Radial PZ-DI DI box for acoustic and orchestra instruments
Product no: 9000-0007-6395
Product information
General
The Radial PZ-DI is a DI box that was specially designed for amplifying acoustic and orchestra instruments. This phantom-powered device with extra headroom is a very welcome DI variety, considering that it features some very practical optimisation controls. It also has a jack input, a jack thru and an XLR output.
Setting up the impedance on the PZ-DI
The PZ-DI has an impedance switch with three different positions. The 'standard' impedance level is what we find on most DI boxes. The '220k-ohms' position ensure that magnetic pickups come through with a warmer, tube-like character. Lastly, the high '10 megohms' position is for compensating that often unpolished tone of a piezo pickup.
Further optimisation
To optimise the signal even more, Radial has equipped the PZ-DI with a variable low-cut (high-pass) filter to sift low tones out of the mix and stand up to powerful bass resonance. The hi-cut (low-pass) diminishes high tones and gives active instruments a rounder, more authentic sound. The PZ-DI also has a -15 dB pad knob, a ground lift switch and a polarity switch.

Radial PZ-DI DI box for acoustic and orchestra instruments
Truely excellent. I am using it with an electronic Cello and the cello has much more clarity and "woodiness" throught it. I have tried the 1M option for recording acoustic guitar and that sounded excellent too.
It's very heavy, clearly a quality product.

Radial PZ-DI DI box for acoustic and orchestra instruments
Heel goede DI, gebruik hem om mijn akoustische gitaar aan een mengpaneel aan te sluiten. Wat een verschil over mijn passieve Radial Pro DI: de PZ-DI geeft een volle, zachte en minder scherpe klank. Een absolute aanrader!

Radial PZ-DI DI box for acoustic and orchestra instruments
Eigenlijk wel een must voor akoestische gitaren. Hiervoor gebruikte ik een "normale" Radial DI, die al mooier klinkt dan bijvoorbeeld een BSS of Klark Technic DI, maar bij de PZ DI kun je de juiste impedantie voor het Piezo element instellen. Het hoog is zachter (kwa klank, niet kwa volume), en de gehele sound meer open.
