I think everyone knows what a DI box is to some extent. If you’ve been on a stage even a few times you’ve seen keyboards, acoustic and even electric guitars plugged into one. If you’ve wondered what actually happens when you use one or when to lift the ground switch then this video is for you.

I’ll take you through what a DI box is and how to use a DI box in a live sound environment. We’ll cover the advanced features like the thru output, pad and ground lift switch. We’ll also take a look at when to use a passive DI box or an active DI box.

Afterwards, you’ll be confident in what’s happening when you use one, you’ll know when it’s important to use one and you be able to choose the right DI box for the job.
