Post by JereFuzz »

Hi,

I have a power amp that works better with a balanced input rather than unbalanced input … I have a passive di box but it doesn't seem to cut it ...

Thanks ... that j+4 looks like what I need, and there really no substitute, but damn, that mood is expensive!

Whirlwind also has a bunch of adapters with impedance adjustment stuff. Compact and less expensive than a DI.
