dbxdb12 Active Direct Box Black

escellent quality

These DIs seem to work well for us and have help reduce RFI in our facility. Obviously well made. Quality product!

Great product :)

The problem addressed by this product was hum in the signal from an electronic keyboard. The original matching transformer I used allowed hum through and that was unacceptable. I selected this active device because it was phantom powered therefore didn't need a seperate power connection. The device worked as advertised out of the box and it appears to be of very durable construction. The switches are protected by the cast metal housing so they shouldn't be damaged by performers kicking, stepping on, or otherwise abusing the device.

Every thing is working perfect

We recently started trying to do home recording, and almost immediately ran into problems getting the right type of signals into the USB recoding device (a PreSonus AudioBox). Some signals, like the audio from a drum kit, would come in too low. And we couldn't figure out any way to get the signal from a guitar amp into the AudioBox.This box seems to be the solution for all of these types of problems. The drum kit works great with the 0db pad setting, and the ground lift prevents ground loop hum.For the guitar amp, there is a direct wired Thru output, so that you can hook the amp's speaker output up to this box's input, and plug the amp's speaker into the Thru output. (Make sure to do that so the amp is loaded correctly!) In conjunction with the 40db pad setting, you get a great signal level that sounds as close to the way the amp sounds in the room as we have ever gotten. (It will never be exactly the same due to the way the amp's speaker, and the room itself, color the sound.)A very versatile passive DI box, that adds little if any coloring to the sound. Highly recommended.
