DBX DB12 Active Direct Box

Description

The DBX DB12 Active Direct Box utilises custom DBX mu-metal-shielded audio transformers, high-quality Neutrik® connectors, low-noise circuitry which preserves the sonic integrity and true characteristics of the signal source.

Includes a pad switch that accommodates instrument, line and even speaker level signals.

Take even more control of your sound by utilising the polarity invert switch to set the phase relationship between the direct and mic'd sound.

As a professional, you don’t have time for interference, so DBX included a ground lift switch to solve potential hum and buzz problems due to ground loops. Between the combined shielding of the cast metal chassis and the custom-wound transformer, you can be doubly assured of a clean signal free from interference.

All of this sits atop a solid, stable footprint, that will keep the box from being dragged around the stage, and the unique contoured underside allows secure stacking of multiple units.
