Guys, I’m just wondering
If I plug one unbalance (TS) instrument into a mixer (Left and Right TS)
And then the mixer outputs have a balance output (TRS)

And then from the mixer out (TRS) into sound card in (TRS)
Does it make the unbalance equipment become balance out via the mixer output?

Instrument out (unbalance) --> mixer out (balance) --> sound card in (balance)

The signal is unbalance before it reaches the mixer
Does the mixer make the signal balance?

If yes, why they created the DI Box
If not, that’s why they created the DI Box

I’m confused Confused

After a lot of reading on the net
I realize something about DI Box
It prevent the unbalance instrument to make a hum noise before it reaches to the mixer

I’m sorry for asking a stupid question
Before this I think the purpose of DI Box in a bedroom studio environment
DI Box helps a lot more in live usage of unbalance equipment

The ULTRA-DI DI20 is an innovative active 2-channel DI-box/splitter that takes the signal directly from an unbalanced high-impedance output—like an electric guitar—and feeds it directly into a mixing console or recorder. It is ideally suited to augment the traveling gear of musicians (especially guitar/bass players) as well as live/studio/broadcast engineers, installation contractors and studios/live event engineers. The DI20 converts 2 separate unbalanced 1/4" jack inputs into 2 balanced XLR outputs. There is a 2-channel/link mode for flexible usage as mono, 2-channel or splitter box. In link mode, channel 1 can be split up into 2 balanced XLR connectors plus 1 unbalanced 1/4" jack connector. Switchable input attenuation in 3 ranges allows input levels of up to +48 dBu, while a ground lift switch eliminates typical ground loop problems. It operates either by using a 9 V battery or by using 48 V phantom power. The whole package is enclosed in an ultra compact, road-suitable and extremely rugged housing.

Above is from behringer info.


For example , juka kita main gitar ( jaul dari komputer/mixer), signal unbalance akan ditukar ke balance (DI-20) and send to mixer/sound card.
This will make us more free room to do our music.. this is just a example.

hmmm aku ader behringer d.i. tuh, buat live ok ah. recording, kalau compare dgn brand "proper" yg lain, bising giler yg behringer nih. tapi murah lah - so takleh argue.

brands "proper" = mahal, tapi long term, quality
behringer = murah nak mampos, tapi sacrifice sound quality. high noise floor dan quality control tak consistent.
