Send an instrument or laptop cleanly to your mixer
A single-channel active DI box that turns an unbalanced instrument or line signal into a balanced XLR feed, so it can run over a long cable into your mixing console without noise or hum.
This is a generic single-channel active DI (direct injection) box.
Its job is to take an unbalanced, high-impedance instrument or line signal from a guitar, bass, keyboard, laptop or a mixer output and convert it into a balanced, low-impedance mic-level signal on a balanced XLR output.
That balanced output can then travel over a long cable into a mixing console or stage box without picking up noise or hum along the way.
"Active" means it uses powered circuitry rather than just a transformer, and this unit is battery powered per its specifications.
It covers a full frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and is light and compact at about 0.65 kg, so it sits neatly on a stage or a desk.
It is a passive-signal-path accessory in the audio chain rather than a sound-producing device, and it is used at live events, on stage and in studios wherever a source needs to reach a distant mixer cleanly.
Why Choose This Product
- Clean long runs: it converts an unbalanced signal to a balanced XLR feed that resists noise and hum over long cable runs to the console.
- Right for instruments and line sources: it takes a guitar, bass, keyboard, laptop or mixer output and presents it properly to the mixer.
- Active and battery powered: the powered circuit is ready to work from its own battery, so it does not depend on a separate power supply.
- Full-band response: a 20 Hz to 20 kHz range covers the audible band for music and speech.
- Light and compact: about 0.65 kg, so it packs easily and combines with other rentals in one delivery.
How Can You Use This
- Stage guitar or bass: send a guitar or bass to the front-of-house mixer over a long stage cable without hum.
- Keyboard to console: route a keyboard output to the mixing console on a balanced XLR line.
- Laptop feed: take a laptop or media player output and give the console a clean, balanced input.
- Mixer or line source: convert an unbalanced line output into a balanced feed for the main mix.
- Live events and studio: use it on stage, at live events or in a studio wherever a source sits far from the mixer.
