment, this can eliminate hum or ground loops. Power supply connector Use the DC IN connection to plug in a 9 V power supply (not included). For details please refer to chapter POWER REQUIREMENTS. Open the lid to install or replace the 9 V battery (see also chapter POWER REQUIREMENTS). The BDI21 is powered as soon you insert a plug into the INPUT. The battery is disconnected when the plug is removed. For this reason, the BDI21 has no on/off switch. To prolong battery life, always disconnect the input when the driver is not in use. + BEHRINGER V-TONE BASS BDI21 APPLICATIONS Use with other instruments The BDI21 is not only for bass guitars. You can try it with other instruments (e. acoustic/electric guitars, keyboards etc. ) to create new sounds and enhance your music. Please make sure that the input level is not too high to avoid overloading the BDI21. SAMPLE SETTINGS Direct to a mixing console For live and studio applications you can connect the balanced XLR BAL OUT directly to a mic input of a mixing console. Be sure not to overload the input by using the gain control of the respective channel. For further information please refer to the users manual of your mixing console. Use without instruments You can use the BDI21 without an instrument as an outboard processor connected to an insert or an effect path (aux send/ return) of your mixing console to affect the signal of a particular channel. This way you can enhance existing tracks during mixdown. For further information please refer to the users manual of your mixing console.
