The musicians secret weapon Every musician DJ live and studio engineer needs a good quality DI box in their arsenal. The versatility is unparalleled and can accommodate many different kinds of equipment and purposes.

By converting unbalanced signals to balanced professional-level signals the DPDB allows you to connect your electric guitars synthesizers DJ equipment and much more to recording desks audio interfaces and much more without fuss. By impedance matching the DPDB can even improve the sound fidelity of your sound source and with a switchable input attenuation from 0dB -20dB and -40dB you can guarantee the perfect input gain level for your signal. Versatile application not just for electric guitars It goes without saying that the function of a DI box is preliminarily for electric instruments such as guitar and bass however the ART DPDB offers much more flexibility than that. As the DPDB is designed as two DI boxes in one unit you can send multiple signals simultaneously to a recording console or live mixing desk reducing the need to use individual units for each source. Keyboards and line-level signals can be sent through the DPDB to automatically balance and match the line-level outputs for a clean and properly gained signal to your mixing or recording console. Not just keyboards you can also plug in DJ equipment and convert your signal to a balanced professional level. DJ mixers often supply only an unbalanced -10dB signal and so to combat this plug in your equipment to the ART DPDB Dual Passive Direct box to convert this to a +4dB balanced level before it reaches your live PA equipment or mixing desk. The internal circuitry acts as a buffer for your signal allowing you to run extra-long cables between your equipment and the DPDB without sacrificing the top-end information. An additional function of the DPDB Dual Passive Direct Box is the ability to accept speaker level inputs from a power amplifier. This allows you to send a direct signal from your speakers to any post-effects or EQ modules at a safe level that can then be fed directly to a recording or live mixing console. By doing this you can create professional fully-mixed sounds by taking a direct feed from your speakers without having to use any digital audio workstations on stage.
