- Expert Description
- En: An active single-channel DI with a mu-metal shielded 1:1 transformer and something most DIs do not have: a variable input gain of 0 to 12 dB, so a weak passive pickup can be lifted rather than only padded. Input impedance 600 kohm, output impedance 83 ohm, maximum output +14 dBu. · Uk: Активний одноканальний директ-бокс із трансформатором 1:1 в екрані з мю-металу і з тим, чого в директ-боксів здебільшого немає: змінним вхідним підсиленням від 0 до 12 дБ, тобто слабкий пасивний звукознімач тут можна підняти, а не лише послабити. Вхідний опір 600 кОм, вихідний 83 Ом, максимальний вихід +14 dBu.·

What the datasheet actually says
Quoted verbatim from the manufacturer’s own page, with the date we checked it. We state what is printed, not what anyone intended by it.
Measurement conditions
«Max. input level (< 1% THD, rel. 20 Hz) 14 dBu … Max. input level (< 1% THD, rel. 1 kHz) 21 dBu»
Palmer name the frequency at which each headroom figure was taken, and the two differ by 7 dB. A transformer saturates at a flux that rises as frequency falls, so the 20 Hz figure is the one that matters for a bass guitar and the 1 kHz figure is the one that looks better. Most makers publish only the larger number without naming the frequency at all.
