can have more ‘reach’ and enhance the sound of some instruments. Passive DIs tend to sound more ‘down to earth’ and
less colored than active DIs. The real advantage of passive DIs over active ones is that they eliminate hum & buzz caused
by ground loops by using a transformer to isolate the input signal from the output.
Can I use a piezo pickup with the PRO DI?
If your piezo equipped instrument has it's own pre-amp and battery you can use the PRO DI with excellent results. If your
piezo equipped instrument does not have a pre-amp then you really need to have a higher input impedance to get the
most out of a piezo without a pre-amp. The Radial JDV has a 4 meg-ohm input impedance that is perfectly suited for these
types of pickups.
