Description
ART DADB 2 Channel Active Direct Box
The dADB is a two channel active direct box for connecting instrument, line, or speaker signals to balanced inputs.
The high impedance 1/4" inputs are buffered and converted by extremely low noise electronics to deliver isolated, low impedance outputs. Thru jacks allow the input signal to be sent to an amplifier on stage as well as the XLR output . With an extremely flat, wide frequency response, the dADB is acoustically transparent, even at high input levels.
Both channels feature phase reversal, ground lifts to help reduce hum, low pass Bessel filters to eliminate high frequency interference, and up to 40 dB of attenuation.
The active circuitry can operate on phantom power or for over 100 hours on a new 9-volt battery. Active DIs are often a great match for sources like guitars and basses with passive pickups, or acoustic guitars with piezo pickups and no preamp.
The dADB provides a high fidelity connection to a mixer, PA system, or audio interface, and offers two independent channels with versatile features in a stage proof steel enclosure.
