Powering S direct
The S direct can operate on a single 9 Volt battery or standard 24-48 volt phantom power. Whenever phantom power is present on the XLR cable that is connected to the Balanced Output, the S direct will automatically switch to phantom power and disconnect the 9 Volt battery. The Phantom/Battery switch can be used to turn off the battery power when the unit is not in use.
Operating the S direct
A direct box, or DI box, provides the facility for the direct insertion of an audio signal into a mixer or recorder. The S direct offers a variety of DI solutions for live sound and recording applications. You can connect all kinds of audio signals like guitars, keyboards, outboard signal processors and even the high-powered speaker output from an amplifier. The S direct enables you to tap off the signal from a guitar or bass guitar and pass the signal from the Link output to the on stage amplifier without affecting the original sound. This can eliminate the need for micing the guitar amplifi-er, which in many cases is preferable, especially with bass guitar. The S direct is also very useful for connecting unbalanced signals from sources like signal DJ and sub-mixers, effects processors and keyboards to a main PA or recording mixer. Unlike passive direct boxes, the S direct is active (has a power supply), so you can rely on an even frequency response on any audio signal you connect to regardless of its output impedance. Also, the S directʼs balanced output provides a clean signal at a low level so long runs of cable are possible. Another benefit from a balanced con-nection is Common Mode Rejection, which provides cancellation of the bad sounds (hums and buzzes) while leaving the original signal pure.
Direct Insertion of an Instrument into a PA SystemOne of the most common applications for using a DI box is getting the signal of a bass guitar into the PA system. Simply put, the low frequencies produced by bass are difficult to mic, so use of a DI box is almost always preferable. In addition, the signal going to PA system can be tweaked by the FOH (front of house) engineer, without affecting the sound the musician dials up on stage. You can use S direct to plug a guitar directly into the PA system as well, especially acoustic guitars with pick-ups and when using electronic guitar processors and modelers. Follow the diagram and steps below to connect a guitar to a PA mixer.
• Connect the output of the guitar or bass to the S directʼs INPUT.• Connect S directʼs OUTPUT/LINK to the input of the guitar or bass amplifier.• Connect S directʼs BALANCED OUTPUT to the input of main PA mixer.

Operating the S direct
Connecting to High Power Signals The S direct provides the capability of tapping off the signals from amplifiers, such as the output of a guitar amp or power amplifier. You can even use S direct to connect to the speaker output of a consumer stereo system or boom box, for example, if you want to sample some old records or cassette tapes. NOTE: Be sure that the LEVEL switch is set to the AMP position before connecting the sig-nal from the output of any amplifier.Follow the diagram and steps below to connect a powered output of a guitar amplifier to a PA mixer.• Connect the output of the guitar or bass to the guitar amp input.• Set the Level switch to the SPK position.• Using unshielded speaker cable, connect the guitar ampʼs speaker output to the S
directʼs INPUT. • Using another unshielded speaker cable, connect S directʼs OUTPUT/LINK to the
input of the guitar amplifiers speaker.• Connect S directʼs BALANCED OUTPUT to the input of main PA mixer.
NOTE: To avoid annoying pops and clicks be sure to mute (or turn down the volume control) of your mixerʼs output while connecting the S direct, or when switching from battery to phantom power.
Converting the Output of Unbalanced Devices The S direct can be quite useful on stage or in the studio for connecting unbalanced devices, particularly keyboards. The output levels of many keyboards are low, so their sig-nals can benefit greatly by connecting their unbalanced outputs to the S direct. By doing so the signal can be sent cleanly for long distances while ben-efiting from the low noise and common mode rejection pro-vided by S directʼs bal-anced low-level out-put. The diagram fol-lowing shows a typical hook-up for a stereo keyboard connected to a stereo stage monitor system and the main PA mixer.
