Phoenix Audio NICE DI - Class A Stereo DI Preamp

The Phoenix Audio “Nice DI” is a high-quality, active, Stereo DI, with Class A, discrete, high-impedance inputs (10M), and Class A, discrete, transformer balanced outputs. The Phoenix Audio Class A, all discrete, Stereo DI has been tested and used by many professionals in studio recording environments. And the comments are always the same…”This is the definitive DI!!!”. The DI’s characteristics are very noticeable on any input source, and is superb for “sweetening” the output from DAW or any other signal source. The overdrive is fantastic, the guitar sounds clean, clear, and un-restrained. The result is a brighter, clearer sound. A transformation of your instrument. And a STEREO unit for the price of many mono units.

NICE DI Features:
  • Phoenix's famous Class A, discrete, transformerless input stage, offering ultra-high impedance (10Mohm) inputs
  • Our proven and loved Class A, discrete DSOP-2 output with custom-wound DB694 transformer
  • Output pots for each channel with huge gain range
  • Outputs XLR on rear panel
  • Outputs 1/4″ jack (TS) input on the rear panel
  • Inputs: 1/4″ jack (TS) input on the front panel
  • Inputs: 1/4″ jack (TS) through on the front panel


Pure Class-A Tone at Input

The Nice DIs are built around a fully discrete Class-A circuit design, all hand-wired with military-grade silver connections into rugged and portable steel boxes. The transformerless, electronically balanced, ultra-high impedance (10Mohm) input stage assures that your signals are delivered into the circuit in their full glory. No treble roll off, or sluggish bass response as is rampant with so many DIs. Instead, you'll hear the full-bodied, punchy sounds necessary for delivering the powerful, often bombastic and complex, signals of modern music. Guitars and basses will sing; lush synths will swarm; hard-hitting drum machines will thump and crack—each sound rendered with its transients and full frequency spectrum in tact.

Versatile Transformer-Balanced Output

The output stage of the Nice DIs uses Phoenix Audio's renown DSOP-2, an all discrete output amp based on head-designer Dave Rees's infamous TF1 amp (which he developed for use in vintage Neve modules). With its custom-wound DB694 transformer and enormous headroom, the DSOP-2 can be driven to taste. Deliver more gain to achieve a beautifully saturated sound, back off for a cleaner, hi-fi sound, or choose any flavor in-between. And because these DIs can accept line level, you can use the N8, for example, anywhere a line-amp is necessary: along side your console, in a live setting, or simply in any patch to pick up that Class-A tone. With an easily recalled stepped gain control on every channel, dialing in your exact sound is a breeze. You'll find these to be the most musical, intuitive and versatile DIs you've ever used, capable of breathing new life into any direct injected signal.
