The MOEN NDI-E Buffalo DI Box For Electric Guitar offers guitarists the
ability to split their signal into an unbalanced and a balanced signal.
The NDI-E box converts the incoming unbalanced signal into a balanced
signal in order for it to be fed directly into a studio mixing desk/live
mixing console. Thanks to the DC9V input, the unbalanced guitar signal
is given the appropriate boost that is needed in order to make it
powerful enough to be picked up by the mixer's input, without the need
to increase signal gain, which can run the risk of introducing unwanted
noise. Instead you're left with a delightfully smooth response.
There are many benefits to having one of these little beauties in your
arsenal. For example, if you're recording at home or in the studio, you
want to ensure that your tone is transmitted with the utmost clarity,
retaining its intricate character across the frequency spectrum. Rather
than having to rely on miking up a guitar amplifier, you can simply
connect your guitar to your recording equipment via the NDI-E and record
the clean signal, leaving any processing - e.g. effects, compression,
EQ, etc. - until you've finished recording.
If you're interested in re-amping, you can capture an effects-laden
signal, post-amp signal using the unbalanced output on channel 1, whilst
the same recording is captured minus the effects or amplifier in
channel 2. If you choose to make adjustment or try computer based
effects plugins, you don't have to go through to process of recording
everything again, or processing the previous signal - it's ready and
waiting on channel 2.
If you're playing a live gig, you can send one signal to your stage
amplifier, and send an alternative feed to the sound engineer's desk for
processing, using in a monitor feed, or whatever else you can think of.
