SE ELECTRONICS / DM3

An extremely compact inline type active DI.

A beast of a DIFor electric guitars, basses, piezo pickups, keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, or even laptops. The DM3 is a compact, active in-line DI with an Ultra-HiZ input and impressive looks. It's sure to be the key to great sound!

Ultra-HiZ input that maximizes your instrument's performanceThe DM3 provides an incredible 10 megaohm input impedance without putting much strain on your instrument, preserving its original sound character. sE's dynamite technology, highly acclaimed in the DM1 and DM2, delivers the best signal quality without coloration, even with low-output pickups.

More headroom for hot instruments
The DM3 is designed to handle the highest output levels from any source, including keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, and laptops, and can even handle the output of a solid-state power amplifier (285 Vrms or 805Vp-p)*. If the input is too loud, the built-in attenuation pad switch attenuates the signal by 15 or 30 dB to accommodate any input level.

*DM3 cannot be used with tube amplifiers. Do not do so as it may cause equipment damage or accidents.

A new standard in ground lift switches
The DM3's three-position ground lift switch, featuring sE's new proprietary ""on+"" circuit, efficiently suppresses unwanted buzz and hum as well as hiss and unwanted radio frequency interference noise. Set up the best settings for the cleanest signal in any location, whether in the studio, home recording, concert venue, or house of worship.

Lockable 1/4"" Input Jack and Exclusive sE Plug Keychain
The DM3 features a lockable 1/4"" (6.3 mm) input jack, so you can connect your instruments securely in live or recording environments. It also comes with a special sE plug keychain for easy portability.

Class A Output Dedicated Buffer Amplifier and Premium Finish
The latest electronics provide the lowest noise in its class, while the proven Class A design prevents zero crossover distortion. The DM3 buffers the signal regardless of load impedance or cable length, so you can expect a powerful, clean, stable signal that will last for years to come.

Slim All-Metal Discrete Housing and Gold-Plated XLR Connector
The DM3's high-quality manufacturing standards, rugged construction, and gold-plated XLR connector provide a lossless signal you can rely on. The DM3 plugs directly into audio interfaces, mixers, stage boxes, and other common XLR inputs, without the need for extra cables.
