User manual BEHRINGER DI600P

[. . . ] Even though this approach has obvious advantages, there are still some technical hurdles obstructing its implementation. For example, keyboards seldom feature balanced outputs, and guitars can not be directly connected to mixing consoles because of the high impedance of guitar signals. The DI600P lets you directly tap into a high-impedance, unbalanced signalfor example, the signal between a guitar and a guitar amp. [. . . ] Use a high-quality balanced microphone cable to establish connection. Using the GND LIFT (ground lift) switch, you can fully separate input and output grounding. Depending on how the equipment to which your DI600P is connected is grounded, using the GND LIFT switch lets you lower hum noise or ground loops. When the GND LIFT switch is in LIFT position, the ground connection is interrupted. The INST/AMP attenuation switch (30 dB) increases the operating range of the DI600P considerably, from low signal levels of a high-impedance mic or a guitar (INST), all the way to speaker connectors of a guitar amplifier (AMP). Switchable FILTER for guitar applications (7. 5 kHz, -3 dB). The SERIAL NUMBER of the DI600P is located at the bottom. 2. 2 Taking a signal from a speaker output Fig. 3: Connection to a power amp output Sometimes, you want to take a signal directly from a speaker output, even though just one speaker output is available. When you set the INST/AMP switch to AMP, you can connect an amp output to your mixing console (up to 3, 000 Watts into 4 Ohms), without worrying that it will be damaged due to overload! + If you are using a tube amp, you must connect a speaker or a similar load resistance to the parallel ¼" TS OUTPUT. BEHRINGER ULTRA-DI DI600P + Before connecting to a loudspeaker connector, please make sure that the GROUND LIFT switch is in LIFT position (no ground connection). This prevents accidental shorting of the amp output. Besides, the tip of the input connector should be connected to the speaker connector marked with red. The metal casing of the DI600P should in no case have physical contact to other equipment. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1) Read these instructions. 5) Do not use this apparatus near water. 3.
