Art Pro Audio DUALXDirect Professional Dual Channel Active Direct Box

A professional-grade solution for all your audio interfacing needs, the DUALXDirect Professional Dual Channel Active Direct Box offers two independent, high-quality active interfaces. This innovative device allows you to seamlessly connect instrument, line, or speaker level signals to a mixer or other balanced inputs, making it an essential tool for musicians, audio engineers, and DJs alike.Each channel of this dual channel active direct box is equipped with high impedance 1/4" and XLR inputs, provided via versatile "combo" jacks. These inputs are buffered and converted by ultra-low noise active electronics into an isolated, balanced, low impedance signal output. This ensures an exceptionally clean and neutral sound across a wide variety of signal sources, even over long signal runs in high noise environments.The DUALXDirect stands out with its extremely flat and wide frequency response, capable of handling high signal levels. The input Attenuator switches allow for a broad range of signal levels, while the input Thru jacks offer the convenience of tapping off of your signal chain. The Ground Lift switches provide the added benefit of completely separating the input and output signal grounds when needed, effectively reducing hum and ground-loop noise.This reliable and durable device is powered by phantom voltage from the output connections or by an internal 9V battery when external power is not available. Its power efficiency is evident as it draws less than 7.5 mA when powered by a battery, providing over 100 hours of operation with a new battery. When phantom power is available, the DUALXDirect smartly draws its power from the external source, with the Power On/Off switch indicating the power source through its brightness level.Encased in a compact, black-anodized all-aluminum case, the DUALXDirect is designed for years of trouble-free service in live sound, permanent/fixed install, DJ, and virtually any PA application. Its full feature set, rugged construction, and high-end specifications make the DUALXDirect Professional Dual Channel Active Direct Box an obvious choice for those seeking high-quality, professional audio equipment.
