Radial PZ-DI Orchestra Active DI - Your Ultimate Sound Solution
Variable Load for Natural Sound The PZ-DI is a game-changer for acoustic and orchestral instruments. Its variable load feature lets you set the perfect input impedance for your pickups, delivering a more natural sound.
Piezo Problem Solver With a variable load selector switch, you can optimize the performance of your instrument's pickups. The 1 meg ohm setting gives you the classic impedance, while 220k ohm warms up magnetic pickups. The 10 meg ohm setting is ideal for piezo transducers, reducing harsh tones.
Variable Filters for Any Instrument Keep unwanted resonance at bay with the fully-variable low-cut filter. Adjust the roll-off point to match your instrument's frequency response. The switchable high-cut filter softens harshness for a smoother tone.
Unleash Your Sound Whether you're using a piezo pickup, active acoustics, or magnetic pickup, the PZ-DI enhances your sound. Say goodbye to harsh and unnatural tones!
