Unique among ART DI boxes, XDirect models feature both 1\/4\" TRS and XLR inputs for expanded connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimple and durable, the XDirect is a compact DI in a rugged aluminum enclosure with a versatile feature set. Front panel switches engage up to 40 dB of attenuation to accommodate high level signals, and a low pass Bessel filter to eliminate high frequency interference. Rear switches activate a ground lift to reduce hum, and invert the signal polarity to resolve phase issues such as those which can occur when combining DI and mic sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe active circuitry can operate on phantom power or for over 250 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4\" TRS and XLR Inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4\" TRS Thru Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformer Isolated Balanced XLR Output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable Attenuation (0 dB, -20 dB, -40 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable Low Pass Filter, Ground Lift, and Phase Invert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowered by 9-Volt Battery (250+ Hours) or Phantom Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs 1x XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x 1\/4\" TRS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs 1x XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x 1\/4\" TRS Thru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Impedance 470 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance \u0026lt;600Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Input Level +4 dBu above Attenuation Setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Output Level +6 dBu (Battery)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+14 dBu (Phantom)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls Attenuator (0 dB, -20 dB, -40 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround Lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhase Invert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter 30 kHz Low Pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response 10 Hz - 100 kHz +\/- 5dB @ 0dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Range \u0026gt;100 dB (Typical)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion \u0026lt;0.05% (Typical)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Requirements 9V, 3.5 mA (Battery)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18V - 48V (Phantom)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery Life 250+ Hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (HWD) 1.75\" x 4.2\" x 3.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.45 cm x 10.7 cm x 8.9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 0.75 lbs \/ 340 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop the ART XDirect and more ART Pro Audio gear at SixStarPSL.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ART","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67676704801042,"sku":"XDIRECT","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/2529\/0029\/files\/lg_xdirect-front.jpg?v=1794425866","url":"https:\/\/sixstarpsl.com\/products\/art-xdirect-xdirect","provider":"SixStarPSL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
