PZ-DI™  User Guide

usIng an amPlIfIer

If you are using an on-stage amplifier for personal monitor

-

ing, use the THRU to make this connection. This is basically 

a pass-through that takes the original signal and feeds it 

to your amp. 

sIde aCCess buffer Thru on swITCh

The PZ-DI features a side access buffer ON ‘set & forget’ 

switch that allows the thru-put connector to be used two 

ways. 

buffer off

When OFF (out position) the direct signal from the source 

instrument is sent thru to the amp. This setting is typically 

used with an active instrument such as an acoustic guitar 

or passive instrument such as a bass where you do not 

want  to  ‘amplify’  the  signal  before  it  reaches  the  stage 

amp. This sends the original ‘dry’ signal from the instrument 

without the buffer. 

buffer on

When on (in position), the signal is buffered (or amplified) 

before it is sent to the thru-put connector. This is typically 

used when the source is a piezo transducer and the buffered 

signal at the thru-put will benefit the stage amp with a more 

appropriate output.  Buffering the signal also allows longer 

cable runs with less noise.
