if that's the case, then get a passive DI like the RADIAL StageBug. that's the problem with Active DI's. it is dependent on a power source. best to have 2 dis in your bag. an active and a passive.
the passive will be saving your ass more often than not, and will be enough to balance your signal. as you are sending signals from your M-Audio (which is already considered an active signal), a passive DI is more often than not preferred.
if you're not liking the tone in the passive di, it means youre using a subpar DI with cheapo transformers. good passive DIs sound transparent imho.
if you still prefer the active DI, you can buy those newstar adaptors with oldschool 9V battery heads to power your DI, I really advise against this tho (noise issues)
good luck!
Hello.
Thanks for your advise. I'm actually considering getting a stagebug now. Just curious, how does the passive DI basically power itself?
For getting the newstar adaptor, will it destroy the unit?
