usIng an amPlIfIer
If you are using an on-stage amplifier for personal monitor-
ing, use the THRU to make this connection. This is basically
a pass-through that takes the original signal and feeds it
to your amp.
sIde aCCess buffer Thru on swITCh
The PZ-DI features a side access buffer ON 'set & forget'
switch that allows the thru-put connector to be used two
ways.
buffer off
When OFF (out position) the direct signal from the source
instrument is sent thru to the amp. This setting is typically
used with an active instrument such as an acoustic guitar
or passive instrument such as a bass where you do not
want to 'amplify' the signal before it reaches the stage
amp. This sends the original 'dry' signal from the instrument
without the buffer.
buffer on
When on (in position), the signal is buffered (or amplified)
before it is sent to the thru-put connector. This is typically
used when the source is a piezo transducer and the buffered
signal at the thru-put will benefit the stage amp with a more
appropriate output. Buffering the signal also allows longer
cable runs with less noise.
