Description
High quality design
Immaculately high headroom with a rich dynamic response and sonic clarity means every nuance of your signal is retained for crystal clear sound quality. Its increased headroom means that much higher level input signals can be accommodated without the need for an attenuating pad. The custom instrumentation-grade balanced input circuit was designed using advanced analog design techniques to create the very high input impedance required by passive guitar and bass pickups, whilst keeping the actual component values low to minimise noise. This innovative approach to circuit design produces a very low noise floor, which combined with the high clipping point creates an unrivalled dynamic range, regardless of whether you sum or split the signals.
Features
- 2-Channel Active DI box with high-headroom design and +48 V phantom power for extended dynamic range
