Sometimes throttling the subs is EXACLTY what you need to do.

I'm in a situation where I work with my own sound engineers that we've hired because we know them and trust them to do their job. So it's their call as to how to make FOH sound good, not mine. FOH exists for the audience, NOT for the bassist to determine what the audience hears based upon what I am hearing on the stage. My IEM's are for what I want to hear.

Because sometimes, depending on the sound engineer, that is all you hear out in front. All bass in subs only, no note definition at all. This way with the HPF you can keep whats being forced to the subs more manageable and causes you feed to actually be heard.

True. At the same time, if you are a Bluegrass band and your intent is to sound like Bluegrass yet you are not working with your very own personal trusted sound engineer but the one your are working with is insisting you sound like EDM, I don't know man.

I believe the Mesa Subway DI has a fixed HPF at 30hz (as opposed to a variable on the + model). Calling @agedhorse to verify.

Correct.

Just curious as to why one would desire a DI with a built in HPF?

If you are using the DI to drive both a stage amp and the FOH, especially if playing feedback prone instruments: double bass, ABG, hollow-body BG, etc.

Add to the list the Grace Felix and Alix preamps.

Sushi Box Finally. You can flip a switch for a 90hz HPF, not adjustable.
