| Content | The ULTRA-DI DI20 is an innovative active 2-channel DI-box/splitter that takes the signal directly from an unbalanced high-impedance output—like an electric guitar—and feeds it directly into a mixing console or recorder. It is ideally suited to augment the traveling gear of musicians (especially guitar/bass players) as well as live/studio/broadcast engineers, installation contractors and studios/live event engineers. The DI20 converts 2 separate unbalanced 1/4" jack inputs into 2 balanced XLR outputs. There is a 2-channel/link mode for flexible usage as mono, 2-channel or splitter box. In link mode, channel 1 can be split up into 2 balanced XLR connectors plus 1 unbalanced 1/4" jack connector. Switchable input attenuation in 3 ranges allows input levels of up to +48 dBu, while a ground lift switch eliminates typical ground loop problems. It operates either by using a 9 V battery or by using 48 V phantom power. The whole package is enclosed in an ultra compact, road-suitable and extremely rugged housing.
- Converts 2 separate unbalanced 1/4' TRS line inputs into 2 balanced XLR outputs
- Ultra-flexible: mono, 2-channel or stereo DI box operation with switchable Link mode
- Additional Split mode (channel 1 assigns the signal to both XLR outputs)
- Phantom or 9 V battery powered
- Switchable input attenuation allows connection to outputs with up to 3,000 Watts
- Input 2 usable as channel 1 Link output (additional to XLR output)
- Ground lift switch eliminates typical ground loop problems
- Ultra-compact, road-suitable housing
- High-quality components and exceptionally rugged construction ensure long life
- Conceived and designed by BEHRINGER Germany

Phantom or battery powered in a rugged steel chassis, with separate Speaker Level input connector
The ARX DI-PLUS represents another major step forward in active direct boxes. Packaged in
a single channel stand-alone format, the DI-PLUS represents a fresh look at active D.I. concepts.
Precision engineered
Ultra quiet, ultra clean circuitry delivers maximum headroom whatever the signal. Premium grade
components, plus an all-steel chassis gives excellent hum and noise specifications and superb
audio quality in a tough, roadworthy package.
Level control
The DI-PLUS features a Normal gain high impedance unbalanced input on the front panel, running to
a balanced XLR output on the rear. There is also a separate -40dB Speaker Level input for signal coming
from the External (auxiliary) speaker output of an amplifier. A a global Pad switch drops both the normal
input and the speaker input by a further 20dB, making it suitable for all applications, from the softest
keyboard to the hottest broadcast levels.
Battery compartment
The revolutionary simple 'clamshell' action of the DI-PLUS battery compartment makes battery changing
extremely easy, even on the darkest stages.
A 9v alkaline battery snaps into a PCB mounted battery holder for fast, secure location. No fragile battery
clip leads to break, no tools required, no screws to lose. Production crew heaven!
Automatic Phantom switching
The DI-PLUS will automatically switch itself to the console's own Phantom Power, if available, and an LED
will indicate this mode. Turn the Phantom Power off and it will instantly revert back to battery mode.
Rugged all-steel case
A lot of direct boxes are fitted into brittle cast alloy cases. Not this one! The tough all-steel inner and outer
chassis of the DI-PLUS provide excellent RF/EMF shielding while making it a sturdy, heavy duty unit that is
hard to dislodge, and hard to leave behind.

Whether you're a Studio or Live Sound engineer, installation contractor, or broadcast engineer, you want all
the dynamics and clarity of the original sound source transferred to the mixing console. The ARX DI-PLUS
provides a rugged, no-compromise solution to all direct injection and signal balancing requirements.
