Para Acoustic DI

[brettm357]

Hello all, Just picked up an older Para Acoustic DI - Is the 1/4 output and the XLR balanced or only the XLR (Just found the answer 1/4 is mono unbalanced and XLR is balanced)
Also is the output at MIC level or Line level
I have a DBR10 PA speaker im using that has a MIC/LINE switch trying to work out whats best to use

Sorry for the newbie questions have tried searching with no luck

Hey brettm357,
The DI outputs a Line Level signal from both outputs, but I always recommend setting the input on your mixer or speaker to whatever setting sounds the best. Each input is different so the signal from the DI can interact differently with each setting.

Thankyou - I still have a lot to learn - In most videos i have seen it seems its recommended to have the LR Baggs above half on the volume - Is this true

At this stage i am running the Baggs straight into the PA

It varies from person to person. I like to run mine around noon so I have room to turn up or down if I need to.

I'm installing an anthem sl and gonna run it through a Bugera ac60. I'm thinking about running a para di with an align eq with it. What would be the best way to set this up. Rob

Hey Robert,
There shouldn't be any issues using the SL with either or both of those pedals. The Align EQ and Para DI share some similar features, but they should still work well together in either order.

Thanks , I mainly want to use the align eq as a boost. Rob

[Caleb_Elling]

That makes sense. Using the Align EQ as a boost is cool because you can customize the EQ curve of the boosted signal. I've never done it live, but I've always wanted to try it.
