Mono to FOH Kit - Walrus Canvas Mono Line Isolator / DI + Rockboard Flat XLR Cable 20ft

Send your mono rig output directly to front of house. This kit pairs the Walrus Audio Canvas Mono with a low-profile RockBoard flat XLR cable, giving you a clean, reliable path from pedalboard to PA or interface.

Includes:

Canvas Stereo Mono Line Isolator / DI
RockBoard Flat XLR Cable 600cm / 20ft

The Canvas Mono is a Direct Box/Line Isolator designed to remove any resistance between you and your audience by giving a pristine sonic foundation to build your masterpiece upon. From houses of worship to the dive bar downtown, Canvas Mono is built to be the performance tool that goes wherever you are making your music.

Canvas Mono is a Passive Line Isolator (LI) and Direct Injection (DI) device that converts your unbalanced signal into a balanced signal for interfacing properly with your recording interface or mixer at front-of-house. If you’re using an amp-in-a-box (DSP Guitar Rig), like our ACS1, or running an acoustic or bass guitar direct, then the Canvas Mono is your new bridge to the front-of-house. The Canvas Mono packs everything you need from a DI/LI into a standard pedal-sized enclosure designed to look great right on top of your board.

• Flat frequency response from 20Hz-20kHz
• Converts ¼” unbalanced input to XLR balanced output.
• Transformer isolated output.
• Sum switch turns the Thru channel into a second input when engaged, allowing stereo input signals to be summed to the XLR output.
• Pad: Enabled a -15dB input pad (Only in D.I. mode) for reducing hot signals in order to minimize distortion.
• I./L.I.: Choose between DI or LI (Out for DI, In for LI)
• GND Lift: Isolates the GND pin on XLR to help reduce hum if present. Leave out for normal operation.
• Custom wound transformers for low THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and full frequency response.

Includes RockBoard Flat XLR Cable 600cm / 20ft

Designed to optimize pedalboard real estate, the RockBoard Flat XLR Cables combine super flat XLR plugs and a space-saving rectangular cable profile. Of course, the Flat XLR Cables can also be used on stage, as a microphone cable, XLR patch cable, or in any possible setup where a standard XLR cable is required. The specially designed super flat XLR plugs fit through the slot grid on top of the RockBoard pedalboards and can be used on compact mixers, patchbays, or anything else to save space and to keep the setup tidy and neat looking.

• flat XLR cable with rectangular profile and super compact XLR plugs
• XLR plugs fit through the slot grid on top of the RockBoard pedalboards
• gold-plated XLR connectors
• flat rectangular cable prevents cable preakage and jams
• 2 flexible copper conductors 20 x 0.12 mm (36 AWG)
• twisted copper shielding 64 x 0.12 mm (36 AWG)
• PE (polyethylene) signal insulation
• plug dimensions (L x W x H): male: 40 x 24 x 18 mm / 1 9/16" x 15/16" x 11/16", female: 43 x 24 x 18 mm / 1 11/16" x 15/16" x 11/16"

Direct Injection:

Use DI mode when connecting an unbalanced, high impedance source (Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, etc). The signal will be reduced by -20dB (-35dB with pad engaged) and converted to a balanced signal via the transformer connected to the XLR output. Use the gain on your mixer or preamp to bring the signal up to line level. Use LI mode when connecting your unbalanced, low impedance source (Amp + Cab Sim like the ACS1, keys, etc.). The signal will remain full volume and be converted to a balanced signal via the transformer connected to the XLR output. Less preamp gain will be required in LI mode. When deciding between DI or LI, check with the manufacturer of your gear to find the output impedance of the device you are wanting to interface with. For a general guide: High Impedance = anything above 1k = Use DI, Low Impedance = less than 1k = Use LI
