～ Features ～
The Para Acoustic D.I. uses a discrete Class A circuit, the best circuit for achieving a natural sound. It faithfully amplifies the original sound of the instrument. This is a preamp DI for acoustic guitar that we confidently recommend to players who are thoroughly committed to a natural sound.

Gain Setting: Adjusting the trim gain to the optimum level according to the pickup output will maximize the pickup's performance and significantly reduce hiss noise from the amplifier. The maximum setting is 18dB.

■ Equalizer settings
LOW: Low frequency control with a point at 85Hz.

NOTCH: This is the frequency range where feedback is likely to occur on an acoustic guitar, and is used to cut the problematic frequency range when the entire guitar is producing a booming sound. To set it, first turn the NOTCH knob all the way to the "+" position. Then, turn the ADGB knob to find the point where the feedback or booming sound is loudest. Once you've found that point, turn the NOTCH knob toward the "?" position.

MID: Adjusts the frequency range from 400Hz to 1.6kHz. Many acoustic guitars produce too much noise around 1kHz when played through an amplifier, so it is effective to cut the frequency slightly (3 to 6 dB) around this point.

PRES: 5kHz band. It cuts the PA sound slightly when it is strongly emphasized, and boosts it when it is weak or unclear.

TREB: Controls the amount of air or frost in the high frequencies at 10kHz.

■INVERT setting
The INVERT switch reverses the phase of feedback that can occur with external devices such as monitors, ensuring the best possible sound output. By matching the phase with an amplifier or mixer, you can produce a thick, natural sound.

There are no visible scratches or dents, and the playing surface is in good condition. This item is available at a bargain price without a box.
