Warm Audio WA-DI-A2 Overview

Designed to convert instrument inputs to mic-level signals without signal degradation, the Warm Audio Active Stereo DI offers stereo input for synths, drum machines, guitar processors, and stereo rigs. With a host of adjustable functions per stereo channel and custom-wound CineMag transformer balancing, the Active Stereo DI offers high-quality conversion for low-output signals.

Each channel features selectable active or passive circuitry modes, with active mode, providing greater headroom for lower-output signals and aids in maintaining signal integrity during long cable runs. Each channel features a variable input pad control (which can be manually engaged) ranging from -3 to -30 dB. Each channel also features selectable instrument input or amp output modes for each 1/4" input jack, selectable polarity flip, and switchable ground lift for eliminating grounding loops. The unit also provides 3.5mm inputs and 1/4" thru jacks. With rugged aluminum construction, the Active Stereo DI is built to withstand the rigors of touring, venue operations, or studio work.

High-Quality Stereo DI Box
The Warm Audio Stereo DI provides two channels of high-quality direct injection for stereo instruments, including keyboards, synthesizers, and stereo guitar rigs. Designed for both studio and live use, the Stereo DI converts instrument-level signals into balanced outputs while maintaining the natural tone and dynamics of your source. The Active Stereo DI adds active circuitry to better match high-impedance sources to deliver consistent output levels to mixers and interfaces.
Signal Integrity
The Active Stereo DI adds selectable active circuitry, powered by 48V from the line-level connections made to interfaces or mixers. The same transformer-based signal path is available on the active DI for accurate signal conversion, and the active circuitry can even aid with longer cable runs.
Studio Sound with Pro, Road-Ready Features
Built with a durable metal chassis and premium internal components, the Active Stereo DI is designed to withstand the rigors of both studio installations and touring setups. A -3 to -30 dB pad helps dial in your ideal signal volume, and ground-lift switches for each channel help eliminate ground-loop noise.

The active version adds selectable 48V phantom power supplied by the line-level mixer/interface connection. The active DI can also be switched to passive mode for added versatility. Stereo DI’s rugged construction ensures dependable operation in any professional audio environment.

Ideal for Stereo Instruments
The Stereo DI is specifically designed for stereo instrument sources, with the Active Stereo DI being able to handle dual high-impedance signals, or blend high- and low-impedance signals as the active circuitry can be turned off at the channel level. The dual-channel configuration ensures consistent tone and performance across both channels while simplifying stereo signal routing in live and studio environments.
CineMag Transformer Equipped
The Active Stereo DI features premium CineMag USA transformers that deliver exceptional clarity, rich low-end response, and smooth high-frequency detail. These transformers provide excellent isolation and noise rejection while ensuring the natural character of your instruments are preserved.
