The Para Acoustic DI is a studio-quality direct box, featuring a five-band equalizer with tunable notch and midrange controls, adjustable gain and phase inversion. Our proprietary quasi-passive EQ circuitry is totally transparent and allows control over voicing without sacrificing tone - a big advance over conventional equalizers.
The Para Acoustic DI direct box is an EQ/Preamp that weights under 1 pound, and is sized to fit the pocket in your guitar case. The Para DI gives you an enormous amount of control over the sound, yet it is surprisingly easy to set up and use, even on stage. The Para DI is built like a tank, and even has a thick non-skid rubber pad on the bottom to make it stay put on stage.
This elegant yet powerful setup can compensate for any amplifier / room / PA problems you might encounter. There is also an effects loop, runs on battery or phantom power, plugs into an amp with either 1/4 inch or XLR cables, and so much more! This is the very latest model, with the GAIN ADJUSTMENT and VOLUME CONTROLS on the front
