ພະລັງງານຫນ່ວຍ

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.

Connecting Your Instrument

Connect your instrument (guitar or bass) to the ປ້ອນຂໍ້ມູນ jack using a standard 1/4" TS instrument cable.

Connecting to an Audio Interface/Mixer

For recording, connect the ຍອດເງິນອອກ (XLR) to an XLR input on your audio interface or mixer. Alternatively, use the ບໍ່ດຸ່ນດ່ຽງ (1/4" TS) for unbalanced connections.

Using the Link Output (Re-amping)

ໄດ້ ລິ້ງ 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 ລິ້ງ jack ກັບຂອງທ່ານ amplifier's input or the first pedal in your pedal chain.

ການຄວບຄຸມການດໍາເນີນງານ

ໄດ້ຮັບການຄວບຄຸມ

ປັບ ໄດ້ຮັບ 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

ໃຊ້ ACTIVE/PASSIVE switch to match the impedance to your instrument's pickups. Select ເຄື່ອນໄຫວ for instruments with active pickups and PassIVE for instruments with passive pickups. This optimizes the signal for the best tone.

Z-Tone Knob

ໄດ້ 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

ໄດ້ PURE/JFET switch selects between two distinct preamp ວົງຈອນ:

• PURE: 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.

ຫຼັບຍົກພື້ນ

ໄດ້ GND LIFT 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.

ສະວິດແຜ່ນຮອງ (-20dB)

ໄດ້ PAD -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.

ບໍາລຸງຮັກສາ

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Z-Tone DI, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• ຮັກສາເຄື່ອງໃຫ້ສະອາດ ແລະບໍ່ມີຝຸ່ນ. ໃຊ້ຜ້າອ່ອນໆ, ແຫ້ງເພື່ອທໍາຄວາມສະອາດ.
• ຫຼີກ​ລ້ຽງ​ການ​ເປີດ​ຕົວ​ເຄື່ອງ​ກັບ​ອຸນ​ຫະ​ພູມ​ທີ່​ຮ້າຍ​ແຮງ​, ຄວາມ​ຊຸ່ມ​ຊື່ນ​, ຫຼື​ແສງ​ແດດ​ໂດຍ​ກົງ​.
• When not in use for extended periods, remove the 9V battery to prevent leakage.
• ຈັດການສາຍໄຟ ແລະ ຕົວເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ທັງໝົດດ້ວຍຄວາມລະມັດລະວັງເພື່ອປ້ອງກັນຄວາມເສຍຫາຍ.

ການແກ້ໄຂບັນຫາ

ບໍ່ມີສຽງອອກ

• 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.

ສຽງດັງ ຫຼື ສຽງຫຶມໆ

• ມີສ່ວນຮ່ວມ GND LIFT switch to break potential ground loops.
• ໃຫ້ແນ່ໃຈວ່າສາຍໄຟທັງໝົດໄດ້ຖືກຕໍ່ສາຍດິນຢ່າງຖືກຕ້ອງ.
• ກວດສອບສາຍໄຟ ຫຼື ຈຸດເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ທີ່ມີບັນຫາ.

ສຽງບິດເບືອນ

• ຫຼຸດ​ຜ່ອນ ໄດ້ຮັບ knob on the Z-Tone DI.
• ມີສ່ວນຮ່ວມ PAD -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.
