direct box question

[Machine_Head]

Im planning on getting the Behringer Ultra-G DI soon. Is it a good idea to run it straight to the soundcard on my pc? Anybody tried the unit? Reviews please.

Thanks.

It ried "Ultra-G" on a powered mixer lang using Seagul Acoustic gtr...
Maganda...sya...tutoo tunog....
Haven't tried that on PC

pads control the brightness and the bassiness...basta just turn it on parati if not...basag speakers mo......and turn on the 4x12 cab simulator....decente ang labas.

Im getting the Behringer Ultra-G. I believe i dint read anything about no pads there. But thanks for all your advise.

Have you seen the spec sheet? The first page shows the PAD. Really hard to miss. Cuts -20db off your signal and another -20 if you press the other pad. Cab sim is great. Buy na.

advise ko bro is to check if there is an impedance mismatch.how?pa may nadidinig kang hiss sa speakers mo.solution:di-box or preamplifier.mas ok ang preamp kc pde mo shang iinstall inside your guitar(sobrang liit lng)and may gain adjustment pa sha.la ka png bitbit na di-box

[smartjuan]

a mga gumagamit ng di-box for their acoustic guitar na active,pde kayong gumamit ng unbalanced xlr.mas malakas ang pasok at mas mura pa dahil bibili lng kyo ng xlr connector.pde na ding shang pang-rekta sa mixer

+1. its the built-in attenuator for the ultra-G. one versatility of the Ultra-G is that you can get your amp's speaker output (at syempre ibabalik mo ulit sa speaker through the ultra-g) then feed it to a mixing console. syempre don't forget the pads again to protect the mixing console. pero iba rin yung naka mic yung speaker.

i also use this as well for my acoustic guitar (w/ unbalanced output) to plug through a mixing console.

a very versatile gadget.

Im gonna be using this strictly for recording. Recording straight of my stomps sounds bad...

actually, DI boxes are used to convert a load from high impedance to low impedance.

korek, pero hindi na kailangan gawin pa ang "ibalik ulit sa speaker through the DI" kung ang signal naman ay galing sa extension speaker output jack ng amp.

also, convert from line level signal (instrument) to mic level signal.

I have one ...nakaparking sa bag ko....you get decent sounds...but for me micing is the best...if you have a nice amp setup

"Pad"...
Nde ko masyado alam...
pero yung "pad" sa pagkaka intindi ko nibabawasan nya yung signal mo ng ilang db (?).uhmm..nde ko maalala kung dB nga yun.
it is useful lalo na kung yung instrument na sinaksak mo ay nagK"clip" sa speaker...yung parang may biglang may tunog na nagpprito ng tsittsaron kpag nag sstrumm ka ng malakas .or anything na malakas from your instrument. Nde ito usually naayos by reducing the volume level--minsan kahit mahina na eh ganun pa rin. Kapag ni-switch mo yung "pad" parang nag ddown step yung D.I. box mo ng volume level at the same time medyo umaalalay sya dun sanisasaksakan nyang mixer (or soundcard).

So mapapansin mo pag nag-"Pad" ka...hihina yung volume moso kelangan mo itaas ulit para marinig mo...

Pacensya na..nde ko maidefine ng maayos....m speaking from experience lang...buti pa hanapin natin sa Wikipedia..

Mas cheaper ang Samson na D.I. Box

I think 1,800 sya available sya sa Audio sa megamall..

iba po kasi yung setup ko. i modded the speaker connection on my laney hcm65r. i removed the speaker wires inside the amp then replaced it with an angled male jack to connect it to the external speaker socket at the back of the amp. this is my chain: amp speaker out -> to Ultra-G's input -> speaker (getting it from the G's "direct out") while the balanced output goes to the console.

pero iba pa rin ang tunog ng naka-mic ang amp  

also, convert from line level signal (instrument) to mic level signal.

yah. the right words for easy understanding. duh. it was at the tip of my tongue.

oo nga, mas marami parin ang may gusto na naka mic-in ang guitar amp.
