Anyone add a DI to their 7th Circle N72?

I recorded bass the other day through a passive DI, then into the N72 and it sounded really awesome. However this passive Whirlwind thingy is picking up all sorts of RF shit right now, and it's not my favorite thing in the world on it's own.

I remember it mentioned once that somebody had added a DI to their 7th circle N72.
Any tips as to how it's done?

SCA has an active DI kit that's pretty cheap ($79 for two channels). I've got one, works great.

Yeah, I saw that.
I don't want a DI just to have a DI. I want it to have a transformer and sound super bad-ass like the N72's I already have and not cost anything more than a 1/4" normalling jack. (Is this at all realistic?)

Since it's based on the 1272 circuit, where many of the racked versions have 1/4" DI inputs, it can't be very hard.

Here's a schematic: http://www.seventhcircleaudio.com/N72/N ... 72_sch.pdf

Anybody see a good spot to enter the circuit?

Check out the JLM active DI kit...or the Fivefish studio active DI kit. Both will give you what you're looking for: a simple circuit that gets your Hi-Z signal into the front end of the mic-pre at the right level/impedance.
