SANITIZING AND ALTERING SAMPLES
Use the Dual Parametric D.I. between a sound source and a sampler's input to shape the sound. Remove
hiss, add body to the midrange, or experiment with unusual EQ combinations to create unique sounds of
your own.
USING THE DUAL PARAMETRIC D.I. AS A DIRECT BOX
Because the Fishman Dual Parametric D.I. has an impedance buffer and a Volume control, it can be used
as a direct box between high-impedance signals (such as those from electric basses, electric guitars,
microphones, etc.) and low-impedance inputs such as those found on many mixers. You can switch both
EQ bands to their "out" positions if you don't want to perform any equalization, and if you set the Volume
knob at its 3 o'clock position, the Dual Parametric D.I. will pass the signal through without boosting or
cutting, even though it will serve as a buffer. You can use either the XLR or the 1/4" output jack (or both
outputs simultaneously) for this application. The Ground Lift switch can help remove hum-causing ground
loops.
NOTE: Never plug a speaker output from an amplifier into the Dual Parametric D.I. 's Input!
The high level will damage the Dual Parametric D.I. 's circuitry and may also result in damage
to the amplifier.
