Pisound: DI Out?

Hi there,
I’m waiting for my Pisound that I ordered a few days ago.
Meanwhile I was trying to figure out how I will use it on my Bass setup.

I would go for a “Dual mono” out.
1 >>> Monitor
2 >>> Mixer

For this (2) I think that I would need a DI Box cause the signal is unbalanced, Right?
Any suggestion on how to go to FOH without DI?

Thanks in advance.

The outputs are at line level, it should fine to connect directly to the monitor (assuming it has built in amplifier) and mixer. You’d have to use a Y splitter cable to convert from 6.35mm stereo output to the mono inputs you need, and send the same output to both audio channels.

Isn’t it an UNbalanced signal?

It is, but why is it a concern? What kind of inputs does your monitor and mixer have?

I Will use a Poweramp + Passive Cab as monitor.

The real matter Is: when going on live session we don’t know what we will have as mixer or FOH, and we have many meters between me and the mixer.

It Is a shame that PiSound has no DI out. Maybe on next versions It could be a nice update :slight_smile:

Pisound’s output is not high impedance, in contrast to microphones or electric guitars, so in most cases, direct connection to mixers and monitors should be fine, but of course if you want the signal to be converted to balanced or some other kind of connector, it makes sense to use converters in between.

Okay I am enjoying PiSound atm. The only thing that get me annoyed is the input clipping with gain knob all way down.
I’m using just my passive Bassguitar straight into PiSound input. Red Clip Led is lightning up.
I think that’s not the right behaviour if this Soundcard is made for instrument. Probably a PAD BUTTON would really help.
