LDI 02 : The excellent missing link on stage!

11 years ago

On stage, I use a Line 6 POD HD500X which have two XLR's out (stereo) and two line outs (mono) and I normally use a "the box" PA M 12 ECO MKII (often paired with a PA M 12 ECO MKII) monitoring duties. Here is the deal:

On stage, I will normally have mono out to both my monitors and the PA system/mixer in house. My HD500X patches are in stereo and I don't want to make mono versions of them.

So what I do is feeding the mono signal to the LDI 02, which is splitting the signal unchanged to my monitors and converted to a microphone level balanced signal for the Mixer/PA. Very simple and efficient! One more very common but very usable thing is that the LDI 02 normally is phantom powered by the mixer, but if the phantom power is down, then the battery inside the DI box kicks in automatically.

So the LDI 02 makes my live rig complete and I can always connect wherever I am. This little thing is one of the best and usable buys I've done lately. Strongly recommended!
