Hazelrigg 4DI
Hazelrigg Industries has unleashed the 4DI – four channels of alltube Direct Injection ( DI ) to ever come together in two rack spaces . The equivalent of four of the company ’ s VDI tube direct boxes , the 4DI ’ s input circuitry is based on the same original design as D . W . Fearn ’ s much-coveted VT-I / F all-triode , vacuum tube direct box , a legendary DI that set the standard to which all other DI boxes have been compared .
Traditionally , DI boxes have been largely utilitarian converters that contributed very little to the input signal , and often even degraded it . But the 4DI is four discrete channels of signal enriching goodness , bringing greater depth and clarity to everything you put into it . As many an engineer has discovered , connecting through a high-quality DI box is like lifting layers of fog .
