Product Description

The MDB-1A active direct box gives high-output instruments added headroom for low-noise, low-distortion connections to a mixer in the studio or on stage. Its high-impedance 1/4-inch input and thru output support a pass-through signal, while the balanced XLR output connects to a mixer or front-of-house system. Low Cut and Polarity switches help adapt the signal to the setup; the Merge switch sums stereo sources to mono, and a -20 dB pad suits high-level sources. The box runs on 48V phantom power and has a steel chassis, impact-resistant corners, and long-wearing jacks. This kit also includes a charcoal backpack as a bonus. Its padded laptop pocket fits laptops up to 15 inches, with adjustable backpack straps, a hidden side zip pocket, and two open side pockets for drinks or an umbrella. The main compartment measures 15 inches wide by 21.75 inches high when extended and 15 inches wide by 18 inches high when folded.

Features

    • Extra Headroom for Hotter Sources

      Active circuitry gives high-output instruments extra headroom, helping keep noise and distortion low during studio recording or live mixing sessions.

    • Flexible Signal Routing

      A high-impedance 1/4-inch input, thru output, and balanced XLR connection support routing from a source to a mixer while retaining a pass-through signal.

    • Practical Signal Controls

      Low Cut and Polarity switches, plus Ground Lift on the XLR output, provide controls to adapt connections and signal setup for studio or stage use.

    • Connect Stereo Sources to Mono Inputs

      The Merge switch sums stereo sources to mono at the output, providing a practical mono feed when connecting to a mixer or front-of-house system.

    • Bonus Laptop and Side Storage

      The included charcoal backpack holds laptops up to 15 inches in a padded pocket and adds adjustable straps, a hidden zip pocket, and two open side pockets.
