LZ8 - Level & Impedance Interface. Cnx Guitar, Bass, FX to Pro
Four clean track DI channels and four Real-Amp™ reverse DI channels The LZ8 takes the pristine, transformerless DI and Real-Amping™ technologies of the MW1 and multiplies it by four - all in one rack space! It's the ultimate level and impedance matching interface, whether as an MW1 accessory or standing alone.
- 4 X Transformerless Floating Instrument DI Preamps and 4 X Real-Amping™ Reverse DI Reamp channels
- Hi-Z IN - Instrument level input. INPUT-Z ATTENTUATION - variable impedance control (10K to 10M ohms).
- GAIN - Level matching control (-6 to +30dB). BAL OUT - Balanced TRS output with shield GND LIFT.
- BAL IN - Balanced TRS inputs with shield GND LIFT. ATTENTUATION - Level matching control (+6 to -30dB).
- OUTPUT-Z - variable impedance control (50 to 50K ohms). HiZ OUT- Instrument level output.
- Universal international power 85 to 260 VAC, 50 or 60Hz.
Here are a few applications:
- Insert stomp box overdrive distortion and effects pedals in your studio path.
- Insert professional studio signal processing gear into your guitar or bass instrument level effects pedal chain.
- Boost your instruments to line level for DI tracking.
- Attenuate your line level signals to instrument level for Real-Amping™.
- Boost your instrument up to line level for a patchbay mult to split the signal to a DI track and simultaneously feed it back down to instrument level for multiple, composite amplifiers.
- Use the impedance controls conservatively to match your instrument's original tone, or in exaggerated ways to shape and discover new tones.
- Use two LZ8's (one in the control room and one in the studio) to pipe instrument signals up through long, line-level balanced snakes; then back down to instrument level at the opposite end. A great way to leave your amplifiers in isolation and allow the band to stay in the control room.
- The LZ8 is a tool, use your imagination to invent new uses. Isolated power supply included.
The LZ8 is built to order. Delivery time is 2 to 3 weeks.
