What is a DI and do you need one? Active or Passive DI? This video explains the differences and shows connection diagrams and important information.
A DI box, which means Direct Injection ( D.I. Box ), allows you to connect your instrument to the balanced inputs of a mixer in a sound system, or to a recording console or USB Pre and DAW in the studio. While standard instrument cable is susceptible to noise after a few feet of length, balanced signals can remain relatively noise free over even hundreds of feet. That makes them perfect for connecting acoustic guitars, synthesizers, and bass guitars to a sound system or recording desk / DAW. Even when the mixing desk is a 100' or more away from the stage. And important tech tool for live audio since the mixer is not always close to the musicians at the stage.

Also discussed is the ground lift switch for defeating ground loop noise, hookup cables, and best practices for using a DI for live sound reinforcement or recording.

A DI box is also useful when tracking guitar in you DAW so that you can record a second, clean track, along with your mic'ed amplifier. The clean track then can be re-amped later should you decide you don't like the sound of the original mic'ed amp. A hookup diagram for this is also in the video.

Various models and budget ranges of DI's are shown in this video. This includes a workhorse like the passive Whirlwind IMP-2, the industry standards Radial JDI and Radial J48, Radial's budget offering the Radial ProDI, a past industry standard active DI- The Countryman Type 85, and the active Behringer Ultra DI.

Whether church audio, studio, a touring band, or a live production audio provider, it's very likely you'll find yourself needing a DI, or several Direct boxes even.
