Enhance your sound
The Highline is a line isolator specifically designed to meet the needs of musicians using amp modelers. It provides a seamless connection to a public address (PA) system or recording system while fully preserving signal integrity, without adding noise or distortion. The Highline features a premium 1:1 Jensen transformer; it maintains the original volume level from the pedalboard to the PA system while providing galvanic isolation that eliminates ground loop noise, ensuring a clean, interference-free signal. The Highline's balanced output allows for the use of long cables to the PA system; it also blocks phantom power, preventing it from reaching the pedalboard. The Highline can also accept stereo inputs and sum them to mono using the "Sum" switch. Designed for amp modelers
Guitarists and bassists who use amp modelers on their pedalboards face particular challenges: although these modelers can generate line-level signals, they often use unbalanced connectors (1/4" jack) that do not support long cable runs without compromising sound quality. Furthermore, they are particularly susceptible to interference caused by ground loops when connected directly to a PA system. The Highline solves these problems by incorporating a 1:1 transformer into the signal path; this provides isolation that reduces interference, protects against phantom power, and maintains the signal at line level, allowing for a direct connection to the PA system.
Connect your amp modeler to the PA system
The Highline allows you to send the signal from your guitar amp modeler directly to the PA system while preserving the signal level and sound quality. The internal transformer provides isolation that reduces interference and protects your equipment from accidental phantom power activation.
Sum a stereo signal to mono
The Highline can also be configured to accept a stereo signal and sum both channels to the XLR output. This means you do not need to change your presets when the number of available channels on the mixing console is limited. Simply engage the sum switch to use the "Thru" jack as a second input.
Use the "Thru" output for local monitoring
When using a mono source with the Highline, you can connect the "Thru" output to an on-stage amplifier for local monitoring, while the XLR output sends the signal to the main PA system.
