[QUOTE="TorbjÃ¶rn Molin, post: 48080, member: 925"] Re: Acoustic guitar into passive DI Well, I think it's down to the battery. In swaping DIs I also swaped xlr from desk to DI as the four channel unit in the rack with the mixer was plugged in and known working (the piano player who was on right before was using it with a sampler) so i guess that leaves the guitar and most probably the battery. It is as you both say most probable, given the distortion and drop in level as he was playing. I also didn't think it sounded like a one legged signal, it was way to limited in bandwith and since the desk is on stage in this particular venue (the pianists that usually play mix themselves) it would only have been an unbalanced run of five or so meters of xlr, straight from the DI into the desk. Thanks for the tip of using a dynamic with an xlr->TS adaptor, wish i'd thought of that when i was trying to come up with something to test the DIs with.:)~:-)~:smile: I even brought a PR20 with me as I knew that the venue doesn't really have any mics.
