1. Welcome to the

BEHRINGER Family!

On stage as well as in studios, it is sometimes

advantageous to connect certain sound

sources directly to the mixing console.

Sincemany instruments (keyboards,

forexample) don’thave balanced outputs

they require a DI-box. Sometimes,

evenguitars can’t be directly connected to

mixing consoles because their impedance is

too high.

By using a DI-box, you can directly tap into

a high-impedance, unbalanced signal—

forexample, a signal between a guitar and a

guitar amplier. From this point, you can feed

this signal directly to a mixing 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 then hook up the

respective channel. The same goes

for alternating between battery and

phantom power operating modes.

2. Controls

N11999

Fig. 2.1: Controls of the DI20

7ULTRA-DI DI20

(1) CH. 1 IN input is used to connect

unbalanced as well as balanced signal

sources to channel 1.

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

level for channel 1.

(3) CH.2 IN input is used to connect

unbalanced as well as balanced signal

sources to channel 2. In Link mode

(see(6)) this connector functions as

output and sends the signal

directly from channel 1.

(4) CH. 2 OUT is the balanced output at

mic level for channel 2. In Link Mode

(see(6)) this connector sends the signal

directly from channel 1.

(5) The ATTENUATION dampening switch

considerably increases the useful

operating range of the DI20 from low

signal levels of a high-impendence

microphone or a guitar, all the way

to the speaker connectors of a guitar

amplier (solid state). You can

select between 20 and 40 dB worth

ofattenuation.

◊ You should only use the ATTENUATION

switch when your DI20 rather than

the mixing console preamp begins

distorting. Otherwise refrain

from using this function to avoid

excessive dampening.

(6) The MODE switch lets you select the

operating modes of the DI20. In the

2-CH mode, two independent signals

can be connected to channels 1 and 2

respectively. In LINK mode the DI-box

functions as a splitter: One signal can

be fed to the channel 1 input and split

into two balanced signals (at outputs

1 and 2) and an unbalanced signal

at CH.1 OUT. The un-balanced signal

can, forexample, be connected to an

additional amplier.

◊ When connecting a tube amplifier

to the input of the DI20, please keep

in mind that an appropriate load

resistance (e. g. a loudspeaker)

must be connected to the CH.1 OUT

(LINK MODE) connector.

(7) The BATTERY switch activates the

battery powered mode. Set the battery

operating mode to OFF when your

DI20 is connected to phantom power.

While setting it to OFF, brief whistling

noise may occur. This is completely

normal and needs no further attention.

However, you should not change the

battery switch when you have an amp

connected. For battery operation,

you’llonly need a commercial 9 V

battery of the 6LR61 type.

8ULTRA-DI DI20

(8) By using the GROUND switch, you can

interrupt (LIFT) the grounding between

the input and output. Depending on

how other devices connected to your

DI-box are grounded, ground loops can

be eliminated.

◊ Never connect pin 2 or pin 3 to pin 1!

Never remove the screen protection

on pin 1. Otherwise, you won’t be able

to run the DI20 on phantom power

(for example, phantom power from a

mixing console).

To access the battery compartment,

loosenthe screw on the rear.

This illustration shows the standard

application of a DI-box. The signal is fed

unbalanced to a guitar amp and balanced to a

mixing console (LINK mode). This application

has advantages when used with bass guitars,

because very few microphones are able to

pick up low frequencies at high levels.

This conguration is recommended when

using a DJ-mixer or another signal source,

which sends an unbalanced line level signal.

In addition, if you need a separate monitor

signal, the line level signal can be sent to

another amplier.

4. Audio Connections

The BEHRINGER ULTRA-DI DI20 features

electronically servo-balanced standard inputs

and outputs. The circuit design is equipped

with automatic hum suppression for balanced

signals and operates problem-free even at

high levels. Externally induced mains hum

is thus eciently suppressed. The servo

function automatically detects unbalanced

pin connections and changes the nominal

level internally by 6 dB so that there is

no dierence in level between input and

outputsignals.

For unbalanced use, pin 1 and pin 3

have to be bridged
