THanx oldgearguy. Faeflora, you must be from the old guard huh?
I know what a DI does. Do you?....
FYI, quote from you:
4. DI has nothing to do with balancing a signal.
"A DI serves several basic functions:...
It converts an unbalanced signal to balanced".

THe reason i ask is that alot of people seem to DI synths here. WHen you consider that they run at line level and not high impendence (unlike instrument level or am i mistaken?), this is why i ask the question.
Short cable runs shouldnt pick up RF interference or ground hum, hence why i've never bothered as i've never run into any problems. But i guess i'm enquiring b/c i hear and read many conflicting ideas... THe input accepts both, so i was wondering whether it would be of any benefit.

Just trying to improve the sound of what i do.
