ART DUALXDirect Dual Active DI Box

The ART DUALXDirect is a professional dual active DI box that provides two independent, high-quality active interfaces. It lets you seamlessly connect instrument, line, or speaker level signals to a mixer or other balanced inputs. Each of the high-impedance ¼-inch/XLR combo input jacks is buffered and converted by very low noise active electronics into an isolated, balanced, low-impedance signal output.

The DUALXDirect boasts an extremely flat and wide frequency response, effortlessly handling high signal levels. This ensures a very clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources, maintaining audio integrity even over long signal runs in high-noise environments. The fully active design can be powered via phantom voltage or a 9V battery, offering flexible power options for both studio recording and live sound reinforcement.

Equipped with a switchable ground lift to eliminate unwanted hum, and housed in a rugged extruded aluminium case, this DI box is built to withstand the rigours of the road. It converts high-impedance balanced or unbalanced inputs into 600Ω balanced outputs, featuring switchable input attenuation to accommodate different source levels.
