DI Boxes

The Live Wire Solutions direct box is inexpensive but well-made from metal parts. It provides double shielding to reduce noise and interference with 1/4" inputs and outputs and a balanced XLR output that ignores phantom power. It has a ground lift switch to sever the ground connection between the input and output. The Whirlwind IMP 2 is a passive direct box that is smaller than the Live Wire box. It is a basic and economical option to convert unbalanced signals to balanced low impedance outputs with a ground lift switch. The Radial Engineering Pro DI box includes an attenuator switch to reduce the signal by -15dB, which is useful for hot signals. It uses a proprietary transformer for

#1 - Live Wire Solutions Direct Box, Model PDI – Inexpensive, however, well

made. It’s made of metal, no plastic parts (except the switch) –

Price: $45.00

Description

The PDI double-shielded D.I. box provides increased protection against noise and
interference. Features 1/4" high impedance from instrument wired in the panel. Makes
no difference which is used for input or output. 1/4" high impedance goes to your amp
when input/output is used as a loop.

Balanced and floating low-impedance XLR goes to your workstation or mixing console,
and ignores +48V phantom power. The Lift mode severs ground connection between
the input and the XLR output and ground remains connected in GND mode.

Features

 1/4" high-impedance HI-Z input and output


 Balanced XLR output
 Ground lift switch
 Double shielded to reduce interference
 Heavy-duty, all-steel chassis
 Rubber skid pad
#2 - DI Box #2 – Whirlwind IMP 2 – Passive direct box. Most professional sound people have
several of these in their kit. Made of metal, no plastic except for the ground lift switch. It’s
smaller than the Live Wire Solutions box.
Price: $81.00

Description

The Whirlwind IMP is an economical direct box that converts line or instrument level
unbalanced signals to low-impedance balanced. Input is Hi-Z bridging. Output has a
ground lift switch. Basic, low cost, and it does the job.
#3 – Radial Engineering Pro DI Passive Direct Box . The key feature that separates
this box from the other two is that it has an attenuator switch (pad). The pad reduces the
signal (to the board) by (minus) -15dB. This is useful when someone has a signal that
is very hot and cannot be easily managed by the gain control on the sound board.
Price: $130.00

Description

The Radial ProDI Passive Direct Box uses a proprietary transformer for both impedance
conversion and isolation for ground loop hum and buzz elimination. T

The DI Box features:

 XLR and 1/4" thru/input,


 -15dB pad
 ground lift
 Heavy-duty construction
 600-ohm balanced output. 2-1/2" x 4-1/4"
 Linear from 20Hz-18kHz, with low distortion and virtually zero phase distortion

 Protective front panel


 Heavy-duty construction
 Baked enamel finish
