Kurmak
Üniteye Güç Verme
The Z-Tone DI can be powered via 9V battery or 48V phantom power from a connected mixer or audio interface. Ensure the power source is correctly connected before operation.
Cihazınızı Bağlama
Connect your instrument (guitar or bass) to the GİRİŞ jack using a standard 1/4" TS instrument cable.
Connecting to an Audio Interface/Mixer
For recording, connect the DENGELİ (XLR) to an XLR input on your audio interface or mixer. Alternatively, use the DENGESİZ (1/4" TS) for unbalanced connections.
Using the Link Output (Re-amp(ing)
The BAĞLANTI output allows you to send a clean, unprocessed signal to an external amplifier or pedalboard while simultaneously sending the processed signal to your interface. Connect the BAĞLANTI senin için kriko amplifier's input or the first pedal in your pedal chain.

İşletim Kontrolleri
Kazanç Kontrolü
Ayarla KAZANMAK knob to set the input level. The LED indicator next to the gain knob will illuminate green for a healthy signal and red if the signal is clipping. Adjust the gain to ensure the LED remains green during playing, occasionally flashing red on peaks.
Active/Passive Pickup Selector
Kullanın AKTİF/PASİF switch to match the impedance to your instrument's pickups. Select AKTİF for instruments with active pickups and PASİF for instruments with passive pickups. This optimizes the signal for the best tone.
Z-Tone Knob
The Z-TONE knob allows you to continuously vary the input impedance from 1 MΩ (SHARP) to 2.2 kΩ (BOLD). This unique feature interacts with your instrument's pickups, altering the tone and feel. Experiment with different settings to find the sweet spot for your instrument and desired sound.
Pure/JFET Channel Selector
The PURE/JFET switch selects between two distinct preamp devreler:
- SAF: Provides an ultra-linear, transparent sound, preserving the natural tone of your instrument.
- JFET: Engages a Class A JFET input buffer, adding subtle harmonic enhancement and a warm, tube-like character to your sound.
Zemin Kaldırma Anahtarı
The GND KALDIRMA switch disconnects the ground connection between the Z-Tone DI and the connected equipment. Use this switch to eliminate hum or buzz caused by ground loops.
Pad Anahtarı (-20dB)
The PED -20dB switch attenuates the output signal by 20dB. Engage this switch if the output signal is too hot for the input of your audio interface or mixer, preventing clipping.
Bakım
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Z-Tone DI, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cihazı temiz ve tozdan arındırılmış halde tutun. Temizlik için yumuşak, kuru bir bez kullanın.
- Cihazı aşırı sıcaklıklara, neme veya doğrudan güneş ışığına maruz bırakmaktan kaçının.
- When not in use for extended periods, remove the 9V battery to prevent leakage.
- Hasar görmemesi için tüm kabloları ve konektörleri özenle tutun.
Sorun giderme
Ses Çıkışı Yok
- Check all cable connections to ensure they are secure and correctly plugged in.
- Verify that the Z-Tone DI is receiving power (either from a 9V battery or 48V phantom power). The "ON" LED should be illuminated.
- Ensure the input gain is set appropriately and not too low.
- Check the input selection on your audio interface or mixer.
Uğultu veya Vızıltı Sesi
- Etkileşim kurun GND KALDIRMA switch to break potential ground loops.
- Ensure all power cables are properly grounded.
- Kablolarda veya bağlantılarda arıza olup olmadığını kontrol edin.
Bozuk ses
- Azaltmak KAZANMAK knob on the Z-Tone DI.
- Etkileşim kurun PED -20dB switch if the output signal is too strong for your interface's input.
- Check the input levels on your audio interface or mixer to prevent clipping.
