I’m getting flooded with videos about using Line Level Isolators instead of DI boxes to send signals from modelers (Helix, Iridium, Kemper, etc.) to the board.

Anyone have experience with this? I think the Line ISO gives a super hot signal to the board (which the sound guy would not expect) but that gives you a really good signal to noise ratio.

So, in theory, it would be optimal to send a Line ISO signal, but the sound guy may not be equipped to deal with an optimal signal in practice.

If you don’t know what I mean, look at demos of the Pinstripe DISO+ and MISO, or the Walrus Canvas.

Or maybe I should post this in the live sound section.
