ACOUSTIC DI

USER’S GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

Inspired by the LR Baggs Handcrafted Video Sessions
and our experience in some of Nashville’s great studios,
Session Acoustic DI brings our signature studio sound to
your live rig. The Session DI enhances your acoustic
pickup and imparts the rich sonic character that you’d
expect from an experienced audio engineer using some
of the world’s nest studio gear. We’ve captured this
studio magic and put it into a compact, easy-to-use DI
that will transform your live sound.

GETTING STARTED

1. Power the Session DI with a 9V battery, 9V DC power
supply (not provided) or 48V phantom power. An
orange light will indicate 9V battery or DC power
and a green light will indicate 48V phantom power.

2. Plug your guitar into the input to activate the Session
DI (upper right hand side) and a cable to either the
¼” output (upper left hand side) or the XLR output
(on the top).

3. Adjust the gain control by using the VU meter. Read
section B in this manual for setting your gain to the
appropriate level.

4. Plug the ¼” and/or XLR output cable into your amp
or PA and experiment with the Session DI.

achieving optimum sound quality and signal-to-noise
ratio. If you have a volume control on your guitar, make
sure it is turned all the way up before setting the gain.
