Some comments about the Behringer DI800, to clear up some inaccuracies. 1. Although it is now version 2, it is not better than v1 and component-wise is identical in every sense to the first version. It was only called version 2 to take into account some legal changes that required updates to documentation. 2. It can use phantom power OR mains power, depending on your needs. 3. That is not a 20dB pad, it is a super useful 20dB BOOST. 4. That is not a -10dB pad, it is a -30dB pad. 5, The LINK can be used as both an input AND an unbalanced output of a copy of the input signal. Great if you want a copy to go to an amp for monitoring.
What do u think about the Behringer Ultra-DI DI400P, the passive one is less expensive and less size/weight heavy ? DI100 still better ? i need it to use for my audio interface 4 outputs
Does it make sense to use the Radial DI with the Playaudio12? I see a lot of rigs with them both. Maybe to bring the line level down to mic level? What's your opinion on this?
Good question. Nothing wrong with using a direct box with it, BUT I'd suggest skipping that cost and buying a TRS-XLR snake or a panel mount for the PA12 if you want XLR outs.
@@fromstudiotostage We have a TRS-XLR snake, and the PA12 is already mounted in the rack. It's more about providing mic level vs line level to FOH for us. That seems to be what most sound engineers prefer.

Had no idea the PlayAudio 12 had 10 balanced outputs! 😍
It's a real gem!
