FUSE COMPARTMENT/VOLTAGE SELECTION: Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure you have selected the correct voltage. Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating without exception. Some units feature a fuse compartment that can be operated in two different positions, allowing alternating between 230 V and 120 V. Attention: when using the unit outside of Europe (running on 120 V), you have to implement a fuse with a higher rating (see chapter 5 “SPECIFICATIONS”).

This configuration lends itself to use with a keyboard, DJ mixer or other mono/stereo signal sources with line level, particularly when using long cables (e.g. connecting to a FOH mixer). The signal can be looped through to another amplifier via the LINK output. Thus, you get a monitor signal that is independent from the actual FOH signal (useful for keyboarders, DJs etc.).
3.3 Converting a microphone signal

3.4 Taking a signal from a speaker output
Sometimes, you want to take a signal directly from a speaker output, even though just one speaker output is available. By using the
Fig. 3.4: Connection to a power amp output
+Before connecting to a loudspeaker connector, please make sure that the GROUND LIFT switch is in the ON position (no ground connection). This prevents accidental shorting of the amp output. Besides, the tip of the input connector should be connected to the speaker connector marked with red. The metal casing of the DI800 should in no case have physical contact to other equipment.
4.AUDIO CONNECTIONS
+Please make sure that your DI800 is installed and handled only by people with enough technical expertise. Assure that those operating the unit during and after the installation are sufficiently grounded. Otherwise, electrostatic charge may alter the performance of your equipment or damage it permanently.
