ART DPDB Dual Passive Direct Box Overview

The ART DPDB Dual Passive Direct Box is two high-quality direct boxes in one compact and convenient enclosure. Engineered to perfection, the ART DPDB allows you to connect your instrument, DJ equipment, live PA speakers and more, through to your recording or mixing interface. Perfect for both live and on the stage, the DPDB converts unbalanced -10dB signals to balanced +4dB signals to ensure you can get the best sound possible out of your equipment before going into your live front of house mixing desk or your studio recording system. Excelling at impedance matching the DPDB will even improve the sound of your equipment by supplying your signal with the correct impedance and with the switchable input pad, you can get the perfect input gain level for your audio source.

A must-have for any studio or live engineer, musician or rehearsal room, the ART DPDB uses premium parts inside a rugged, durable all-aluminium chassis in a small and compact format to take with you anywhere you create music. The portable nature goes hand in hand with the passive design, meaning you don't need to carry any bulky power supplies with you, so could even be used for busking. When out and about, should you encounter any noise or feedback, the integrated Ground Lift switch will help remove any hum or interference you get in your signal.

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. The ART DPDB features two high-quality DI boxes in one rugged unit, reducing the need to carry extra boxes for shows, rehearsals or recordings. 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.
