Can I use a DI box to connect a guitar to a mixing console?
With short cable lengths up to around 6 m, a guitar can even be connected directly to the line input. With longer cables, the use of a DI box is recommended; the output of the DI box is connected to the microphone input. A rule of thumb is that a passive box works for all guitars with built-in preamplifiers. However, in the case of electric guitars, it should be kept in mind that the guitar amplifier makes a significant contribution to the sound characteristics.
