The phantom or external power supply is not needed to use the LINE output.
4.3.5 DI output
The DI output of the Captor connects to any product with a mic input, usually a mixing console or
audio interface. Contrary to the LINE output, the DI output includes a speaker simulation, which
means it can be monitored directly, without using an external speaker simulation.
The level of the signal can be adjusted with the OUT level potentiometer.
The polarity of the DI output can be reversed with the PHASE switch. This switch does not affect the
LINE output.
The ground of the DI output can be lifted (disconnected) with the GND/LIFT switch. It's often best to
keep it in the GND position, but in some situations, lifting the ground could help prevent
interferences.
The DI output is active: it needs a power supply to work. The simplest way to power the DI output is to
use the 48V phantom power from the mic input. Alternatively, you can use an optional power adapter.
4.3.6 Speaker simulation
The speaker simulation embedded in the Captor is taken from our Le
Preamp series. It's an analog simulation, featuring two models, Guitar
and Bass, based on our Torpedo simulator. The Guitar model is based
on our classic Brit VintC 4×12 picked up with a Dyn57. The Bass model
is based on a mix of the vintage Fridge 8×10 and more modern Alu XL
4×10, picked up with a Cnd87.
The speaker simulation can be turned OFF, in which case the signal at the DI output is the dry, raw
signal coming straight out of the amp.
The speaker simulation is not active on the LINE output. If you want to use the speaker simulation but
need a jack connector, you can use a XLR-to-jack cable to connect the DI output to the jack input.
5 Setting up the Torpedo Captor
Here are some examples of guitar tracking or live uses of the Torpedo Captor. If you have any
