Behringer ULTRA-DI PRO DI800 V2 8-Channel Active DI Box

Behringer ULTRA-DI PRO DI800 V2 8-Channel Active DI Box

Behringer ULTRA-DI PRO DI800 V2 is an eight-channel active direct-injection unit for feeding suitable sources to balanced downstream microphone inputs.

Why Choose Behringer ULTRA-DI PRO DI800 V2?

DI800 V2 gathers eight DI channels in a rack format for keyboard rigs, stage sources and installed audio routing. Its documented mains or phantom-power arrangement offers alternatives within a compatible system, but the correct supply and input settings still depend on the complete signal path. A DI prepares an appropriate analogue source for a balanced receiving input; it does not mix the eight sources into a computer recording session by itself. Use the documented attenuation and routing facilities around the source level, then check the receiving preamp rather than compensating for overload only at the output.

Key Features

• Eight active DI channels: organised multiple-source connection.
• Balanced output role: suitable mixer microphone inputs.
• Rack format: stage and installed-system integration.
• Power options: documented mains or phantom arrangement.

Best Suited For

Connecting instruments and appropriate source signals to suitable balanced mixer or recording inputs. Select the DI arrangement around source level, impedance and the required channel count. A DI box handles signal interfacing; it does not replace the mixer’s channel controls, a computer recording interface or the amplifier driving the PA speakers.

Setup and Connection Guide

Reduce receiving gain before connecting the source to the correct input and the balanced output to a suitable mixer channel. Use the documented power arrangement for an active DI. Start with conservative gain and engage the input pad only where signal level requires it. Test one channel first and check any link output separately. Use the audio ground-lift function only as described when troubleshooting the signal path, while keeping the equipment’s mains protective earth intact. Label channels clearly for a multi-instrument stage or recording setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an eight-channel DI add eight USB tracks to a computer?

No. Its outputs are analogue audio feeds. A suitable mixer or interface must receive those signals and provide the required computer audio connection and independent recording channels.

Is a DI box the same as a USB audio interface?

No. It prepares or routes an analogue audio signal for suitable downstream equipment. Computer recording still needs a compatible interface or mixer with the required digital connection, and the source must be routed through that equipment.

Does the ground-lift switch mean I should remove mains earth?

No. An audio ground-lift function is part of the DI signal arrangement. It is not an instruction to disconnect protective mains earth. Follow the model’s connection guidance and investigate the actual noise path.
