The ART Z-Direct is a passive DI box that takes line level or high-impedance instrument sources and transforms it into a low-impedance signal. When the guitar tone in your mix just doesnt seem to fit having a clean DI signal is ideal for allowing you to sculpt the guitar sound into something that fits. The Z-Direct Pro boasts a completely flat neutral transformer for a completely transparent and uncoloured sound giving you the flexibility you need to use the DI signal however you need to. The Z-Direct offers plenty of additional functionality too providing switchable input attenuation to achieve the ideal levels as well as a low-pass filter to remove resonant high-frequencies. The included switchable ground lift prevents hum and ground noise from interfering with your signal for utterly clean sound. A heavy-duty aluminium case ensures extreme durability perfect for holding up through busy live sets intense studio sessions and long tours.
