SubZero Active DI Box Overview

View this description in Swedish

Whether you're on-stage or in the studio, the SubZero Active DI Box is an essential tool you can't afford to be without. Sometimes, we just don't get it right. When you're working to strict schedules and tight budgets, at times you'll have to compromise, the fast-paced nature of each session means you may not achieve sounds you're happy with and regret at a later stage. Well, regret no more thanks to SubZero!

The Active DI Box is the ultimate safety net. Electric guitars, basses, acoustic instruments with pick-ups, keyboards, synths. You name it, this box captures it! Made from only the finest, hand-sourced components, you'll be guaranteed ultra-transparent, high-fidelity recordings, without fail. Thanks to its full-frequency, flat response you can rest assured knowing that what you're hearing in the room will translate to the speakers. The DI Box captures every nuance, without any compromises, completely free from noise or hum.

Housed within a robust, all-metal chassis, the SubZero DI Box is able to stand the rigours of continued use, whilst delivering a solid, consistent performance at all times. On-board phantom power (48V) can be used as an external power source when connected to your mixer and can even bring your condenser microphones to life. Regardless of where you are, or what task you're undertaking, make sure you have one or two of these in your kit!

Why choose active?

It doesn't get much better than recording with an Active DI Box. The inclusion of an on-board preamp delivers a stronger signal and greater input impedance. Thanks to this, it will be able to capture low-level signals with ease. Active DI's are renowned for their low-noise design, high-fidelity reproduction and transparency when it comes to tone.

Power up

Incredibly versatile. You'll be able to power-up your Active DI Box multiple ways. If you're recording on location then you'll be able to simply insert a readily available 9V battery (not included) to power the device. However, if you're working in the studio take advantage of the XLR input to connect directly to your interface to supply 48V phantom power.

Don't be fazed by phase

If you're using the thru channel to send the signal to your amplifier whilst capturing the DI then it's worth checking the phase relationship of both signals. Phase is the relationship that exists between two or more signals that come from one source. You'll find that phase issues occur when these signals arrive back at the DAW or mixer at slightly different times. Although the delay might seem very minor, it can cause drop outs in the frequency spectrum, making your tracks sound "hollow".

A good way to check if your source is in phase is to position the pan points at the centre in your DAW or mixer and then engage and disengage the phase button to compare the quality of the signal. If when engaged the signal feels "fuller" and has more low-frequency presence then it's likely the original signal was out of phase. If it sounds "thinner" and "brittle" then the signal was in phase and does not need correcting.

Total control over your audio

When you're directly recording into your interface, you'll notice that sources such as guitars and basses with high output pickups produce stronger signals which can sometimes lead to clipping and distortion, even when the gain control is set to minimum. SubZero have thought of everything. The Active DI Box includes a -20dB pad switch. This reduces the sensitivity of the box, allowing you to capture "hotter" signals with ease.
