[QUOTE="Mike Caldwell, post: 92816, member: 170"] Re: Radial PRO DI - passive I have some of those as well as the J series both active and passive and a PZDI on the way. What type of instruments are you plugging into it? The rule of thumb is that active instruments, keyboards, active preamp guitars, ect. that a passive DI will be fine. With passive instruments like Fender Precision bass and some old school keyboards like a Rhodes piano an active DI is a better due to the higher input impedance that passive pickups like to see. Plugging a low level output passive instrument into a passive DI can result in a lower than normal output from the DI and maybe a noticeable change in the tone of the instrument, with a pizeo pickup up it's really noticeable when plugged straight into a 100k or so passive DI input.
