1. Welcome to the BEHRINGER Family!

On stage a s well as in studios, i t is sometimes
advantageous to connect certain sound
sources d irectly to the mi xing console.
Sincemany instruments (keyboards,
forexamp le) don’thave balanced ou tputs
they requ ire a DI-box. Some times,
evenguita rs can’t be direc tly connecte d to
mixing con soles because t heir impedance is
too high.

By using a DI- box, you can direc tly tap into
a high-impedance, unbalanced signal—
forexamp le, a signal betwee n a guitar and a
guitar am plier. From this point , you can feed
this signal d irectly to a mix ing console.

There are active and passive DI-boxes. A passive
DI-box is more aordable, but its performance
is dependent on the impedance of the device
to which it is connected. When the impedance
on the mixing console’s end changes, so does
the impedance at the input of the DI-box.
Such DI-boxes only function properly when
the connected impedance values are strictly
specied (high at the input, low at the output).
Active DI-boxes are not aected by these
impedance considerations. The input impedance
of the DI20 is extremely high, and it absolutely
does not inuence the signal ow through the
DI-box. The output impedance is balanced and
always very low, whereby the signal is far less
prone to being aected by noise.

◊ To prevent damaging your

loudspeakers, first connect the
DI-box and t hen hook up the
respective channel. The same goes
for alternating between battery and
phantom power operating modes.

7 ULTRA-DI DI20

(1) CH. 1 IN input is u sed to connect

unbalance d as well as balanced sig nal

sources to c hannel 1.

(2) CH.1 OUT is the balanced out put at mic

level for ch annel 1.

(3) CH.2 IN inpu t is used to connec t

unbalance d as well as balanced sig nal

sources to c hannel 2. In Link mode

(see(6)) this co nnector func tions as

output an d sends the signal

direc tly from channel 1.

(4) CH. 2 OUT is the ba lanced output at

mic level fo r channel 2. In Link Mode

(see(6)) this co nnector sends t he signal

direc tly from channel 1.

(5) The ATTENUATION dampening switch

considerably increases the useful

operati ng range of the DI20 fr om low

signal levels of a high-impendence

microph one or a guitar, all the way

to the speake r connectors of a g uitar

amplier (s olid state). You can

selec t between 20 and 40 d B worth

ofattenuation.

◊ You should on ly use the ATTENUATION

switch w hen your DI20 rather t han

the mixing console preamp begins

distorting. Otherwise refrain

from us ing this func tion to avoid

excessive dampening.

(6) The MODE switc h lets you selec t the

operati ng modes of the DI20. In th e
2-CH mode, t wo independent sig nals
can be conn ected to channel s 1 and 2
respec tively. In LINK mode the DI- box
funct ions as a splitter : One signal can
be fed to the c hannel 1 input and spl it
into two ba lanced signals (at outp uts
1 and 2) and an unba lanced signal
at CH.1 OUT. The un-balanc ed signal
can, forex ample, be connec ted to an
additional amplier.

◊ When connecting a tube amplifier

to the inpu t of the DI20, please keep
in mind tha t an appropria te load
resist ance (e. g. a loudspeak er)
must be co nnected to the CH.1 OUT
(LINK MODE) con nector.

(7) The BAT TERY sw itch activate s the

batter y powered mode. Se t the battery
operati ng mode to OFF when your
DI20 is connec ted to phantom powe r.
While set ting it to OFF, brief whist ling
noise may occ ur. This is completely
normal and needs no further attention.
However, you should not change the
batter y switch when you h ave an amp
connected. For battery operation,
you’llonl y need a commercial 9 V
batter y of the 6LR61 type.

(8) By using th e GROUND switch, y ou can

interrupt (LIFT) the grounding between

the input an d output. Depen ding on

how other de vices connecte d to your

DI-box are grounded, ground loops can

be eliminated.

◊ Never conn ect pin 2 or pin 3 to pi n 1!

Never remo ve the screen pro tection

on pin 1. Othe rwise, you won’t b e able

to run the DI20 o n phantom power

(for examp le, phantom power f rom a

mixing console).

4. Audio Connections

The BEHRINGE R ULTRA-D I DI20 features
electronically servo -balanced standard inputs
and outpu ts. The circuit d esign is equippe d
with auto matic hum suppress ion for balanced
signals and o perates problem -free even at
high levels. Externally induced mains hum
is thus ec iently suppress ed. The servo
function automatically detect s unbalanced
pin connections and changes the nominal
level inter nally by 6 dB so that ther e is
no diere nce in level betwe en input and
outputsi gnals.

This conguration is recommended when
using a DJ-mixer or another signal source,
which sends an unbalanced line level signal.
In additio n, if you need a separ ate monitor
signal, the li ne level signal can be s ent to
another amplier.
