LEHLE SUNDAY DRIVER II AS A RECORDING PREAMP
Audio interfaces (sound cards) often do
not offer a high-quality or high-imped-
ance input necessary for direct recording
from an instrument.
Connecting the instrument to the stand-
ard line input of such devices generally
fails, because the instrument’s signal level
is too low.
The result is a significant sound discol-
oration, due to the incorrect input imped-
ance of the line input.
Here, you can use the LEHLE SUNDAY
DRIVER II to amplify your instrument’s
sensitive signal through its high-imped-
ance input to make the signal low-imped-
ance and thus compatible with your au-
dio interface, while all the time retaining
your instrument’s original sound in the
digital field.
By avoiding poor-quality or multiple
preamps successively, you keep the noise
floor at a very low level.
HOW TO DO THIS
1. Connect your instrument to the Input
socket (1) of the LEHLE SUNDAY DRIVER
II.
2. Connect the output (3) of the LEHLE
SUNDAY DRIVER II to the input of the au-
dio interface (unbalanced or balanced).
3. If you want to use the phantom power
of the audio interface, press the DI switch
(4) and then activate the phantom power.
For this you need a TRS-XLR cable.
