Operating Elements and Connections
Unbalanced input (6.3 mm jack)
Unbalanced feedthrough output (6.3 mm
jack); at this jack, the fed-through input sig-
nal of jack (1) can be picked up
Switch for attenuating the input signal
Balanced output (XLR)
Groundlift switch for separating the ground
connection between the input (1) and the
output (4)

Safety Notes
The unit corresponds to all relevant directives of
the EU and is therefore marked with 
.
G
The unit is suitable for indoor use only. Protect
it against dripping water and splash water,
high air humidity, and heat (admissible ambi-
ent temperature range 0 – 40 °C).
G
Only use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not
use any chemicals or water.
G
No guarantee claims for the unit and no lia bil-
ity for any resulting personal damage or mate-
rial damage will be accepted if the unit is used
for other purposes than originally intend ed, if it
is not correctly connected, operated, or not
repaired in an expert way.
If the unit is to be put out of operation
definitively, take it to a local recycling
plant for a disposal which is not harm-
ful to the environment.

Applications
The DI Box (Direct Injection) DIB-100 has been
designed for optimum connection of a musical
instrument with unbalanced, high-impedance
output to a balanced, low-impedance input of a
mixer (fig. 2). Due to the balanced connection to
the mixer, interferences can be prevented even
in case of long connection cables.
High signal levels can be reduced with the
attenuator and be matched to the mixer input.
Thus, the DI Box can also be directly connected
to the speaker output of an instrument amplifier
(e. g. guitar amplifier). Consequently, the influ-
ence of the amplifier on the sound of the signal
is maintained.

Setting into Operation
The DI Box does not require a power supply.
4.1 Connecting the unbalanced input
Connect the output of the musical instrument to
the input jack “UNB. 50 kΩ” (1). Alternatively, the
input jack can also be connected to the speaker
output of an instrument amplifier.
If the switch “ATT.” (3) is at the left stop at “0 dB”,
the level of the input signal is not attenuated. If
distor tions occur on the following mixer, set the
switch to position “20 dB” or, in case of very high
signals, to position “40 dB”.
4.2 Connecting the balanced output
The balanced output signal is available at the
XLR output (4). Connect the output via a bal-
 anced cable to a highly sensitive input of a mixer
(e. g. microphone input).
Caution! Never connect speaker outputs of
am plifiers operating in bridge circuit;
the DI Box will short-circuit them.
4.3 Using the feedthrough output
For feeding the instrument signal simultaneously
to an amplifier, connect the amplifier input to the
jack “PAR. OUT” (2) [see fig. 2]. This is where the
signal coming from the instrument is directly
applied.
4.4 Groundlift switch
If the groundlift switch (5) is in “OFF” position,
the ground of the unbalanced input (1) is con-
nected to the ground of the balanced output (4).
This switch position should be chosen first. How-
ever in case of hum loops, set the switch to “ON”
position. Then the ground between input and
output is d.c. separated.
