Introduction
The DN1414 Multiple DI Module offers a cost and space-effective method of providing 14 discrete channels
of transformer-isolated direct injection. Housed in a rugged 3U rack enclosure, the DN1414 embodies the
legendary sound and reliability of Klark Teknik.
Key Features
i
Ten mono channels with XLR and jack inputs, link output jack and transformer
-balanced XLR outputs.
ii. Two dual channels with jack inputs, link output jacks and transformer-balanced
XLR outputs
iii. -30dB pad, -15 dB attenuation on all channels.
iv. Internal power supply with factory option of backup PSU.
v. Five year international factory warranty.
The Klark Teknik DN1414 is an extremely high performance, 14-channel DI module housed in a 3U, rack
mounting case with an integral switch mode power supply that automatically adapts to mains voltages in the
range 100 to 240 Volts (50 to 60Hz). A dual PSU is available as a factory fitted option. Applications include
providing DI box feeds to service monitor and FOH consoles as well as to facilitate the multitrack recording
of live events.
Each input feeds a superbly specified input stage, which can flexibly handle both line- and instrument-level
signals. The TRS jack and XLR inputs on channels 1-10 are parallel connected, and the circuit design allows
the DN1414 to handle either balanced or unbalanced signals without loss. A 20k ohm input impedance is
presented when the XLR input connector is used, this impedance is switched out when the jack input is used,
to avoid high-frequency loading effects when the DN1414 is used with unbuffered guitar pick-ups. All
connectors are mounted on the front panel for easy access. Two pad/attenuator switches (-30dB and -15dB)
may be used individually or in combination to provide unity, -15 dB, -30 dB or 45 dB gain. Each DI channel
output is also fitted with a ground lift switch.
