Premium Components

Every aspect of our direct boxes is designed for maximum sonic integrity. You can expect warm, rich tone even after long cable runs, and the extruded aluminum enclosure ensures a long life span. So when you need to convert an instrument-level signal to mic-level with sonic quality as your top priority, you’ll be well-served with our DI Boxes.

New DI Box Experience

Both of our Direct Boxes offer a Thru-put jack that is jumpered to the input jack. This convenience jack allows you to send your instrument’s signal to a second place in addition to the live mixer or recording device. Our Direct Boxes can also take a recorded signal at line level and send it to another line input while simultaneously sending the signal out of the XLR mic-level output of the Direct Box.

Applications of Passive and Active DI Box

Direct Box Active is best for instruments with passive pickups, especially acoustic instruments. The Direct Box Active can also operate in “passive” mode. Direct Box Passive is best for balancing the signal of instruments with active electronics but still performs exceptionally well on passive pickups by producing a frequency range that exceeds the bandwidth of most passive DI boxes on the market.

    Sounds very nice on bass
    I own many models of DI units. I use them in my life sound business. I am not a recording studio. So far I’ve been using this DI in active mode with a variety of jazz and upright basses, in a church setting. I’ve been at FOH for years and know the room and instruments used in the band. We also broadcast to a second facility and stream on-line. I found this DI to be quiet, yet it adds something “nice” to the overall sound, compared to lesser DIs. I like my Countryman 85 and Radial DIs too, just sayin. Keep in mind the bass player has nice instruments, so I expect some pleasant sounds from the start. The band is skilled and experienced. Several said they liked the bass tone coming through the IEMs. So far, I really like this DI. Build quality seems nice too. Many users say the DI has a “warm” sound…just like the name implies. I don’t think this is audio voodoo. The DI sounds good! Sorry if you were looking form some kind of “expert” description…like…”Starts off with a refreshing string pluck, followed by a dark “walnut” finish with hints of chocolate.”

    Must have for any studio !
    STOP LOOKING AND BUY THIS ITEM . But if you need a review to justify buying this well here ya go ! I have used other top name brands but what this D.I. box offers is everything you would need in a studio. Its a one stop shop for active or passive guitars and basses. Super clean signa, so there is no worry for weird hums. The amp feature is awesome and worth it’s with in gold.. hands down this is my first recommendation for anyone rather being at home in the bedroom studios or in the big building studios. THIS IS A MUST HAVE ITEM
