Frequently Asked Questions

HyDrive speakers use neodymium magnets, making them lighter and more efficient, resulting in a tighter, more responsive low-end and improved overall clarity.
Yes, the XLR DI output provides a clean, usable signal for recording, although you might want to add some EQ or compression to taste.
It's more of a subtle contouring tool; it can round out the low-end or add a touch of mid-range presence, but it won't drastically change the fundamental sound.
