Chord DI-F1

The Chord DI-F1 is a passive DI box that allows you to connect unbalanced high-impedance sources, such as electric guitars and basses, to balanced low-impedance inputs, such as those found on mixing consoles and audio interfaces. It features a 1/4" input for connecting your instrument, and a balanced XLR output for connecting to your mixer or audio interface. The DI-F1 also has a ground lift switch to help eliminate ground loops, and a -15dB pad to reduce the signal level if necessary.

The DI-F1 is a great choice for musicians who need a simple and affordable way to connect their instruments to a mixing console or audio interface. It's also a good option for DJs who need to connect unbalanced sources to balanced inputs.

Filter Direct box

Thank you for buying the QTX Sound Filter Direct Box.
Please read and follow these instructions in order to get
the most from your product.
A Direct Box or D.I. box (Direct Inject) is used to convert
high impedance line level signals (like guitar, keyboards,
playback devices etc.) into low impedance, enabling the
signal to travel long distances along balanced cables and
connect directly with a mixing console via the XLR
connector.
This passive Filter Direct Box utilises a high grade audio
transformer to convert the signal and requires no external
power source.
The low impedance and balanced wiring help to reduce
noise and interference in long cable runs.
The QTX Sound Filter Direct Box has the added feature
of an RF filter, to further help remove unwanted radio
frequency interference.
Connection
Operation
Connect signal source (guitar, keyboard etc.) to the
6.3mm jack socket INPUT and if an on-stage
amplifier is to be used, connect to this via the
PARALLEL OUTPUT jack socket.
Depending upon the input type, one of 3 selectable
levels of attenuation will help to match the signal
level so that it doesn’t over-drive the mixer input.
Connect the Filter Direct Box to the mixing console
via balanced XLR cable, ensuring that the channel
is turned down to avoid loud clicks through the
channel. If there is hum present, switching the GND
LIFT to “ON” might help, otherwise this can remain
“OFF”
