PAN02PRO
DI BOX ACTIVE
SCOPE OF APPLICATION
A DI box is used to change an unbalanced, high impedance line level signal to a balanced low impedance signal for
connection to a microphone input. An unbalanced high impedance cable routing is susceptible to hum and other noise.
The cable length is limited because with longer cables, not only does the noise level rise, but due to cable capacitance,
you can also expect a loss of highs. These problems are avoided with low impedance balanced signal routing. For this
reason, this type of routing is used almost exclusively in professional studios and for live performances.
The PAN02 PRO is an active DI box. It can be operated on phantom power on the console, as well as via a 9
V battery. As an active device, the PAN02 PRO can also amplify the signal: therefore, it provides not only mic
level, but also line level at the output.

1. If the equipment has been exposed to strong fluctuations in temperature (for example, after transport),
do not switch it on immediately. Moisture and condensation could damage the equipment. Do not switch
on the equipment until it has reached room temperature.
2. Before connecting the equipment to the power outlet, first verify that the mains voltage and frequency
match the values specified on the equipment. If the equipment has a voltage selection switch, connect
the equipment to the power outlet only if the equipment values and the mains power values match. If the
included power cord or power adapter does not fit in your wall outlet, contact your electrician.
3. Do not step on the power cord. Make certain that the power cable does not become kinked, especially at
the mains outlet and/or power adapter and the equipment connector.
4. When connecting the equipment, make certain that the power cord or power adapter is always freely accessible. Always disconnect the equipment from the power supply if the equipment is not in use or if you
want to clean the equipment. Always unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet at

CONNECTORS
Line level signals, such as those from keyboards, are connected via a shielded instrument cable with jack plug
(6.3 mm mono jack/TS jack) into the jack labelled "Input". In addition, there is also an unbalanced switchable
XLR/f input (PIN 1+3 = ground, PIN 2 = hot). With the PAN02 PRO, unbalanced XLR inputs can thus be converted
into balanced outputs, for example. If the signal is to be simultaneously connected to a different amplifier, use
the "Link" jack as a parallel connector for looping the signal. All unbalanced cables should not be longer than is
absolutely necessary. Therefore, the PAN02 PRO should optimally be placed near the unbalanced source.
The low impedance balanced output signal is available on the rear panel XLR/m socket. The assignment of the
connector is compliant with standards (PIN 2 = hot, PIN 3 = cold) .
The connection to a mixer input is performed with a balanced, shielded microphone cable. The cable length is
not critical and may be 100 feet or more, without an audible deterioration of the signal.
POWER SUPPLY
As mentioned above, the PAN02 can be powered by a 9 V battery as well as through the existing phantom power
(48 V) available in many mixing consoles. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the desired position. A control LED above
the switch lights up green when phantom power is present and red when power is supplied by a 9 V battery. An
alkaline 9 V battery (6LR61) or higher must be available in the battery compartment. (Caution: when loading, be
aware of the correct polarity as marked). The PAN02 PRO has an internal voltage transformer, which converts the
different sources to the required supply voltage. If you operate the PAN02 PRO at the output with LINE level, the
box should preferably be powered with a 9 V battery. By design, phantom power supplies only a limited amount of
power, which may result in a signal limitation at the output. Usually LINE inputs do not provide phantom power.
The status LED is located in the current path of the PAN02 PRO. Depending on sensitivity, the brightness may
vary slightly.
PAD SWITCH 10 DB + 20 DB
Unlike passive DI boxes, there is no signal loss between input and output of the PAN02 PRO. This may be
overridden by a connected microphone input on a mixing console. Therefore, a three-stage circuit is available
for level reduction. The -10 dB PAD pressure switch attenuates the signal accordingly. A greater reduction is
achieved by the -20 dB PAD switch. If both switches are pressed simultaneously, the input signal is reduced
by 10 dB + 20 dB = 30 dB.
EN ENDE ES

GAIN +12d
At low input levels, especially if the output of the PAN02 PRO requires a LINE signal, the amplification of the
box may be raised by 12 dB by pressing the switch so labelled. One conceivable scenario would be if a device
connected at the input, providing only a semi-professional -10 dBV level, requires +4 dBu/6 dBu on the output
for studio purposes.
Please note that unnecessary gain increases the noise level.
GROUND LIFT/SOFT GROUND
The design of the PAN02 PRO with an output transformer allows a separation of the ground connection
between input and output. The galvanic isolation prevents ground loops, which occur by double grounding (e.g.
when an instrument is grounded via a European Schuko plug and a grounded mixer). In the simplest case, the
ground lift switch should be operated by ear. As a rule of thumb, for devices that are grounded via their power
supply, the switch should be placed in the LIFT position and for battery powered instruments, the GND position
should be used.
In the SOFT GND position, the masses are not directly connected to each other, but a "soft" ground occurs
instead via a capacitor. It is a fact that many digital devices carry high frequency on the ground line. In order to
effectively avoid these high frequencies, which often make a whirring noise in the audio system, a ground via
a capacitor is sufficient. Thus, the device is grounded for high frequency, but for the 50 Hz mains frequency,
the capacitor represents a sufficiently large resistance. Thus, ground loops are effectively prevented. So if the
sound card of a computer is connected to the audio system using a DI box, the SOFT GND position can yield
the optimal solution.

PAN02PRO
DI-BOX AKTIV
ANWENDUNGSBEREICH
Eine DI-Box hat die Aufgabe, ein unsymmetrisches, hochohmiges Line-Pegel Signal so zu wandeln, dass es
symmetrisch niederohmig zum Anschluss an einen Mikrofoneingang zur Verfügung steht. Eine unsymmetrische hochohmige Kabelführung ist anfällig für Brummen und andere Störsignale. Auch ist die
Kabellänge begrenzt, da mit längeren Kabeln nicht nur die Nebengeräusche steigen, sondern -durch Kabelkapazitäten bedingt- auch mit einem Verlust an Höhen zu rechnen ist. Diese Probleme werden bei niederohmiger
symmetrischer Signalführung vermieden. Daher findet man im professionellen Studio- und Live-Bereich diese Art der
Signalführung fast ausschließlich.
Die PAN02 PRO ist eine aktive DI-Box. Sie kann sowohl über die Phantomspeisung eines Mischpultes, als
auch über eine 9V Batterie betrieben werden. Als aktives Gerät kann die PAN02 PRO aber auch das Signal
verstärken: Deshalb liefert sie nicht nur Mikrofonpegel, sondern auch Line-Pegel am Ausgang.
