Customer Questions & Answers
-
Question:
What is a DI box?
Answer: A DI box is a device used to convert an unbalanced, high impedance signal into a balanced, low impedance signal. This allows for sending the signal over long distances without loss of quality or introducing noise. -
Question:
What is the purpose of the ground lift on the Sidekick DI box?
Answer: The ground lift switch on the Sidekick DI box is used to reduce noise and hum caused by ground loops. It disconnects the ground wire in the signal path, which can help solve grounding issues. -
Question:
Can I use the Sidekick DI box with electronic drums?
Answer: Yes, the Sidekick DI box can be used with any electronic musical instrument that has a mono phone output, including electronic drums. It will convert the high impedance signal to a low impedance, balanced signal for sending over long distances or to a mixing console.
