Overview

The Para DI is a studio quality direct box, featuring a five-band equalizer with tunable notch and midrange controls, adjustable gain and phase inversion. Our proprietary Quasi-Passive EQ circuitry is totally transparent and allows control over voicing without sacrificing tone

Features

• Discrete pure class A FET input for audiophile-quality sound and
very low noise
• 5 Band EQ controls include treble, presence and bass controls, 
along with tunable notch filter and sweepable mid EQ with 2 
octave range
• Phase inversion switch for increased feedback control
• Proprietary Quasi-Passive EQ places synthesized passive EQ 
circuitry in a parallel side-chain with main signal for control of 
instrument voicing without sacrificing tonal purity
• 24 dB of adjustable gain for optimum performance and the 
lowest noise with a variety of input sources, including low 
output pickups
• Balanced XLR and unbalanced outputs for use with an amp or 
PA or both simultaneously
• High input impedance (10 Meg) delivers the full potential of any 
pickup
• High current buffered output drives long cables into difficult, 
low impedance loads without fidelity loss
• Heavy duty steel box provides extra protection
• Runs on 48V phantom power or 9V battery, which provides 200 
hours of play time
• External battery compartment allows quick and easy battery 
changes
