The
SES
-
DIPRO
gives you unprecedented flexibility in injecting signals into your microphone preamplifier with a very
basic setup. Plug the output of your instrument (electric guitar, bass, keyboard, etc.) into the
IN
jack on the SES
-
DIPRO,
connect an XLR cable to the
DIPRO
’
s OUT
jack, and plug the other end of this cable into the input of your microphone
preamplifier (a standalone unit, a mic input on your mixing board, or even the mic input on your audio interface). The
DIPRO IN
jack can accept XLR, ¼
”
balanced TRS and ¼
”
unbalanced TS cables
The
ATT
(attenuation) switch knocks your signal down by 20, 40 or 60db. This lets you plug in a traditional passive
instrument (electric guitar or bass) or, unlike other DI boxes, a balanced or unbalanced line level output from your mixing
board, a piece of rack equipment, or your audio interface itself. Simply adjust the
ATT
switch to the setting that works
best with your microphone preamplifier. Aim for a level that isn
’
t too low or too hot, but squarely in the
“
green
”
of your VU
meter. Fine tune your gain at the mic preamp.
The
LOOP OUT
jack allows you to connect your instrument to an amplifier or other equipment, unaffected, while still
pulling a signal into your mic preamp through the
SES
-
DIPRO
. In the scenario above, connect an unbalanced cable
between the
LOOP OUT
jack and your amplifier to monitor your instrument. This jack can also send a balanced signal if
you are plugging a balanced signal into the
IN
jack.
If you receive excessive hum or buzz when connected to your microphone preamplifier, try flipping the
GROUND LIFT
switch on the
DIPRO
. This option is most effective when running active, electronic equipment (rack units, line out from an
amp or output from a powered pedal) into the
DIPRO
. This switch is not typically needed if you are using a passive
electric guitar or bass.
If you find your
DIPRO
signal is negatively interfering with another signal (maybe you have a mic on your amp and you are
mixing the two signals together) try throwing the
PHASE
switch. This switch reverses the positive and negative polarity of
your
DIPRO
signal and can fix phase interference.
