INTRODUCTION
The name DI box comes from direct injection box, that means exactly: To inject a signal directly or take an audio
signal from the source and send it directly to a mixer console or recorder. Direct boxes perform several important
functions: they are designed as impedance matching and signal balancing devices. This means that they take the
high impedance of a guitar or keyboard and ‘transform’ it to the low impedance used in balanced sound systems.
Balanced signals inherently cancel noise and, due to their lower impedance, are capable of very long cable runs.
Balanced signals are the norm in professional recording, broadcast and live sound. By properly matching the
impedance you will enjoy better sound, less noise and an extended frequency response.
DB2-A is a 2-channel active direct box that includes a double powered circuit to convert the impedance and balance
the signal. DB2-A with its two channels is specifi cally designed as a ‘consumer to pro’ stereo direct box for keyboards,
computer sound cards and electronic media.
The moulded sides make stacking of multiple units easier, and help isolate the case of the DI-box from the stage
both electrically and mechanically.
The DB2-A derives its power from the mixing console phantom power, from a battery or from an external AC/DC
adaptor.
