How often do you guys change batteries in your DI's when tracking, i change guitar strings every 8 - 16 hours, so ive been changing batteries at the same time. What you guys doing?
I use phantom power.
But if you recording a line level (guitar) not mic? As far as i know phantom power doesn't travel down jack, or do you go mic in on your interface?
Phantom power needs a balanced cable right? And instrument cable is unbalanced. What to do?
So, does that mean I could run my guitar through a cable that has a 1/4" on one end and an XLR on the other?
why wouldn't you use a battery in that situation ahjteam? would that cause a difference in sound ? rather than using the built in phantom power?
3) Some DI-boxes have larger input level ranges (headroom) with phantom power than with battery (this can be found in specifications).
