Congratulations for purchasing the ADI-2 2-Channel Active Direct Inject Box. This unique
unit is the ultimate, multi-functional active DI box. The ADI-2 is indispensable for solving
many audio mismatch and hum problems in numerous stage and studio applications.

• Simultaneous dual inputs and outputs for stereo or multi-source use
• Eliminates impedance mismatch problems and converts any sound source at

almost any level (from guitar to speaker) into a clean, powerful hum-free, noise-
free and interference-free balanced signal perfect for even extremely long cable
runs

• Full-featured controls and connections include On/Off, Ground Lift, and Guitar/

Speaker Source Select input attenuation switches; unbalanced 1/4" TS Input and
Parallel Link Output jacks; and servo-balanced XLR Output jack.

• Parallel link output allows ultimate hookup flexibility by enabling applications such

as connection to the input of the backline or monitor amplifier.

• No compromise circuit design and stringent component selection provide

absolutely flat, full frequency response across the entire audio spectrum, and
negligible distortion for the most natural, powerful audio available.

• Portable aircraft aluminum extruded case for ultimate roadworthiness, long life and

reliability

• Powered either by console’s +48V phantom power or internal 9V battery

Specifications

Connected to Instrument

The ADI-2 can be used to connect the unbalanced output of an instrument or line level
device (eg. guitar, bass, synthesizer, effects module, another mixer) to the balanced
input of a mixer or amplifier. Set the 

GUITAR/SPEAKER (3)

 switch to GUITAR for this

application. If you desire to send the original unbalanced signal on to a mixer or
amplifier, use the 

1/4" unbalanced output (5)

.  The 

1/4" output (5)

 is paralleled with

the input, therefore, when using the 

1/4" output (5)

, the input device and output device

volume controls may need to be adjusted to acquire the desired level.

Connected to Amplifier

The ADI-2 can be used to connect an amplifier’s speaker output, or a speaker’s “daisy
chain” output, to the balanced input of a mixer. Set the 

GUITAR/SPEAKER (3)

 switch to

SPEAKER for this application.  If your speaker has only one connector, the ADI-2 can
be inserted between the amplifier and speaker using the 

1/4" input (4)

 and 

1/4" LINK

OUTPUT (5)

 jacks.
