Heritage Audio Expands Direct Injection Lineup wiht Four New DI Boxes
Heritage Audio has announced the release of four new direct injection (DI) boxes-the PDI, PDI2, P OF ONE, and a currently unnamed single-channel option-designed for both studio recording and live stage applications. These passive DI boxes aim to provide impedance matching, signal balancing, and ground loop isolation for clean audio signals.
The new models address a critical need for reliable DI solutions in modern audio production. DI boxes are essential for connecting instruments with high-impedance, unbalanced outputs (like guitars and basses) to mixing consoles and audio interfaces with low-impedance, balanced inputs. By converting the signal, DI boxes minimize noise, reduce signal loss, and ensure optimal sound quality. The Heritage Audio DI boxes utilize HA-DI transformers with nickel cores and MU-METAL shielding to further enhance signal clarity and reject interference.
Key Features Across the Range:
* PDI: A single-channel passive DI box featuring one 6.3 mm balanced input, one 6.3 mm balanced thru output, and one XLR balanced output.dimensions are 130 x 77 x 50 mm,with a weight of 0.558kg.
* PDI2: A two-channel passive DI box with two 6.3 mm balanced inputs, two 6.3 mm balanced thru outputs, and two XLR balanced outputs. It measures 130 x 158 x 50 mm and weighs 0.868kg.
* P OF ONE: A single-channel passive DI box offering one 6.3 mm balanced input, one 6.3 mm balanced thru output, and one XLR balanced output. Its dimensions are 130 x 77 x 50 mm, and it weighs 0.495kg.
* Common Features: All models include a -15 dB PAD switch for handling high-level signals and a Ground/Lift switch to eliminate ground loop hum.
