Description
The LR Baggs Venue DI combines a direct box, preamp, EQ, tuner, and volume boost in a compact yet robust unit designed for performing acoustic guitarists. This all-in-one system provides adjustable gain for both passive and active pickups so you can achieve pristine tone for any acoustic instrument. The onboard tuner features a footswitch mute/tune function for discreet onstage tuning. A 5-band EQ includes tunable low-mid and high-mid bands allowing precise tone shaping to suit any musical style or cut through a mix. A phase inversion switch helps eliminate feedback, while the adjustable volume boost footswitch provides an extra dose of volume when you need it.
Complete Isolation and Flexible Outputs
The Venue DI utilizes a full isolation audio transformer for a clean signal and ground loop hum rejection. It provides an XLR DI output to connect directly to the mixing board as well as a 1/4" output for an amplifier or monitor. The unit also includes series FX loops with separate send and return jacks for incorporating your favorite pedals.
Roadworthy and Intuitive
Housed in a rugged steel chassis, the Venue DI is built to withstand the rigors of the road. A 4-segment LED provides visual monitoring of gain level and battery life for confidence in any performance setting. Powered by a standard 9V battery or optional power supply, the Venue DI allows complete freedom of movement on any stage. An included carrying case provides safe transport and storage for this professional-grade tool designed to make any acoustic guitarist's life easier.
