Some years back I once had a challenge of high input levels from an active bass to the mic level input without knowing how to deal with it, control is absolutely needed for better mixing, thanks for sharing.
Thank for this knowledge boss. Really appreciate I especially appreciate you for all you've done for me online, despite not seeing you face to face DRISSH
Nice video but please allow me make one observation; you dont convert UNBALANCED to MICROPHONE LEVEL. Those are two different classification of signals and saying you can convert between them is like saying you can convert a car from manual to Diesel. Best of luck.
@@mrinstructor23 I watched your video to the end brother. For reference, I've been doing audio for over 20 years. You said UNBALANCED to MICROPHONE LEVEL and not BALANCED. There is a difference between MICROPHONE LEVEL and BALANCED. I guess it was a mistake though. We all make mistakes once in a while.
Bro now I can understand what you're trying explained okay let me put in this way MI. Microphone is a transducer That Convert Acoustic energy to Electrical energy So the single that is coming from the line level.It's also Electrical energy but in different level so by using a DI to convert unbalance to balance it is the same as microphone level it's now depends on gain level we are still on the same page sir I love to have more of this conversation with you sir you drop your WhatsApp number thank you
Yes, a line level signal can be converted to a microphone level signal using a device called a line-to-mic converter or a direct injection (DI) box. Line level signals are typically stronger than microphone level signals, with a higher voltage and impedance. Microphone level signals, on the other hand, are weaker and have a lower impedance. A line-to-mic converter or DI box reduces the line level signal to a level that is suitable for a microphone input, typically by: 1. Reducing the voltage: From +4 dBu (line level) to -40 dBu (microphone level) 2. Impedance matching: From high impedance (line level) to low impedance (microphone level) This conversion is necessary when you want to connect a line-level device (such as a mixer, CD player, or instrument) to a microphone input on a mixer, recorder, or sound system. Some common types of line-to-mic converters include: 1. Passive DI boxes 2. Active DI boxes 3. Impedance-matching transformers It's important to note that not all converters are created equal, and some may affect the tone or quality of the signal. When choosing a converter, consider factors like frequency response, distortion, and noise floor.
Yes, but not for long distances, else the cable would pick up noises too. It's advisable to keep your jack-jack output short. If your console or stage box is far from where the instrument is, use a short jack then pass it through a DI box, and then XLR out from the DI Box to the mixer or stage box. Because the DI box would have converted the line level output to a balanced mic level signal, your XLR can run long distances to the mixer or stage box without picking up noise. Summary: You can do line level output from your instrument to your mixer or stage box, provided the distance is not beyond 10metres. If it goes beyond that distance, the tendency for noise floor to mix with your signal is high, hence a DI box is advised or recommended
So for those of us using XLR cables for keyboard and guitars, we are wrong now? And also we must DI every instruments now? Even using snake cables on stage, we must still DI everything
I Have a Question 😢 Please how do I use my Churches Mixing Console to Record Sound Directly Is it possible using my phone 🙏 Yamaha mixing Console with 28Channels
No bro... you'll need a audio interface with a laptop and if there is a usb out from the mixer you won't need the interface You can directly connect the mixer into the laptop
Yes, if it's a stereo DI Box (with two channels) But the implication is that you are sending a mono signal for each of the instruments through the DI Box
❤❤❤w the best explanation I've come across....this is how connection should be done. Thanks sir

Thank you
Thank for this knowledge boss.
Really appreciate

DRISSH
I appreciate that!
God bless you Sir. Watching from Ghana. Keep up the good work. More lessons please
Great explanation. I love your work brother i understand you perfectly. Keep the good work going never stop.
I just learnt something, thank you very much.
Good job sir thank for the info.God bless you
Great powerful advice
Wow I really learnt from this
❤❤❤ best instructor ❤❤❤
Thanks for cogent teaching... Boss! Can you please do a teaching on talkback setup?
Good one bro I really learned a lot
Sharp
Thank you, wrong is wrong right is right, just do it the right way
Very insightful👍👍
My oga...I see you boss
Good explanation. But what if i use the pad button to attenuate the incoming signal, would it be similar to what the DI box can do?
Is still the same thing bro
Thanks Boss, my keyboardist always increase volume too much which cause damage to my mixers channels.
Oga digital mixers makes life easy. Chill bros
@@PeeCeeMusic digital mixer operator without analogue mixing console background is nonsense
True sha, analogue is rugged if you are good dere , digital is easier
Super brother
Brother use di box Roland pads ? Brother iam from India brother 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Good stuff. Keep it up bro

You can convert unbalance to balance by using a DI box thank you
I don't think you watch the video to the end because if you do you hear how explained everything

So helpful baba thanks
I have a Roland RD200, it has a xlr output, do i still need to get a di box?
Thaks you so much
Okay sir 🙏🙏
Please you said we have analog and digital mixer? Pls show me the two
Boss thanks 🎉🎉🎉
Buh next time please reduce the background music 🙏🙏🙏
Ok next time
What happened before DIs came 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks boss
I don't have a DI box. can I use the line input instead ?
Yes, but not for long distances, else the cable would pick up noises too.

@akandejohnjoy7558 you're on RUclips you can still fact check what ever of my words in this video
@@mrinstructor23 boss, we dey learn from you ooo. Just asking sir
Yes you have to DI everything that is not a mic.
God morning Sir, how do we arrest feedback noise from main speakers and feedback speakers from analog mixer console.
Thanks for your quick response.
Adjust the gain, identify the actual frequency feeding back and adjust it from the channel strip or your equalizer gear
Yoruba man, welldone
It’s still the same you can still control with analog and digital
Imagine your Console is far from the stage and you are playing on an audio link, can you convert your XLR to Jack for line input?
It is called a DI Box mate.
Thanks bro
But what if I plug mic on line input is it advisable?
No is not advisable to plug mic on line inpute
I Have a Question 😢
Please how do I use my Churches Mixing Console to Record Sound Directly
Is it possible using my phone 🙏
Yamaha mixing Console with 28Channels
No bro... you'll need a audio interface with a laptop and if there is a usb out from the mixer you won't need the interface
You can directly connect the mixer into the laptop
Unmmm sir you can control keys while using mic input
Thank you sir
Can i use 1 di box to connect both keyboard and bass guitar?
@@ugbenyojackiko-ojo yes of course
It would be stereo
Yes, if it's a stereo DI Box (with two channels)
But the implication is that you are sending a mono signal for each of the instruments through the DI Box
whats the name of your mic please
and whats the best di box to use
That's a V7 dynamic mic 🎤
Can’t go wrong with the green radial di box
No need for the background keyboard na
Thank you for the feedback
Hey! Its should sound " IN PUT " not Inputes..
That's Nigerian Accent 🇳🇬
Bro background music is so irritating 😢
Noted
HORRIBLE ENGLISH 😂😂😂
@espiritguitar thank you but don't for get that you don't have any to offer
@@espiritguitar my English is the problem you have in your life
