Sturdy, reliable, and equipped with a powerful tone-shaping EQ, the L. R. Baggs Para DI gives a fuller, more complex sound to any acoustic pickup. This durable direct input box features a 5-band EQ with tunable mid-range and notch, variable gain control for both passive or active pickups, and phase inversion for best sound and feedback control. It has XLR and 1/4" outputs, and is capable of running on 9V battery or phantom power. This unit comes at a competitive discount, having already begun its collection of cosmetic blemishes from stage use.
