LD Systems LDI02 Active DI Box

Pure Signal Integrity, Built To Last.

The LD Systems LDI02 is a high-performance active DI (Direct Injection) box, precisely engineered to convert high-impedance, unbalanced signals into robust, low-impedance, balanced signals. This essential audio tool actively ensures a pristine signal path from your instruments or line-level devices to mixing consoles, PA systems, or recording interfaces, effectively eliminating unwanted noise and interference. Its robust, all-metal construction is built for extreme durability, making it perfect for the demands of live performance and rigorous studio environments.

Versatile Powering And Essential Signal Control

A key advantage of the active LDI02 is its versatile powering options, capable of operating via +48V phantom power from a connected mixer or audio interface, or alternatively, with a standard 9V battery (not included) for standalone use where phantom power is unavailable. This flexibility ensures reliable operation in any scenario. The DI box features an essential ground lift switch, which expertly isolates the signal ground from the chassis ground, effectively breaking problematic ground loops that cause audible hum and buzz. Additionally, a switchable -20dB attenuation pad allows for safe connection of high-output sources, such as active bass guitars, keyboards, or even speaker-level signals (with appropriate precautions), preventing input overload on sensitive preamps.

Superior Signal Conversion For Professional Audio

The active circuitry of the LDI02 provides a consistent and high-quality signal conversion, offering a lower output impedance and often a higher gain capability compared to passive counterparts. It features a standard 6.35 mm (1/4") jack input for instruments, alongside an XLR input for unbalanced signals, and a balanced XLR output for clean, long-distance signal transmission. A parallel thru output also allows for direct connection to an instrument amplifier without signal degradation. The LDI02's combination of clear signal output, flexible powering, and rugged construction makes it an indispensable tool for musicians, sound engineers, and producers seeking reliable, professional audio performance.
