The sE Electronics DM3 is an outstanding active inline DI. With an Ultra-HiZ input and a super-compact design, it's your perfect partner for enhancing instrument performance. Building on the proven DYNAMITE technology from the DM1 and DM2, the DM3 sets a new bar for active inline DI devices. Its Ultra-HiZ input and dedicated Class-A output buffer amplifier capture every nuance of your instrument's sound. This versatile DI works with a wide variety of sources, like vintage electric guitar or bass pickups, piezo acoustic instruments, and high-output devices such as keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, and laptops. With ample headroom and a switchable attenuation pad, it can handle powerful outputs, even from a 10,000 - watt solid - state power amplifier. The three - position ground lift switch, with a unique “on+” setting, effectively cuts out buzz, hum, and unwanted radio interference. The lockable 1/4” input jack ensures a stable connection in live or recording situations. Made with a robust all - metal housing and an inline form to save space, the DM3 is a compact all - rounder for top - notch sound quality. Key Features: Ultra - HiZ input with 10 megaohms of input impedance to preserve instrument sound; Massive headroom for various instruments and high - output sources; Three - stage ground lift switch with a unique “on+” setting to reduce noise; Lockable 1/4” input jack for secure connections; Dedicated Class - A output buffer amplifier for clean and consistent signals.

Using the sE Electronics DM3 is a breeze. First, connect your instrument to the 6.3 mm (1/4 in.) TRS jack input. Then, connect the output to your mixing console or recording device using the 3 - pin male XLR connector. Make sure to power it with 48V Phantom Power as specified. You can adjust the ground lift switch to the “on+” setting if you experience any buzz or interference. When handling high - output sources, use the switchable attenuation pad to prevent distortion. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid dropping it or exposing it to extreme temperatures. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. Always refer to the user manual for more detailed instructions and warranty information.
