A DI is a "direct interface" which takes an instrument signal from a
guitar or bass pickup output, balances it and converts it to low impedence
so that it can be plugged into a standard mic preamp. They come in many
shapes and sizes and many of them ave other bells and whistles like the
ability to switch polarity or active components that will wash your car
and pick up your dry cleaning, but at it's most basic that's all a DI
does.
