Active DI Box DIBOX - Impedance Converter, Transformer-Balanced 3-Pin XLR Output, 1/4in Input, 0/20/40dB Attenuation

Active DI Box DIBOX - Impedance Converter, Transformer-Balanced 3-Pin XLR Output, 1/4in Input, 0/20/40dB Attenuation Description

Take control of your signal with the Active DI Box DIBOX, a portable, battery-powered impedance converter designed for pristine tone on stage or in the studio. This active DI box preserves your instrument's character while delivering a clean, transformer-balanced XLR output to mixers, interfaces, or front-of-house systems.

• Input: 1/4" jack (tip live, sleeve grounded) or 3-pin XLR (pin 2 live), unbalanced for flexible ergonomic hookup.
• Parallel link output: 1/4" jack to feed other devices directly or through a buffer amplifier.
• Attenuator: selectable 0 dB, 20 dB, or 40 dB for optimal headroom and crowd-friendly gain staging.
• Impedance: Input 1 MΩ; output 47 kΩ (designed for stable loading into typical stage and studio gear).
• Maximum input level before clipping: +9 dBu (0 dB), +29 dBu (20 dB), +49 dBu (40 dB) depending on attenuation setting.
• Output: 3-pin XLR transformer-balanced output; drives lines greater than 600 Ω for robust, long-cable performance.
• Maximum output level before clipping (with battery or phantom power): +9 dBu.
• Frequency response: 30 Hz to 20 kHz, +0/-1 dB for faithful signal reproduction across the full audio band.
• Noise: less than -105 dBu (unweighted, 22 Hz to 22 kHz, RMS) for quiet, transparent operation.
• Harmonic Distortion: less than 0.005% at 1 kHz, at 0 dBu output, ensuring clean tone with minimal coloration.
• Power: Phantom power required +20 to +48 V; current draw from phantom power is less than 8 mA. Battery powered operation supported with a 9V battery (included) for portable use.
• Construction: Aluminum alloy housing for durability and pro-grade reliability on the road and in the studio.
• Note on appearance: Housing color and finish may vary slightly between batches due to production differences; display lighting can also affect perceived color.

Ideal for guitar, bass, keyboards, or line-level sources, the DIBOX combines practical input options, precise impedance conversion, and a professional, noise-free, transformer-balanced output to ensure your signal cuts through with clarity.
