A 10 MΩ input, switchable load, built-in DYNAMITE gain and a custom transformer-balanced output make it a DI you can leave on the input all session. At Soundium it is the active half of the new FluxCore series, alongside the passive FCP1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10 MΩ ultra Hi-Z input:\u003c\/strong\u003e Puts virtually no load on passive pickups and piezos, so the top end, attack and dynamics stay intact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable LOAD (10 MΩ \/ 100 kΩ \/ 10 kΩ):\u003c\/strong\u003e Lets you dial in the feel of a typical DI box or line input when a pickup sounds better slightly loaded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated DYNAMITE gain boost:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds +15 or +30 dB of low-noise gain right at the source, which keeps the signal strong over long cable runs and in RF-heavy rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom-designed transformer output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced and galvanically isolated XLR output for clean sound and solid noise rejection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-position ground lift with on+:\u003c\/strong\u003e Off, on and the new on+ mode, which also helps suppress high-frequency noise and RFI when a plain lift is not enough.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt to mount anywhere:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-slip mat, full-size hook-and-loop pad for pedalboards and four rack screws; up to four units fit side by side in 1U.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCustomer Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost DI boxes load a passive bass or acoustic pickup more than you think, and the result is a duller, flatter tone before the preamp even sees it. The FCA1 removes that variable, then gives you the tools to shape it: pad hot sources such as active basses or amp outputs by 15 or 30 dB, flip polarity when you blend the DI with a miked cab, and use the THRU jack to feed your amp at the same time. Phantom-power LEDs on the front and rear panels show at a glance that the box is live, whether it sits on a desk, a pedalboard or in a rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQuick Specs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Active DI (48 V phantom power, IEC 61938)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Hz – 80 kHz (−0.3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 MΩ \/ 100 kΩ \/ 10 kΩ (pad 0 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttenuation pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 \/ −15 \/ −30 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 \/ +15 \/ +30 dB (DYNAMITE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax input level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 dBV (0 dB pad), 39 dBV (−30 dB pad)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.2 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.3 mm TS input, 6.3 mm TS thru, 3-pin male XLR output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 × 39 × 127 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 795 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × sE Electronics FluxCore FCA1 active DI box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × self-adhesive hook-and-loop pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × self-adhesive non-slip mat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 × rack-mounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive basses and guitars, upright bass and acoustic instruments with piezo pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio re-amping and DI tracking where you want the full character of the instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive rigs and touring racks that run long cables in noisy RF environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnects to any mixer, interface or stagebox input with 48 V phantom power over a balanced XLR cable.
