8. Yamaha YC73 stage keyboard

Active direct box

The StageBug SB-1 is a compact active direct box designed to fit inside a guitar case for artists who prefer to travel light.

Ultra-compact DI

The
design begins with a standard ¼ inch instrument input with a thru-put to feed your tuner or your on-stage amp. The ultra-quiet active circuit converts the signal from high to low impedance to reduce susceptibility to noise. The signal is then buffered and balanced for long cable runs to the PA system. 48 volt phantom power provides the necessary energy, so the SB-1 does not require batteries or an external supply to operate. You simply plug in and you are ready to go!. 

9. Yamaha YC88 stage keyboard

Variable load active DI with piezo optimised input

The PZ-DI is a high-performance specialised active direct box designed to accommodate acoustic and orchestral
instruments, with a selectable input impedance that can accommodate magnetic pickups or piezo transducers, and a variable low-cut filter.

Piezo problem solver

The PZ-DI has a variable load selector switch that allows you to set the input impedance of the direct box, optimising performance with your instrument's pickups. The 1 meg ohm position delivers the classic impedance found on most active DI boxes, while the 220k ohm setting warms up the tone of magnetic pickups to provide the feel and tone as if your instrument were connected directly to an amplifier. The third setting is an ultra-high 10 meg ohm impedance specifically designed for piezo transducers, helping compensate for the harsh or squawky tone that can occur when a piezo is connected to a lower impedance input.

Variable filter to suit any instrument

To remove unwanted resonance on stage and prevent feedback, the PZ-DI is equipped with a fully-variable low-cut filter that gently rolls off low frequencies. The roll-off point of this filter can be raised or lowered to match the frequency response of your instrument, with a lower point for acoustic bass and a higher setting for violin or banjo. A switchable high-cut filter is also included, which is useful on instruments such as acoustic guitars that incorporate a battery-powered preamp, softening any harshness or high frequency edge for a smoother tone.
