Hi,
I have quite a few nice DI boxes already that I use to send instrument signal into different Mic preamps.
Lately I've been having the need to send Instrument signal directly into non-amplified line inputs. (without using any Mic Preamps)
Is there any DIY circuit around or that you know that used the same concept of the DI but with a +4dBU balanced Line Level output instead of Mic Level?
The circuit could be passive or active (it would need it's own PSU)
I'm interested in:
- cheap circuit using Opamps (with output level control)
- more expensive circuit using Discreet circuit or discreet opamp and output transformer (with output level control)
Instrument signal voltage is closer to line level than to a Dynamic Mic output voltage. In a normal DI the instrument level is attenuated to Mic level and them amplified again in the Mic Pre.
It could make sense to not attenuated it and just amplify it one time and enough to achieve +4dBU line level.
