DI or Line Isolator?

Unsure which device suits your setup? Consider the output impedance of your instrument or gear:
- High impedance (above 1kΩ): Use a DI
- Low impedance (below 1kΩ): Use a Line Isolator like the Canvas Nano

For stereo needs, explore the Canvas Stereo Dual DI/LI for an expanded solution.

Frequently Asked Questions ➤ What is the difference between a DI and a Line Isolator?
A DI (Direct Input) typically handles high-impedance signals above 1kΩ, while a Line Isolator is designed for low-impedance signals below 1kΩ, converting unbalanced inputs to balanced outputs with minimal distortion. The Canvas Nano is a Line Isolator, ideal for low-impedance devices like active bass guitars and active acoustics.
➤ Does the Canvas Nano require power or batteries?
No, the Canvas Nano is a passive device and does not require any power or batteries to operate.
➤ Can I use the Canvas Nano with my amp-in-a-box or effects rig?
Yes, the Canvas Nano is excellent for pairing with amp-in-a-box setups or any active instrument signal that needs conversion to a balanced signal for direct input to mixers or recording interfaces.
➤ What does the Ground Lift switch do?
The Ground Lift isolates the ground pin on the XLR output to help eliminate hum caused by ground loops. It can be engaged or disengaged depending on your setup’s noise environment.
➤ Is the Canvas Nano suitable for stereo applications?
The Canvas Nano is a single-channel line isolator. For stereo configurations, consider the Canvas Stereo Dual DI/LI designed specifically for stereo inputs.
