Optogate Smart DI

There are hundreds of different di box models for little money on the market. Our target was not to build one more standard di. We just wanted to to do something better...

You know the "funny" problems when it comes to di boxes: No signal bargraph, the result is "marathon running" between stage and desk and looking for signals - A loud "Plopp" when connect or remove an input connector. These problems are now past. The new "Smart DI" have an integrated microcontroller and an lcd display. The impulse responses and the distortion values on low frequencies are better compared to other di´s due to the transformerless floating design. The XLR output is muted if no connector is plugged in and will be switched on after about 0,8 sec. if an input connector will be plugged in. A foot button allow the artist to mute the Smart DI again if necessary. The foot button can be disabled for any reasons. The input impedance is 1,6 M-Ohm. This is higher compared to the most other di´s. This will prevent your instrument sound from any coloration. The "Smart DI" works with 48V phantom power and - of course the complete signal flow is pure analog.
