Connect your guitar's 1/4" output to the PDC22's input jack. Then, connect an XLR cable from the PDC22's balanced output to your mixer's microphone input. Use the attenuator switches if your guitar's signal is too hot. The ground lift switch can be engaged to eliminate hum if present. ### What is the difference between active and passive direct boxes? A passive DI box, like the Pyle-Pro PDC22, uses a transformer and requires no external power, making it simple and reliable for most instruments. An active DI box contains a powered preamp and is often used for very low-output passive pickups or when signal boosting is needed. The PDC22 is ideal for standard guitar and bass signals. ### Can the Pyle-Pro PDC22 eliminate ground loop hum? Yes, the Pyle-Pro PDC22 features a switchable ground lift designed specifically to eliminate ground loop hum. If you experience a buzzing noise when connecting your instrument to a mixer or PA system, engaging the ground lift switch on the DI box can often resolve the issue. ### What instruments can I connect with the Pyle-Pro PDC22 DI box? The PDC22 is versatile and can connect electric guitars, bass guitars, keyboards, outboard signal processors, submixers, effects processors, and even line outputs from boom boxes or consumer stereo systems to a main PA or recording mixer. ### How do I buy an original Pyle-Pro PDC22 DI box in India?
