Di Blending Question

[0175westwood29]

ok so my current setup will be going live soon!

i have a two amp dual mono rig one is clean one gets all my effects. looking for a rackmount unit ideally that can take the two di signals and give me one di out that i can send to the foh.

any ideas?

I'm sure I've seen a DI from Radial that has a "merge" function to sum two mono signals?

I'll check that out

here's how I'd do it, apologies if I got your situation mixed up .

Bass into one DI. The XLR out goes to the desk. The 1/4" output from the DI goes into an ABY box which sends the signal to the two amps.

Wouldn't work for this situation. It's two separate amps with two separate sounds he wants to DI for front of house. But have one mixed signal(he ultimately controls the mix of) for ease of use.
Used to piss me off talking to the sound guy every time that I run a clean Di and dirty di.

You don't sound as though you need any kind of control or switching? If not, [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/millenium_sml_21.htm"]this should do it[/url]. I found it when I was looking for a way to blend the two Dis from the new Geddy Sansamp.

Yep that looks just the ticket, unless he needs control over the mix/levels.

What's wrong with just giving the FOH 2 feeds and let them do the mixing?

I have to admit that did occur to me - presumably to retain the ability to tweak the blend to your liking rather than relying on the engineer?

Mini mixer with the line out going to the foh?
I can see how a Di splitter would be a bit less faff.

tbh its for ease, and speed of set up, i can give one feed with all i need in the pa, saves a big long conversation explaining to the sound guy!
