This DI is the best DI I’ve seen. Works great.

per prima cosa si resta colpiti dal peso e dall'ottima fattura. Si capisce di avere in mano un prodotto di qualità.Poi il suono in uscita bilanciata è perfetto, nonostante le tante regolazioni (che sono precise e permettono di rimuovere feedback), non si snatura mai il suono nativo dello strumento.Comodissima la possibilità di alimentare tramite batteria 9V o tramite il Cannon (attivando il phantom 48V dal mixer sul quale si collega).Davvero un prodotto professionale

This model has been around for ages but it is still a great DI Box. The best part is the parametric equalisers on two bands. With the analog rotary dials, you can dial in the exact frequencies you want to attenuate or boost. In contrast, using a typical amp or mixing desk, they will have adjustments for only three bands: treble, bass and treble and you cannot affect specific frequencies outside of those general adjustments. Some digital effect pedals or items like 6 band equalisers can only typically adjust frequencies like: 100Hz, 200 Hz, 400Hz, 800Hz, 1KHz and 3Khz. The Para Acoustic DI allows you to dial in the frequency you want accurately. This means that for your particular guitar, you can spot any problem frequencies when plugged in to a PA and then make your precise adjustments. Typically this is to remove low end muddiness or a treble note that stands out a bit too much. It's built like a tank, reliable and is for those who care about their guitar sounding its best.

Es pequeño, un poco más grande que un pedal de pie y más plano. Caja de metal fuerte. Leo todas las opiniones antes de comprarlo al igual de checarlo en YouTube y críticas de internet, todos coincidían que era bastante bueno y no se equivocaron, impresionante y fácil de usar! Lo estrené el 3 de Noviembre 2024 y es increíble, tengo una guitarra Godin cuerdas de Nylon, muy difícil de equalizar, había comprado muchos preams, equalizadores parametricos y nada funcionaba, este aparato limpia tus señales y además puedes ecualizar paramétricamente de una manera simple, el resultado fue increíble e inmediato! Súper recomendable!! Debí haber sabido de esto antes, me hubiera ahorrado mucho $$La pila dura bastante, yo uso recargable, vi en YouTube que puedes convertir un adaptador de corriente pero francamente no vale la pena, con pila recargable más que suficiente! Use mi pila durante 3 horas tenía carga de 9.5 voltios y al final tenía 9.3 voltios así que fue increíble el bajo consumo de batería.Lo recomiendo ampliamente, vale la pena el precio!

I bought one after trying a friend’s unit. Great sound and control with unusual but effective EQ and a phase switch that really helps defeat feedback. Well built and sturdy. Sound guys always seem to dig it. Live or recording, I find it easy to dial in a pleasing acoustic guitar tone with either piezo or under-bridge pickups. And I can fit mine in it’s original box inside the compartment of my guitar case along with a capo, a slide and a handful of picks. Only complaint is that the input level control seems to be quite sensitive to slight adjustments, a minor quibble. It pairs especially well with active pickup systems I have in two guitars that are also LR Baggs products. Runs on phantom power, which saves the battery.

Ich nutze den L.R. Baggs Para in Verbindung mit dem , der neben dem üblichen Piezo über eine zusätzliche Abnahme per eingebautem Mikrofon unter dem Schallloch verfügt und somit in bestimmten Bereichen und Einstellungen anfällig für Rückkopplungen ist.Trotz des an sich schon sehr guten Klang des Tonabnehmers (direkt ins Pult oder in den Amp) geht mit der Para noch ein bisschen mehr: eingestöpselt hatte ich von Anfang an das Gefühl, dass der Klang durch die Para noch aufgewertet wird, bevor ich überhaupt an einem Knopf gedreht habe. Das Gefühl hat sich bestätigt, als ich verschiedene Gitarren an den Para angeschlossen habe. Alle Klangbilder wurden sofort merklich aufgewertet, waren wärmer und druckvoller in den Tiefen.Natürlich kann man den Sound auch kaputtdrehen. Hier empfiehlt es sich mal wieder, sich Zeit dafür zu nehmen und in Nuancenschritten zu arbeiten.Mittlerweile habe ich DIE Einstellung für meine Hauptgitarre gefunden (die sicherlich rein subjektiv ist), in der der Notchfilter hervorragend dafür sorgt, dass die Höhen nicht übersteuern, aber dennoch klar zu hören sind, während selbst die druckvollen Bässe akzentuiert und sauber klingen.Das Teil wird per 9V-Block betrieben. Parallel kann ein XLR Adapter mit Phantomspeisung angeschlossen werden.Es empfielt sich, trotzdem immer eine Batterie drin zu haben, sollte es mal zu Aussetzern der Stromzufuhr kommen.Die Para ist handlich, hat rutschfeste Noppen an der Unterseite, ist robust und solide verbaut.Ich werde soweit gehen und mir eine zweite zulegen, die ich für ein zweites Akustikset zuschneide, bzw. so einstelle, dass ich an keinem Set etwas ändern muss.Qualität hat ihren Preis und auch wenn es "teuer" anmutet, hat man von dem Teil wahrscheinlich sein ganzes Leben was.Verglichen mit vielen anderen, unbrauchbaren Gimmicks eine ganz eindeutige Kaufempfehlung!

Really excellent DI. I play violin professionally, mostly classical, and I recently got an LR Baggs violin bridge pick up installed on one of my fine violins. Paired with this amazing DI box, I can shape the sound to bring out a great acoustic violin sound at high volumes (cocktail hours, dinner parties, busking on the street, etc.) I get absolutely NO feedback, unlike other pick ups I've tried. Even though the bridge pick up is passive, I have the gain at near zero and it's still a really hot signal going to the board, or right into my PA via xlr output. It took several hours to find just the right settings, but once I did the results are worth it. This thing is heavy and solid, I keep it in its original box with foam when transporting it. Both to save wear and tear, and to keep my settings exact. Great job, Baggs...

Wow is all I can say! I plugged this into the snake where the old DI box was, hooked up my Taylor 714CE and finally got the sound I've been working towards for a year now. Previously, I had to turn my on board pre amp volume all the way up, then turn my effects pedal (ZOOM G3) all the way up, plus some boost and still could barely hear myself in my monitor. Even then the sound was always "tinny", with that ugly under-saddle piezo "slap-twang" that I hate.Now I can tailor my Taylor on the fly (I keep the Para Acoustic on my music stand) from a balanced sound across all 6 strings when strumming, to a higher-treble emphasis when doing lead-runs. I can actually hear my Taylor amplified as if it were unplugged.I'm pretty sure a new, non-equalized DI box would probably have helped with the volume issues, but being able to customize the sound is worth the extra expense. Now I'm not a slave to the way the sound guys EQ my guitars. Plus, the effects channel is great for plugging in my electric through my pedal board and thus I can easily switch from the Taylor to my Strat while keeping the acoustic sound unaffected by the Zoom G3. I still have the option of running the effects through the Para Acoustic and using my A/B box to connect either the electric or the acoustic in case I want some delay in the acoustic.Perhaps the "magic" is due the fact that I use the LR Baggs "Anthem" mic plus piezo under saddle combo with the Para Acoustic, but it should work with any pickup system and best of all it's wonderful to have full control of my sound again.Just to compare, I also purchased a Headway EDM-1 mini pre-amp, but it lacks a gain control and the resulting feedback made the sound booth give me ugly looks. It was soon returned to Guitar Center for a refund. Lesson learned: you gotta have a gain control, not just volume. Anyway, if you want the sound you want from your guitar, get a Para Acoustic and finally achieve satisfaction - a rare commodity in this world.

I bought the Para Di for live purpose. i own an admira juanita electro classical and the piezo pick up makes the high pitched sounds really sharp. The para di works well and it looks solid. Read the instructions, it explains good how to use it. But I must say that i was hoping that the para di would solve alone my problem and it is not the case. i think that a piezo pick up always makes the strings attack sounds louder, especially for classical guitar and especially if like me you play also with a pick. The solution might be to add a compressor (i am looking for buying the FMR RNC) and/or to invest in a different pick up (dual source or problend)...As for the Para Di, it is a good equalizer, and it is a relief to have a little control on my tone on stage and not to leave everything to the sound man.
