A DESIGN THAT HAS BEEN 15 YEARS IN THE MAKING
While passive DI boxes are often seen as dongles or adapters, we prefer to see them as a
storefront display window: your goods might be the best available but you need a glass that is
clean, transparent and unscratched so your goods can shine and be appreciated. The less you
notice it, the better. That is why we’ve decided to create our own DI boxes based on 15 years of
R&D, tests, failures and successes.
It would have been impossible to deliver the superior clean passive design of the P DI ONE and
P DI 2 if we hadn’t already mastered transparent passive signal handling with our R.A.M monitor
controller series, specifically with the Baby R.A.M, the undefeated category leader for almost a
decade now.
Transformers are the main ingredient on any high-level passive DI and the only way to master
the transformer world is pure experience. We’ve spent the last 15 years designing custom-made
transformers with almost every reputable manufacturer in the world, thoroughly measuring
different alloys to perfectly adjust the response to what each particular design requires and
finally, we found the best one for the job, the HA-DI. It has the ideal combination of a nickel core
for an ultra-transparent signal transfer and MU Metal shielding for protection against any
unwanted noise or interference caused by outside sources.
THE BEST THING ABOUT A PASSIVE D.I. IS FORGETTING THAT IT ́S EVEN THERE
The P DI ONE and P DI 2 work best with active circuit instruments like keyboards, synths, drum
machines, samplers and some guitars and basses, when they are required to be plugged into a
PA or recording system. By matching the instrument’s output level to a typical microphone level,
converting it to a balanced signal and minimising noise, you can be sure you’ll achieve the
strongest, clearest signal possible.
DELIVERING THE NATURAL, CLEAR TONE OF YOUR INSTRUMENT, WITH NO ARTIFACTS
ADDED.
Thanks to its passive, power-free design, the P DI ONE and P DI 2 converts the impedance
from high to low and balances the signal using a magnetic transformer that transfers audio while
blocking unwanted DC voltage and RFI. This makes it especially effective at eliminating hum
and buzz from ground loops while maintaining the tone of your instrument at every stage.
And as with all Heritage Audio products, you can be rest assured that you are getting a sturdily
built, ultra-durable product at a price that is right.
