The LR Baggs Align Series Active DI is a studio-quality direct box voiced specifically for acoustic instruments. It preserves the natural character of your guitar while giving you the control and headroom you need to integrate pedals, manage problem venues and deliver a consistent, professional sound to front of house every time you plug in. With flexible power options, balanced and unbalanced outputs and a suite of practical stage tools, the Align Active DI is built to live on your pedalboard. From taming hot pickups and eliminating hum to silent tuning and feedback control, it is a compact hub that keeps your acoustic tone clear, reliable and ready for any gig. Studio-Quality Acoustic Voicing The Align Active DI is designed from the ground up for acoustic instruments, so your natural tone remains intact. Rather than colouring your sound, it delivers a clean, articulate signal that captures the nuances of your playing and the character of your guitar, making it ideal for both live performance and recording. Pedalboard-Friendly Control Placed at the heart of your acoustic board, the Align Active DI manages your signal flow with ease. The dedicated mute switch lets you change instruments or tune in silence, while the thru-out switch gives you flexible routing options so you can feed tuners, amps or additional pedals without compromising the main DI signal. Reliable on Any Stage Features like the pad switch, ground lift and phase inversion are there to solve real-world problems quickly. Whether you are dealing with a particularly hot pickup, a noisy power situation or a boomy room, the Align Active DI gives you simple, effective tools to keep your sound clear and controlled. Flexible Power and Connectivity With the choice of 9V battery, 9V power supply or 48V phantom power, the Align Active DI adapts to whatever setup you are using. Balanced XLR and unbalanced jack outputs ensure you can connect directly to a mixing desk, audio interface or stage amp, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of acoustic rigs.Key Features Acoustic-Focused Active DI – Purpose-built for acoustic instruments, the Align Active DI delivers a clean, full-range signal that preserves the natural voice of your guitar, helping your playing sit perfectly in the mix without harshness or muddiness. Pad and Ground Lift Switches – The pad switch provides up to -20dB of attenuation on the XLR output, ideal for taming hot pickups hitting the PA too hard, while the ground lift switch helps eliminate ground loop hum for a quieter, more professional signal. Phase Inversion and Mute Functions – Phase inversion improves clarity and can significantly reduce feedback, especially in challenging rooms or complex pedal chains. The mute switch allows for silent instrument changes or tuning, keeping your performance seamless. Pedalboard-Ready with Thru-Out – Designed to integrate neatly into your pedalboard, the Align Active DI features a thru-out that works in tandem with the mute switch, giving you flexible routing to tuners or amps while maintaining a strong, consistent DI feed to front of house.

Specialist effects alter the signal in ways that do not sit cleanly inside one established family. They may use granular processing, frequency shifting, resonators, freeze or sustain, bit reduction, ring modulation, feedback networks or combinations of several techniques. The relevant distinction is the underlying process, its tracking or latency, and how completely the dry signal can be blended or replaced.

Voiced for the wider dynamics, strong transient detail and pickup characteristics of acoustic instruments. High input impedance, phase reversal, notch filtering and restrained processing help preserve body resonance while controlling piezo harshness and feedback. Balanced outputs may also carry the corrected signal directly to a mixer or interface.
