The Avenson Audio Small DI sounds spectacular, is small for easy travel (for all those live sound folks), and simple to use. Just plug in your instrument, connect the Small DI to your mic pre, turn on phantom power, and let your jaw drop. The full, yet transparent sound of the Small DI will impress even to most critical tone purist.
The Avenson Audio Small DI is the perfect instrument interface. The Small DI has a very high impedance input FET buffer inside, designed for wide bandwidth and clean reproduction. The buffer circuit runs on +48V phantom power and is unity gain. One of the best features of the Small DI is that it comes before the preamp, so that your input signal uses all the electronics of the preamp. The Avenson Small DI is also the perfect accessory for microphone preamps that don't have a DI. Its also great for preamps that put the DI input in an inconvenient place, like in the back!
It's not much bigger than an XLR connecter and at only 3.25" long it fits anywhere unobtrusively. The red LED tells you when phantom is turned on making last minute troubleshooting easier.

Nice, Clean & Simple
Apr 13th 2011I didn't need anything fancy, just clean sound with simple setup. Its active with no options except it does what It was intended to do. If you need to re-amp then the larger one is the one for you, otherwise this one works great for simple DI and stays out of the way. I use it on Guitar & Bass recording into Pro Tools 9 and it sounds great.

Small DI with Big Sound
Mar 4th 2011I bought two of these DI for my acoustic guitars. They just have an high Z jack input and a balanced XLR output. They are very small, very robust and the sound is great. I attach them to the guitar strap with a velcro tie and plug the guitar to the DI with a 10 inch jack.
