(1)OUTPUT. This is the balanced output of the ULTRA-DI PRO. The connection to the mixing desk should be made with a standard high-quality balanced cable.

(2)+20 dB gain switch for pre-amplification of low level signals.

(3)Switchable HIGH CUT filters (8 kHz) for guitar applications (6 dB/Oct).

(4)With the PHASE REVERSE switch the input signal is reversed in phase by 180°.

(5)Use the GND LIFT switch to either connect the ground of input and output or keep them completely separate. Depending on the grounding of the connected devices linking or disconnecting will reduce hum or prevent ground loops. GROUND LIFT on means no interconnection.

(6)The OUTPUT LEVEL meter displays the output level of the Ultra-DI PRO in a range from ‑24 dB to +18 dB.

(7)Use the POWER switch to turn on the BEHRINGER ULTRA-DI PRO.

(8)LINK. This is the unbalanced parallel output of the ULTRA-DI PRO. Connect this to the input of the backline or monitor amplifier.

(9)INPUT. Connect the source to this 1/4" jack to input the signal.

(10)and (13) The -20 dB ATTENUATION switches greatly increase the operating range of the ULTRA-DI PRO. From the low level signals of a high impedance guitar to the hot speaker terminals of a PA amplifier. Depressing both will give 40 dB attenuation.

◊Only use the -20 dB switches if you are sure the Ultra-DI PRO is clipping (overloading) and not your mic pre-amp. Always use as little attenuation as possible to get the best possible signal-to-noise ratio.

(11)FUSE HOLDER/VOLTAGE SELECTOR. Please make sure that the voltage indicated on the unit matches your local voltage, before you attempt to connect and operate the VINTAGER AC112. Blown fuses may only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating. Some models allow for inserting the fuse holder in two different positions, in order to switch over from 230 V

to 115 V operation, and vice versa. Please note that for 115 V operation outside Europe, you need to use a fuse of a higher rating (see chapter 3 “Installation”). Use the enclosed power cord to connect the unit to the mains.

(12)To provide maximum flexibility the ULTRA-DI PRO is also fitted with an unbalanced XLR INPUT to connect the source.

Fig. 2.1: Guitar DI box Guitar Amp/Mixer

This figure shows the standard application of any Direct Inject box. The signal to the amplifier is unaffected, it is just tapped off to be routed to the microphone input of the mixer. Especially bass guitars benefit from this application. It is difficult to find a microphone which handles high level low frequencies well and with a linear frequency response. Using the ULTRA-DI PRO will give you clean and crisp sound. Connect the ULTRA-DI PRO after any effects devices, so that their effect will be heard over the PA system or on the recording.
