LR Baggs Para DI

The Para Acoustic D.I. 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. In short, the Para D.I. Is engineered to bring out the best in any pickup.

The multiple award-winning Para Acoustic D.I. is a portable high-fidelity universal preamp/EQ/direct box that can make any pickup sound its best. Its features include:

- Discrete pure class A FET input for audiophile-quality sound and very low noise

- 5 Band EQ controls include treble, presence and bass controls, along with tunable notch filter and sweepable mid EQ with 2 octave range

- Phase inversion switch for increased feedback control

- Proprietary Quasi-Passive EQ™ places synthesized passive EQ circuitry in a parallel side-chain with main signal for control of instrument voicing without sacrificing tonal purity

- 24 dB of adjustable gain for optimum performance and the    lowest noise with a variety of input sources, including low output pickups

- Balanced XLR and unbalanced ¼” outputs for use with an amp or PA or both simultaneously

- High input impedance (10 Meg) delivers the full potential of any pickup

- High current buffered output drives long cables into difficult, low impedance loads without fidelity loss

- Heavy duty steel box provides extra protection

- Runs on 48V phantom power or 9V battery, which provides 200  hours of playtime

- External battery compartment allows quick and easy battery changes
