Have you ever heard of transistor saturation in passive DI box's? I read that it produces compression. I have been having intermittent( for months ) reduced output on my Taylor 810ce guitar with the new HOT pickup. I remove/changed everything in my signal chain, changed out my DI for another of same brand ( low price DI ). I finally switched to a Radial Pro DI and the problem went away????
Compression? it might be possible but have not tried it before. I only use the DI box to correct unbalance cables issues in other to prevent noise during the mixdown
I was just using the cheaper DI when i play live on stage to run to XLR to mixer. I kept hearing in my in ear my volume drop. I asked sound man and he always says i hear you fine (my 810 unplugged is LOUD.). Lead vocal kept hearing this too, she walked the house and said My volumn is dropping so frustrating. Tried EVERTHING then switched to Radial pro passive DI i think the problem is gone 😅
Taylors new ES2 is VERY HOT maybe this was it?????
Possibly. But they are other factors that can cause volume drop
I removed everything in my signal chain, then i had the same signal drop two weeks ago on my stage mic. It turns out it was An XLR going partial bad, and i thought i had checked EVERTHING 🙃
Sure Did boxes are very good and helpful when it comes to checking noise and hums during performance and mixdown. I always recommend it to people going for live performance.
