Can I use the Bass ParaEq as a DI?

Yes—with the right setup, the Bass ParaEq can act like a DI and send your signal directly to a mixer, audio interface, or front-of-house system using its balanced output.

Here’s what you need to know:

• The Bass ParaEq’s output automatically switches to balanced when you plug in a TRS cable.
• If you’re going TRS to TRS (e.g. into a balanced line input), you’re good to go—no additional gear needed.
• If you’re converting to XLR (e.g. using a TRS–XLR cable or adapter), your mixer or interface might assume you’re sending a mic-level signal. But, the Bass ParaEq outputs an instrument-level signal by default—which is hotter than mic level, and can reach line level if you’re using a lot of boost. In that case, make sure the input you're connecting to is rated for line level signals or includes a pad/attenuator in order to reduce the level. 

So yes, you can totally use it as a DI—but treat it like a studio-grade line-level box, not a traditional passive DI.
