Creation Audio Labs LZ8 level & impedance matching DI & Re-amp box

Four clean track DI channels and four Real-Amp™ reverse DI channels

The LZ8 takes the pristine, transformerless DI and Real-Amping™ technologies of the MW1 and multiplies it by four - all in one rack space!  It's the ultimate level and impedance matching interface, whether as an MW1 accessory or standing alone.

Features

Four floating transformerless guitar and bass DI channels with:

• Hi-Z IN - Instrument level input.

• INPUT-Z ATTENTUATION - variable impedance control (10K to 10M ohms).

• GAIN - Level matching control (-6 to +30dB).

• BAL OUT - Balanced TRS output with shield GND LIFT.

Four floating Real-Amping™ reverse DI channels with:

• BAL IN - Balanced TRS inputs with shield GND LIFT.

• ATTENTUATION - Level matching control (+6 to -30dB).

• OUTPUT-Z - variable impedance control (50 to 50K ohms).

• HiZ OUT- Instrument level output.

• Isolated power supply.

Here are a few applications

• Insert stomp box overdrive distortion and effects pedals in your studio path.

• Insert professional studio signal processing gear into your guitar or bass instrument level effects pedal chain.

• Boost your instruments to line level for DI tracking.

• Attenuate your line level signals to instrument level for Real-Amping™.

• Boost your instrument up to line level for a patchbay mult to split the signal to a DI track and simultaneously feed it back down to instrument level for multiple, composite amplifiers.

• Use the impedance controls conservatively to match your instrument's original tone, or in exaggerated ways to shape and discover new tones.

• Use two LZ8's (one in the control room and one in the studio) to pipe instrument signals up through long, line-level balanced snakes; then back down to instrument level at the opposite end. A great way to leave your amplifiers in isolation and allow the band to stay in the control room.

• The LZ8 is a tool, use your imagination to invent new uses.
