DBX DI1 Single-Channel Active Direct Box

DBX DI1 Single-Channel Active Direct Box

Product Description
The DBX DI1 is a professional single-channel active direct box designed to convert high-impedance, unbalanced instrument signals into low-impedance, balanced signals for mixers, audio interfaces, and PA systems. Ideal for electric guitars, basses, keyboards, and other instruments, it delivers clean, noise-free audio transmission over long cable runs. Built with a rugged metal chassis, the DI1 is suitable for studio recording, live sound reinforcement, touring, and portable audio applications.
